I could have attached this to the EV thread, since most of these are being ditched so that manufacturers can "retool" for electric vehicle models. I hope Trump's policies on fossil fuels will put an end to some of the nonsense. Discontinued Models 2025 Volvo S60 Subaru Legacy Dodge Ram 1500 Classic Nissan Titan Nissan GT-R Mini Clubman Mitsubishi Mirage Jaguar F-Type Infiniti Q50 Ford Escape Ford Edge Chevrolet Malibu Chevrolet Camaro Cadillac XT4 (I just bought one of these--was told it is Cadillac's 2nd best seller. Yeah, makes perfect sense.) Audi A60 Models Discontinued For 2026 Nissan Altima Nissan Versa Porsche 718 Boxster Porsche 718 Cayman Porsche Macan (gas-powered) Nissan seems to be taking hits on models that I always considered fairly popular vehicles (Titan, Altima, Versa). But what do I know.
Get rid of the Federal subsidies. As Kennedy said, get rid of the corruption and the agency implodes on itself.
Now there's an idea! I was reading on the Cadillac Forum that GM offers a $1500 subsidy to EV buyers to have a charging plug installed at your house. We all know that GM isn't paying that subsidy.
Volts were (are?) leasing in Colorado for $29/month because of subsidies. It's like someone paying you to drive.
Hah. Did you know that there is a "lease pass-through provision" that allows the $7500 Federal subsidy even for models that have already reclaimed the maximum number of those tax credits on sales? Ahh, leasing. The short-sighted nuttiness that says "I want more car than I can afford, to the Devil with how it hurts me financially." Yeah, let's encourage that nonsense.
Honestly, leasing might be the smartest way to go with the new "computers on wheels" that will be obsolete or cost a fortune to keep updated in a few years.
