Every year, car manufacturers decide to keep (or nix) cars from their lineup. We’ve seen some really great vehicles meet their end over the decades due to declining sales, shifting market trends, and other factors. There have been some cars being cut in recent years (or this year) that will be dearly missed. For car lovers like myself, this means a final opportunity to grab a piece of automotive history. You could own “one of the last” of any of these cars. But if you wait too long, you might find yourself overcome with regret for not buying one sooner. Which one of these five discontinued cars would you want?
1. Toyota GR Supra
The Toyota GR Supra is bowing out (again), with production ending in 2026. Co-developed with BMW and sharing DNA with the Z4, the Supra has been a fan favorite for its sleek design and turbocharged performance. But with the BMW partnership ending and sales slowing, Toyota is pulling the plug on this modern classic. The Final Edition is expected to be a collector’s item, especially among enthusiasts who missed the original Supra’s heyday. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning one, this is your last real shot.
2. Nissan GT-R R35
After nearly two decades of dominating the streets and tracks, the Nissan GT-R R35 is finally being retired. Known as “Godzilla” for its monstrous performance, the GT-R has become a legend in the sports car world. Its twin-turbo V6 and all-wheel drive system made it a giant killer, often outperforming cars twice its price. Nissan is moving toward electrification, and the next GT-R will likely be a very different beast. If you want the raw, analog thrill of the R35, now’s the time to grab one before it disappears.
3. Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is one of the most thrilling sedans ever made, and it’s being discontinued after the 2024 model year. With a Ferrari-derived V6 engine and razor-sharp handling, it’s a driver’s dream wrapped in Italian style. Unfortunately, slow sales and shifting priorities at Stellantis have sealed its fate. This car never got the mainstream love it deserved, which makes it even more appealing to collectors. If you want a sedan that stirs the soul, don’t let this one slip away.
4. Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster (Gas Models)
Porsche is phasing out the gas-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster as it transitions to an all-electric future. These mid-engine sports cars offer one of the purest driving experiences on the market. Lightweight, balanced, and beautifully engineered, they’ve long been the go-to for enthusiasts who want Porsche performance without the 911 price tag. The electric replacements are coming, but they won’t deliver the same visceral feel. If you crave the sound of a flat-four or flat-six behind your ears, act fast.
5. Dodge Charger (Gasoline Version)
The iconic Dodge Charger is being reimagined as an electric muscle car, and the gas-powered version is on its way out. Love it or hate it, the Charger has been a symbol of American muscle for decades. Its aggressive styling, rumbling V8s, and rear-wheel-drive fun made it a standout in a sea of sedans. The new EV version may be fast, but it won’t have the same growl or attitude. If you want the classic Charger experience, this is your last lap.
Don’t Let Regret Be Your Co-Pilot
Discontinued cars often become cult classics, and their value tends to rise once they’re gone. Whether you’re a collector, a weekend warrior, or just someone who appreciates great engineering, these models represent the end of an era. Waiting too long could mean missing out or paying a premium on the used market. If any of these cars have been on your radar, now’s the time to make your move. Because once they’re gone, they’re gone for good… and you’ll be left wondering what could’ve been.
