Many BMW 8 Series are collecting dust in showrooms all over US

The BMW 8 Series replaced the 6 Series nameplate in 2018. This was a move made by the previous chairman, Harald Kruger, to position the 8 Series as a true luxury car. However, this strategy isn’t bearing fruit in the US as sales performance for the 8 Series is underwhelming. Automotive News reported that most BMW dealerships are facing an accumulation of 8 Series, which blocks inventories.

Designed for women? How the Toyota Passo Sette turned from flop into the Perodua Alza?

It’s one of the oldest new cars that you can still buy in Malaysia, but the Perodua Alza is still one of Malaysia’s favourite MPVs. It’s a market that is slowly diminishing as most Malaysian families prefer getting SUVs instead. But while the Alza had turned 11 just a few days ago – it was launched on 23-November 2009 – its Japanese twin cousins were more or less domestic flops.

Once unbeatable, Proton lost its No.1 rank not because of Perodua, but the PC. How?

In the early 2000s, the hardworking people at Perodua were scratching their heads trying to understand why sales of their oldest model, the Perodua Kancil was increasing. Isn’t that a good thing you ask? Well normally, you would expect demand for an ageing model to decline over time. However, between 1995 and 2002, sales of the Perodua Kancil grew by 56 percent, from 39,856 units to 62,279 units, outpacing the industry’s overall growth by 6 percent.
