One of the biggest misses of all time from concept to production. All credit goes to the creators of this concept car. They saw the opportunity to create a futuristic fun vehicle and they actually made it! The Sunfire was supposed to make cars like the Celica go back to Japan and take the American market by storm. Woops.
What the Public Thought After Release
Once the actual Sunfire was released, it actually sold really well. Was this because they were excited for the concept to come to life? The answer is an emphatic no. This was not due to the fact it was a good car. It was a Cavalier with a different nameplate. It was an absolute garbage dud of a vehicle. In the end, Pontiac executives chose to completely abandon their incredible vehicle to instead try to make a profit on yet more entry-level vehicles. In hindsight, we can look back and that incredibly innovative concept car and only wonder “What if?”
