Auto Models Driving Off Into the Sunset
It may be true that there’s a time and a place for everything, but that doesn’t necessarily apply to the problem of parking one’s car! But this year it will be a little easier. That’s because the auto industry is cutting the following models from their assembly lines:
Honda Accord Hybrid: Turns out that there were cheaper, non-hybrid cars that got more MPG!
Jaguar X-Type Wagon: Is there any other automotive brand that goes less well with the term “wagon”?
Ford Mercury Montego: Most drivers didn’t even know this model existed (although it is being re-launched as the “Sable”).
Chrysler Pacifica: A minivan as exciting as the Long Island Expressway on Friday at 5:00 PM before a three-day holiday weekend.
Hummer H1: The ultimate symbol of the worst of American wretched excess.
And so, we bid farewell to these ill-conceived automotive brands. And though they may not be missed, it is worth remembering that everything in life is somewhere else, and you can usually get there in a car.
