Bad news for car lovers! These models will get the ax in 2024

I collect cars, anything from classics to supercars. But my favorite is my 2012 MB SLS with the gull-wing doors. Well, I also love my 1946 Chevy Pickup and 1964 ½ Mustang … I love them all!
In 2022, most manufacturers cut at least one model that wasn’t bringing in cash. As more factory space goes into electric vehicles (EVs), it’s no wonder. Say so long to these cars. If you have one, you might want to keep it.
- Dodge Challenger & Charger: Except to see both back as EVs. The Charger EV will get up to 670 horsepower with all the upgrades. (For comparison, the Tesla Model S Plaid is 1,020 horsepower.)
- Chrysler 300: Chrysler’s EV isn’t coming till 2025 at the earliest. Looks like they’re going to have some free time.
- Ford Edge: The factory that makes these is going EV for the 2025 model year.
- Chevrolet Bolt EV: The $26,000 model (cheap by EV standards) uses old standards. Equinox is replacing it.
- Audi R8: Audi is retiring its flagship car after 15 years, and there’s no EVF replacement on the horizon.
- Kia Stinger: The $40,000 sedan just wasn’t popular enough.
- Maserati Ghibli: Another performance car being ushered out by an EV replacement in 2025.
- Mazda MX-30: An EV needs enough range to make it worth it, and this one only goes 100 miles between charges. Not enough for $34,000.
- Mercedes-Benz CLS: Lots of changes at Mercedes, with gas cars getting the boot.
- Nissan Maxima: No solid details yet, but I’d be shocked if there wasn’t an EV coming in its place.
- Audi TT: Go figure, small sports cars just aren’t that popular anymore.
