When something is designed and built by a committee, it is USUALLY sad/bad stuff. Here in the US we have epic examples of our own. The good stuff has someone's inspiration and desire behind it and in the modern car companies with international markets and cost constraints, these very seldom come to market.
My epic American fail since it was for the premium car line; the Cadillac Cimarron (1982), a rebadged Chevy J-car to attract BMW fans to an American small luxury car.
