What car was considered a flop in the

Many cars have been considered flops throughout automotive history, for various reasons including poor design, unreliable engineering, poor marketing, or simply being released at the wrong time. To answer your question properly, I need you to specify a *time period*. "A flop in the..." needs a timeframe, e.g., "A flop in the 1980s," "A flop in the 2010s," or "A flop in the early 2000s".

Some examples of cars considered flops in different eras include:

* Ford Edsel (1957-1960): Often cited as *the* quintessential automotive flop. High expectations and poor design led to disastrous sales.

* Pontiac Aztek (2001-2005): Criticized for its unusual styling and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to blend SUV and minivan features.

* Toyota Prius (1997-Present): Although a massive success overall, the first-generation Prius was considered a flop by many at launch for its styling and limited appeal.

Give me a time period, and I can give you a more specific and relevant answer.
