I think it is always a bit sad when something comes to an end. A favorite body lotion, restaurant, gift shop (some on my missed list of late) and now some models of cars. According to a USA Today article on 12/20/11, there are many models that have rolled off the assembly line for the last time and will fade into automobile history after 2012. These are just a few of the models taking their final bows and that will not be replaced by newer versions:
- BMW Active Hybrid (many BMW’s are going electric)
- Buick Lucerne
- Cadillac DTS and STS (new XTS will fill in here)
- Dodge Dakota (no enough demand for small trucks)
- Ford Crown Victoria (this made me laugh-“it’s the last, great, rear-wheel drive American really-full-size car”)
- Honda Element
- Mazda RX-8*
- Nissan Altima Hybrid
- Mitsubishi Eclipse and Endeavor
There could be more to come. It appears that the whole line of Saab will soon be gone as well.
Now think…..what do you miss that is no longer around?
