Following ford, both Chevrolet and buick are halting production of sedans. And building only SUV and CUV vehicles. Only sedans american automakers have are the Cadillac. Cars, or the dodge charger. 😣

I hope this SUV trend collapses in on itself

It will when the economy crashes again and the auto bubble bursts. People are financing completely RIDICULOUS amounts of money on crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. Longer loans than ever before offered, awful interest rates, all because they could "afford" the monthly payment.

What sucks is that these companies will be screwed if / when it happens. No one will be able to afford these things and they won't have any small cars to sell. So they'll rush a small car and we will end up with the DSP6 fiasco all over again.

Glad I have a FiST

I just saw the Durango 95/Probe 16 at the Petersen when I was down there this summer- it was so cool to see it in the flesh.

I dunno duders, it's a wierd world. Everyone wants SUV's and stuff. On the flip side, we've got (at least here) teslas are 2 out of every 5 cars around me, and all the chargers have long lines at them... nobody wants a small fun car other than the miata. I don't chalk buick up as much of a loss, I haven't cared about them since the grand national, but it IS another crack in the foundation of car culture. I have a feeling that car culture is dying a slow death, but a the same time, maybe it eventually should. I don't *want* electric cars, but it's hard to argue *against* cleaner vehicles. Not that we need to transition 100%, but if every car on the road was PZEV it'd be a huge step.







On the Durango 95 - I love old weird kit cars, like the Sterling GT
My brain knows its a vw, but my soul says "get one". My head says "you are 4" too tall"

We still have the Japanese, Koreans and Germans to get cars from.

But for how long though?. I have a feeling they might do the same eventually.

Nope never. I will bet my life on it I'm so sure. The Camry, Accord, Civic, and Corolla are going nowhere. BMW will never get rid of the 3 series. Mercedes not having a sedan no way.

They actually offered one of the last real 'estates' (station wagons) from ANY manufacturer, although I've never seen one on the road, why they are killing it off along with all of their sedans/one coupe, I guess. [:(]

I really liked it too. The interior was garbage typical GM. The price was fairly reasonable especially after discounts it had standard all wheel drive.

gonna parrot the same thoughts on the TourX. Interior was garbage, solid discounts and surprisingly decent to look at.

Buick survived the bailout era cuts because of the chinese market, itll be interesting to see what happens next

I looked hard for the Buick 2.0T with a 6 speed manual which I think is even more sleeper than this car. But it was really hard to find.

Hyundai/Kia has really been coming on strong.

I'm surprised the "Mustang" SUV hasn't been mentioned yet.

That god awful product of a syphilitic abortion due to a pygmy grudge Absolutely pure trash. It just shows how far ford....notice not even a capital F on ford for me anymore due to their frontal lobe stroke in their ability to listen to their consumers....total dumpster fire going down the river.

The fact that we still have "small" market, low volume items ranging from motorcycles to campers, I think means we'll always have at least one option for small, fun, maneuverable, vehicles that aren't *too* small to be useful. My hope is those that are left, will only get better... way better. Motorcycles for example have gotten really good. They're pricey, as much as cars in too many cases, but they're good. Last week I watched a guy take a corner in a cruiser at a speed that really surprised me. (I'm on a sport bike.)
