14 Cars Axed in 2012

4. Maybach

Reports of Daimler losing almost half-a-million for each Maybach sold, the ultra-luxury brand got the axe this year and was officially proclaimed dead. With the Type 57 priced from $376,300 to $416,200 while the Type 62 ranged from $427,700 to $467,600, Maybach models boasted a hefty price tag without a real selling point. Dealers were granted up to $100,000 in cash rebates to get rid of the remaining inventory this year.
