R.I.P. to 14 car and truck models for 2012

A couple of those are a shock.

Not a lot there I will miss.

I agree, with the exception of the Ranger they're all cars I'd never consider buying. Honestly I'd never pay what Ford wanted for a new Ranger.

The Ranger that Ford is selling in other countries seems to be successful, there's no way it would here in the US, but the Ranger name still exist outside the US.

Re: R.I.P. Ranger

No more Ranger

The fact that there will be no more Rangers is what really bums me....they're pretty popular outside the US. I saw one in Seychelles while on deployment:

Dodge Dakota? good, get that garbage outta here. most poorly designed vehicle ive ever worked with
Not being Biased. never worked on a full size dodge. but the Dak...UGH.

1 or 2 of those I didn't think existed at the moment.

Actually a rebadged Mazda B-Series.

In the US, the Mazdas are rebadged Rangers!

Kinda surprising for the Ranger. Its one of a few trucks that I still considered "compact". Glad to see the Dakota go. It has just been getting too big. With today's prices, you can buy a full-size for the same price or just a little more than a compact/mid-size.

Before Mazda get out of the Brazilian market in 2001 both were available back here. I must confess I prefer the Mazda B-Series from those years over the Ranger...
