Do you love cars? we want to talk about some cars that would soon disappear. The 2016 model year is well under way, which means two things:
buyers who play their cards right can get a generous discount on one of
the last remaining 2015 models, and there are a handful of cars that are preparing to make the jump from the buyer’s guide to the history book.
We’ve singled out ten cars that aren’t sticking around for the 2016 model year. There are a couple that have already been replaced, a few that we’ll miss, and a handful that we’re frankly happy to say goodbye to.
Chevrolet Volt (first generation)
Fitted with a fuel-sipping gasoline-electric hybrid
drivetrain, the first-generation Volt remains one of the most
controversial – and important – models Chevrolet has ever launched.
While it turned out to be a big success for the Bowtie, few would have
been surprised to see it end up as an also-ran relegated to the
sidelines of the automotive landscape. Anyone with access to a news
outlet will remember that all was not well in Detroit when Chevrolet was
designing the Volt.
To say that the new 2016 Volt has
big shoes to fill is an understatement. To ensure it tops its
predecessor, Chevrolet has built the second-generation model on a brand
new platform designed specifically to underpin hybrids, and it has
fitted it with a more efficient drivetrain that can run on electricity
alone for about 50 miles.
Honda Civic (ninth generation)
The monumentally important tenth-gen model that debuted recently promises to make up for its predecessor’s shortcomings with an upscale design, a well-built interior, and a palette of state-of-the art tech features. As a bonus, we hear the next tire-shredding Type R will finally be sold in the United States.

Infiniti Q40
The Q40’s time has finally come; the 2015 model year will be its last. Its spot at the bottom of the Infiniti lineup will soon be filled by a small hatchback dubbed Q30 that was presented earlier this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Built on the same front-wheel drive platform as the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the Q30 is scheduled to land in showrooms next year.

Land Rover LR2
The LR2 has already been replaced by the Discovery Sport. Bigger and more luxurious than its predecessor, the Sport is the only model in its segment to offer space for seven passengers – and the winner of Digital Trends’ first SUV of the year award.
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe
Presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the all-new 2017 C63 now falls under the Mercedes-AMG banner. While it surfs the industry’s downsizing wave with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, it’s more powerful, faster, and more driver-focused than its big-bore predecessor.
