It's time to mourn the vehicles whose time has come and gone and that are about to enter the automotive afterlife for the 2023 model year.
Acura ILX
Never like the Acura Integra that it replaced, the ILX always seemed like a pretender to the throne. A half-hearted effort on Acura's part dating to 2013, the Acura Integra thankfully takes its slot for 2023.
Honda
Buick Encore
Seemingly, there will be no encore for the Encore, a diminutive subcompact SUV that once accounted for half of Buick's U.S. sales. Now it's outsold nearly 3-to-1 by the larger, cheaper Encore GX.
Buick
Lamborghini Aventador
Still sexy despite its age, this is the last year for this 12-cylinder supercar, which will replaced by an electrified model within a couple years. While it will be good, it won't be the same.
Lamborghini
Mercedes-Benz A-Class
This was Mercedes-Benz's least expensive model in 2022, starting at less than $34,000. That honor now falls to the GLA crossover, at less than $37,000.
Daimler AG
Volkswagen Passat
This American-built Passat bore little resemblance to its European counterpart, with little character or superb handling. Unsullied and faultlessly ordinary, it never captured the imagination.
Volkswagen
Jeep Grand Cherokee WK
The old version of the Grand Cherokee stuck around as a lower cost alternative to its newer sibling. But the new one is so good, who wants the old one?
Ram ProMaster City
This one always looked kind of odd for a Ram, and that's because it's really Fiat Doblo cargo van. Yet its sales seemed solid, so its demise may mean something better is about to arrive.
