1. Ford Probe
A cute little sport coupe, the Probe was released in 1989 and was meant to replace the company’s signature Mustang as Ford’s top sleek compact sportscar. Now Mustang, that’s a strong name filled with character; however, Probe sounded like something unorthodox, invasive, inappropriate, and down-right scary!
In the end, Mustang fans weren’t too pleased with the name or what Probe had to offer and it was discontinued in 1997.
