There’s a few sayings about good salespeople. They can sell snow to an eskimo or a pair of gloves to a hand-less man or wool to a baby sheep farmer. No matter how good some the salespeople, there are cars that are a real struggle to sell. What is the reason why cars don’t sell? Reputation.
A few years ago, Buick was notorious for being the official car of old people and would have been included on this list. However, after a massive brand turnaround, Buick is catering to younger buyers and their reputation is changing. The brands included below have some serious reputation issues. So bad, in fact, that Zig Ziglar would struggle to sell these and he’s pretty much the most famous salesman in the world.

Last weekend, GM’s marketing head honcho, Joel Ewanick, resigned. Business Insider covered it, the Detroit News covered it and a whole bunch of other websites covered the story too. People had a love-hate relationship with the man. He’s the automotive world’s frenemy. Think of Ewanick like coffee. It’s bad for your teeth and probably your health, but it’s just the kick in the pants most people need to get their day started.
Ewanick fired advertising agencies, started a war with Facebook and said Super Bowl commercials were a waste of money. Ewanick also changed company culture, developed an advertising strategy to save GM billions, helped turn around a failing brand, took risks with their media spends and demanded creative ideas. So what does Ewanick’s exit mean for Mojo Motors, car shoppers and dealerships? Let’s take a look.
