Cause of death: the autopsy

A study found 19 of 21 cars contacted third parties, and the farm scored a consumer checker at 15 out of 25. It would be a free consumer product, a nonprofit's guides already cover it, and making claims about named carmakers carries risk.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
