Cars are – surprise, surprise – slowly but surely fading away from our new car automotive marketplace,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst at vehicle-shopping site iSeeCars. “If you are a car fan or you’re nostalgic for cars, then it’s a little depressing, but there’s just no denying the reality in terms of market demand.”

Vehicles discontinued in 2020 posted sales of nearly 559,000 units in 2019, representing fewer than 1 in 20 models sold in the U.S., according to car-research site Edmunds. That was down from 1.02 million in 2013.

Here are some of the major vehicles discontinued in 2020:

1. Chevrolet Sonic
When it came out nearly a decade ago, the Chevy Sonic was billed as an example of Detroit’s ability to make small and youthful cars. GM featured the subcompact car in a 2012 Super Bowl commercial in a skydiving stunt to the tune of the band Fun’s song “We Are Young.”

2. Toyota Yaris
Both the hatchback and sedan versions of the Toyota Yaris are going away after the 2020 model year. Toyota remains committed to more-popular passenger cars like the midsize Camry and compact Corolla. But Toyota has been paring down its lineup of small cars for several years. The company discontinued its Scion brand in 2016 and recently discontinued the Prius C, a smaller version of the main Prius hybrid.

3. Honda Fit
Talk about fading away in the night. The Honda Fit was often hailed as symbolic of Honda’s ability to appeal to younger buyers. But the car was discontinued quietly in 2020, placing it in the same boat as the Yaris and Sonic. They are simply the latest in a series of subcompact cars that have been eliminated in recent years, including the Ford Fiesta and Fiat 500.

4. Acura RLX

5.Ford Mustang Shelby GT350/GT350R

6. Honda Civic Coupe

7. Jaguar XE

8. Lexus GS

9. Lincoln MKZ
