Dead and Gone: These Are The New Vehicles We Lost In 2016 [Video]
Ah, fall. The leaves have changed and are dropping to the ground below. Football is in full swing. Your kids get free candy just by walking around the neighborhood (and you can eat it after they go to bed). And another new model year of vehicles is taking over parking lot space at the local car stores.
But it’s a bit chilly. The leaves are slippery when wet. Baseball season has almost ended. And you’re suffering from a bellyache because ten bags of Skittles was just one too many.

- David Murilee Martin, These Toyota Vans were absolute garbage. As the labor even basic service cost 400% as much as servicing a VW Vanagon or American minivan. A skilled Toyota tech would take about 2.5 hours just to change the air cleaner. Also they also broke often, as they overheated and warped the engine and boiled the automatic transmission...

A lot of good cars on that list. Two shitty ones, but good otherwise.
The car model fallout can't happen fast enough. Keep going, OEMs - all the way to the bottom and see what survives. Too many models, too many sets of parts, too few buyers. What's wrong with this picture?
