Top car flops...to collectors

I just saw this on MSN and thought it interesting that the Solstice made the list but not the Crossfire....

Today's Flops, Tomorrow's Collectibles - MSN Autos

The Solstice was built for 5 years and only 118,000 built..... does this sound familiar???

How is the FJ Cruiser a flop? I see them everywhere. Plus they're actually still in production unlike the rest of the list. I also doubt the Aztek will ever be collectible. The rest of the list I can understand.

Solstice production was 65,724 according to Wiki.

Crossfire 83005.

Still surprised we weren't mentioned. Sure to be a collectable!

A $30,000 sports car with a manually operated top.

The Pontiac GM deaer here was giving them away. Damm things are everywhere.

The Ford dealer had a lot of the two seat Thunder chickens. They are everywhere.

Even with four Crossfires on my parking lot, Mrs Sharko, Crumpy, Veto and mine, we are in theminority.
