  1. Another brand that could be mentioned; Jaguar. It used to be such a desirable brand but right now I feel like it's pretty much death. Land Rover's Range Rover line has been thriving since consumer demand shifted towards SUV's, but I feel like Jaguar has been left behind.

  2. For the European market; Alfa Romeo; The Tonale has been selling okay, but I agree the other models are in need of a major upgrade. Even though the Giulia is still one of the best looking cars on the road today. But they have always been a niche brand compared to the big German 3. Buick; Has never been sold here. Some models were sold by GM under the brand Opel. But they have sold that brand to Peugeot-Citroën. I don't think GM has any presence in the European market at all these days. Crysler; They used to have a presence in the European market in the late 2000's. The 300 was a good selling car here for a while. Also, the PT cruiser was a car you would sometimes see on the road. But after the merger with Fiat they tried to sell them for a while under the Lancia brand. Which failed horrible, since the people buying it really wanted to buy it because of how tough and American it looked. Fiat; They have more models here, but with the notable exception for the 500, which is still a good selling car, nothing that's noteworthy from a volume perspective. Infinity; It never sold well and it's already left the market for several years. Mitsubishi; On it's deathbed waiting for someone to end it's suffering. The only car that it sells right now is a 5 year old Renault Clio with a different badge on it. Mini: Same as Fiat really; The Cooper is still a pretty popular premium hatchback. But the other models don't really sell in notable numbers. They do have the advantage that they are always sold at BMW dealers so they don't need their own dealer network.
