14 Cars Axed in 2012

5. Chevrolet Avalanche

With General Motors focusing on its next-generation of full-size pickups based on its new platform, the Avalanche will be a victim in the new lineup. Priced from $35,980, the Avalanche was quite popular when it first debuted, but sales declined over the subsequent years. High gas prices and the general availability of crew-cab trucks attributed to the Avalanche’s ultimate demise.
