these are flop cars??? especially the logan? i see many logans on mumbai roads. go to bangalore, you will be flooded by logans on the roads. see mery cabs, they are all logans.
estilo & fabia are lesser but cannot be termed as flop.

Some cars are not made to sell in volumes, so certainly they can not be termed as "failed". As a very simple example, can you call a Rolls Royce Phantom as failed or flop car just because it has very few buyers? Definitely No.

Honda Jazz is not a successful model, I think, consider the segment it belong to.
Maini Reva is not a failed model. We don't feel Reva that much as EV segment in Indian car market is still picking up. However, they are keeping up with their expectations in India and are doing really good in international market.

Flops/Failures also depends on expected sales vs actual sales.
If VW Bettle sales 100 per month, it certainly is not flop, but if VW Polo would sell 100 per month, it certainly is.
Similarly, maruti A-Star is not selling less (compared to so many), but since it is from Maruti's table, low sales means this car is flop in the market.

The Ford Escort never actually had a great sales chart, but IMHO, it was not a flop, or for that matter, a complete flop. It was launched in 1996 and sold until 1999, after which during the start of Y2K, it vanished with the advent of the Ikon in 1999.
I don't know if these have been ,mentioned before, as I'm new here, but these all were miserable flops -
1. Standard 2000
2. Tata Estate(maybe not too bad a flop as other models mentioned though)
3. Sipani D1/Dolphin
4. Rover Montego(from Sipani)
5. Premier Sigma,.
6. Mahindra Classic (correct me if I'm wrong)
Was the Maruti 1000 a flop?

Sigma was a Versa/Eeco sort of vehicle. It came with the option of 3 row A/c too. The classic was a premium version of the MM540, with bucket seats, mag wheels an such, I'm not really convinced it sold well.
Aaah, the Voyager based on a Mitsubishi van.
It was a partial flop. Most of its sales accounted for Ambulances. It was a deserving van, but was launched tad too late, in 1996. Had it been launched in 1990, it would have sold better.
