14 Cars Axed in 2012

10. Mitsubishi Eclipse

The Mitsubishi Eclipse sports car had a fantastic run, but its 22-year production ended at the end of 2011, marking 2012 the first year that a new Eclipse didn’t roll off the assembly line. It was the best-selling Japanese sports car in the last 20 years with over 980,000 units sold. Priced under $20,000, the Eclipse was an affordable sports car for automotive enthusiasts, though its last-generation model could be debated if it was really a sports car at all.
