ford-gt-gulf-livery-overhea.jpg

The folks over at BusinessWeek have compiled a list (and one of their inevitable slideshows) of 2006 model-year vehicles that are off to the Great Crusher In The Sky. Some of them we’ll miss dearly (Ford GT, Acura RSX, we’re looking in your direction), some we'll lament because of what could've been (Taurus, anyone?), and others... well... we'll hold the door open for on the way out.

BusinessWeek’s Euthanized List:

  • Ford GT
  • Ford Taurus
  • Hummer H1
  • Pontiac GTO
  • Dodge Stratus
  • Honda Insight
  • Acura RSX
  • Porsche Carrera GT
  • Volkswagen Phaeton
  • Saab 9-2x

By the by, BW seems to have forgotten to include at least a few cars, Suzuki’s Verona and Aerio SX, Pontiac's SV6, and Mazda's MPV. Such omissions ought to tell readers all they need to know about the aformentioned models' stature in the automotive world. Did BW miss anything else? Look over the list below, and feel free to leave any oversights, epitaphs, parting shots, or musings in “Comments.
