FOUR YEARS

Chevrolet Aveo 2011-15

How many left? 15,642 Stalled by Chevy’s withdrawal, the Aveo briefly sold in decent numbers before fading as fast as a Snapchat message.

Chevrolet Orlando 2011-15

How many left? 5504 One of Chevy’s better efforts, snuffed out by the brand’s withdrawal from the European market.

Chrysler Ypsilon 2011-15

How many left? 5561 Quirkily appealing little Lancia – for that is what it really was behind the Chrysler badge – but troubled.

Jeep Patriot 2007-11

How many left? 4660 Uncertain off-road, miserable on it, what with its Poundland-standard cabin plastics and yelling VW diesel engine.

MG Magnette 2011-15

How many left? Unknown Booted version of the MG6 hatch, badged with an ancient MG name in desperation. Handfuls sold.

Ssangyong Kyron 2006-10

How many left? 920 Good off-road, but felt like it was still there when returned to Tarmac. Later offered with five year, 250,000-mile warranty, but even that wasn’t enough to bolster its fortunes.

Smart Roadster

2003-07 How many left? 4043 Clever, roadgoing concept car whose frustrating transmission helped strangle sales.

Peugeot 1007

2005-09 How many left? 6053 Peugeot’s answer to… who knows what? It looked truncated, like its career in the UK market.

Cadillac BLS 2006-10

How many left? 421 Amazing that this one lasted as long as it did, but perhaps stocks took time to clear. A reskinned Saab 9-3, the BLS was unusual for being the only Cadillac not sold in the US, besides being built in Sweden and available with an Italian diesel engine. Nothing wrong with the international confection, but the BLS’S limited talents turned it into a cut-price Saab. Did the wagon version help? No.

Renault Laguna Coupé 2008-12

How many left? Unknown The existence stats are buried among Laguna hatches and wagons. But believe us: it’s rare.

Peugeot 407 Coupé 2006-10

How many left? Unknown Well-made, but not made for long. Survival stats unidentifiable among those for other variants.
