As 2011 runs out, so does the life of these 14 cars and trucks, victims of changing tastes, corporate indifference. While a few never had much of a following, several were popular in their peak, and a couple were movie stars and mainstays of American freeways for decades. But with more than 300 models of new vehicles available to American car buyers, not even the favorite of the fast and furious crowd can just coast.
Vehicles on the chopping block are :
Buick Lucerne
Ford Crown Vic
Cadillac DTS / STS
Chevy HHR
Dodge Dakota
Ford Ranger
Honda Element
Lotus Elise
Mazda RX-8
Mitsubishi Eclipse / Endeavour
Volvo S40 / V50
