In the tumultuous world of automotive history, once-great brands like Mitsubishi, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Mini, and Nissan are now teetering on the edge of oblivion. Mitsubishi, once a powerhouse of performance with iconic models like the Lancer Evo and 3000 GT, now struggles with a diminished presence in the US, facing a bleak future despite desperate strategic moves. Chrysler, a cornerstone of American cars for decades, now offers only the Pacifica minivan, drowning in a sea of SUVs and financial woes under stellantis' troubled umbrella.

Alfa Romeo, known for creating cars that stir the soul, battles a reputation for costly unreliability, resulting in a sharp sales decline of 29% in the US. Mini, a brand that once captured hearts with its unique charm, faces a drastic drop in sales, needing to rediscover its essence to avoid being forgotten. Nissan, with its iconic GTR and Z models, grapples with plummeting revenue and global sales, resorting to the ark plan as a final lifeline in a stormy sea of challenges.

Fiat and Jaguar, once symbols of style and luxury, now stand at the precipice of irrelevance, with Fiat's lineup stripped bare and Jaguar taking a year-long hiatus to redefine its future. Maserati, a brand synonymous with Italian flair and craftsmanship, struggles to find its identity, oscillating between different market positions while battling reliability woes. These brands, once titans of the automotive world, now face an uncertain fate, with the looming specter of becoming mere footnotes in the annals of motoring history.
