Someone has come up with an article about the "10 Best Discontinued Cars" you can buy today.
Some issues. They mention how you shouldn't buy a Saturn because the brand is being axed. And then they go on to recommend two Pontiacs, which is another brand that is being axed. Uh, hello?
Second, five of the ten cars haven't ACTUALLY been discontinued, and it's not even known for sure whether they will be discontinued any time soon.
And then some issues with the individual models...
Lexus SC430
"The styling hasn't changed much since the 2002 debut, but this will remain a classy ride years into the future."
No it won't; it's rather catastrophically ugly and they only seem to be driven by middle-aged upper-middle class WASPs that are too tan and have more plastic than Lego.
Pontiac Solstice
"Critics ding the Solstice for a subpar interior, but you might be so delighted by the ride that you don't notice."
Even if you have the refined ride of a Rolls Royce or a Lexus, or the sporty handling of a Lotus Elise, if the interior is cheap then you will definitely notice. It's one thing to have a stripped, bare-minimum interior. It's another thing to have an interior with shiny, flimsy plastic with everything finished in gray.
Mercury Sable
I didn't think they still made this.
