The cars that have been discontinued for 2021

As 2020 ticks to a close, we are doing our last stock of the automotive marketplace, which will be shorter a few dozen designs when the dust is settled and the 2021s are stocked up. This year was yet one more rough one particular for fanatic autos, but there are also a number of on this checklist that we never be expecting to be mourned as well broadly (cough, Dodge Journey, cough). We would also forgive you if you believed a number of of these were prolonged lifeless previously. Without having more ado, let’s dive in. 

Acura’s huge sedan has been a sluggish seller for … ever? When you blend that with a marketplace that has grown progressively hostile towards trunks, perfectly, we are not able to seriously say we are stunned. 

Smooth, tiny, alluring and stiffer than concrete. Yep, these were still becoming created in 2020, in topless kind anyway. The coupe died a year in the past. 

Much more a stretched DB9 than an true sedan, it was however a very thing. Admittedly, considerably less so when they engorged the grille. 

This one particular stings, due to the fact the conclude of the Mulsanne also indicates the conclude of the six.75-liter V8 at Bentley — an engine remarkable more than enough that we gave it its individual sendoff publish.

BMW’s initial crack at a PHEV supercar was unusual and excellent. 

The impressively engineered Cadillac flagship sedan goes out with a whimper. 

The conclude of the line for one particular of the most honored nameplates in automotive background (though new generations have barely merited fashionable classic position). 

As for the Sonic, it was a fun, handsome subcompact car or truck. Regrettably, “subcompact” and “car or truck” are no more time agreeable. 

This pair was born in Chrysler’s dim days of the 2000s, were specified a a great deal-desired polish in the early 20-teenagers and in some way survived to see the sickly 20s. Alas, they are long gone. 

This was the 4-seat grand-touring hatchback derived from the initial FF. 

The Fiata is no additional the 500L is just “no.”

Another “oof” for the enthusiasts, as the departure of the GT350 indicates the substantial-revving 5.2L “Voodoo” flat-aircraft-crank V8 is now jobless. 

Let’s not forget the Fusion, though. This was a perfectly-engineered, pattern-environment sedan that really bought really perfectly irrespective of becoming bumped off with the rest of Ford’s car or truck lineup. 

This one particular is form of a “gotcha,” as the Si is basically heading on hiatus in advance of the Civic’s forthcoming redesign. The Civic Coupe is long gone for great, even so, and the up to date Fit is currently not “go” for the U.S. sector. 

This was the hatchback edition of the Elantra. 

The XE was great to drive but it was not perfectly-rounded more than enough to genuinely be competitive versus the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4s of the entire world. The XF Sport Brake was a wagon, so we almost certainly never want to clarify why it truly is fleeing this continent. 

Lexus GS

Another sedan bites the dust. 

The Continental went out on a substantial notice at minimum. And with the MKZ, Lincoln formally puts an conclude to its MK naming catastrophe. 

It started off daily life as the SLK, so this is form of a two-for-one particular. 

Turns out it was not discontinued in 1959 as some of us believed. 

1st it was a Toyota. Then it was a Mazda badged as a Toyota. Now it doesn’t exist.
