All the cars being discontinued for 2025:  Here's what we'll miss

 

The arrival of the 2025 model year means new faces in the showroom—and a few farewells.

As automakers shift their focus to electric powertrains and SUVs, some classic nameplates, powerful sports cars, and economic models are getting left behind.  Here's the rundown on everything that won't make it to next year, from discontinued sedans to performance icons we'll miss.  [...]

Waves bye to the slow moving poorly selling cars.
 

And … good luck to the manufactures journey for electrification of their lineup. May the cars come with long extension cords or a self contained electric generation device.

Cars have had a self contained electric generation device for many years. It is called an ICE engine, and the emissions from those engines have been improved so much, often cars are filtering the air when they are operating.

My wife is not very happy as her favorite car is being discontinued.  She absolutely loves the XT4, the size, and the style is perfect according to her.  I agree with the criticism of the domestic manufacturers, GM and Ford, (I refuse to call Stellantis a domestic manufacturer anymore) ditching the sedan.  I liked both the Impala and the Malibu, and the best vehicle I ever drove in the past five years was a loaded Buick Lacrosse.

Apparently the average price for a new car from the legacy Manufacturers is around $50k. Now quite how many people can afford that is an interesting question.

 

And good luck finding that many at that price at your local Ford dealer.

and therein lies the rub ... that infernal ICE and/or self contained electric generation device.

the ICE is so bad that CA wants to ban new cars with ICE somewhere around 2035. Is the technology truly ready for this? is the CA power grid ready?  🤣 

I can here the music now ... "rolling blackouts here i come ...right back where I started from .."

 

the big push to EV fills a niche need for some people though not for all as being promoted and championed by many

 

now hybrid is another story which seems a respectable compromise. toyota appears to understand this space very well.
