3 Car Brands That probably Won’t Make It to 2030
The auto industry is in a shake-up era. With shifting consumer tastes, sticky inflation, and the messy EV transition all colliding at once, several car brands are dangerously close to being pushed out of the U.S. market. And that’s before we even take tariffs into consideration.
We’re taking a close look at three brands with unvertain futures: Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, and Maserati. These three endangered brands all fall under the Stellantis umbrella, along with 11 other car brands. But it doesn’t end there. We’ll also explain why Nissan is in trouble, even if it has a bit more breathing room than the others.
“This is survival of the fittest,” says CarEdge Co-Founder and industry veteran Ray Shefska. “If you don’t have scale, domestic manufacturing, or a clear product roadmap, you’re on thin ice.”
Let’s take a look at how three car brands in peril are faring, and how a fourth might not be far behind.
Chrysler: Down to One Model
Chrysler is clinging to a single model: the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. With the Chrysler 300 gone and no other gas-powered vehicles left, the brand’s entire future hinges on a vague promise to go all-electric by 2028.
The problem? There’s no clear plan. The Chrysler Airflow concept has been put on hold indefinitely. No Chrysler EVs are in showrooms, and electric sales are stagnating in the U.S. It’s unclear if parent company Stellantis has noticed that consumers aren’t exactly rushing out to buy an electric minivan.
Ray explains:
“You can’t put all your chips on one vehicle, especially in a niche market. The Pacifica is great, but it’s not going to save Chrysler on its own. It remains to be seen if Chrysler has a game plan for beyond 2026. Right now it’s all speculation.”
Why Chrysler’s Future Looks Shaky
- Chrysler sales rely entirely on one model, the Pacifica minivan.
- Any legacy car brand having an all-electric future is looking less likely.
- Brand identity is murky: is Chrysler even a luxury brand anymore?
Unless Stellantis delivers a compelling lineup fast, Chrysler may fade into irrelevance before it gets the chance to reinvent itself. We wouldn’t be surprised to see the Pacifica join the Dodge family to clear the path for sunsetting the Chrysler brand.
Maserati: A Luxury Brand Bleeding Money
Maserati is supposed to be Stellantis’ crown jewel. But in 2025, it’s looking more like a financial anchor.
Here’s how bad it is:
- Global sales fell 58% in one year (from 26,600 in 2023 to just 11,300 in 2024).
- Operating losses exceeded $260 million last year.
- Stellantis wrote off $1.6 billion in canceled EV projects tied to the brand.
And there’s no cavalry coming. No new models are scheduled until mid-2026, and existing vehicles like the Grecale and MC20 aren’t selling in meaningful numbers.
Ray’s take:
“If Maserati weren’t a luxury badge, it probably would’ve been shut down already. But even brand equity can only buy so much time.”
If Stellantis can’t find a buyer — or a miracle — Maserati’s exit from the U.S. might be a matter of when, not if.
Alfa Romeo: Shrinking Sales, No U.S. Plan
After returning to the United States in 2014 following a 20-year absence, the brand has seen its fair share of struggles. U.S. sales are in steep decline, and new models have failed to turn things around. After peaking at over 18,000 units in 2021, Alfa Romeo’s U.S. sales dropped to just 8,868 in 2024.
There’s no new product pipeline for the U.S., and dealers are struggling to move inventory. Dealers are packed with 208 days of market supply as of July 2025. Giulia and Stelvio sales continue to slide, and the brand’s market share has fallen to well under 1% of the American car market. Meanwhile, parent company Stellantis is undergoing a strategic review of Alfa Romeo amid financial losses and big ambitions for a turnaround.
Ray Shefska puts it bluntly:
“Alfa Romeo’s a brand with no clear future in the U.S. If the next model isn’t a hit, it could quietly vanish from this market.”
Why Alfa Romeo Is at Risk
- U.S. sales dropped from 18,252 in 2021 to just 8,865 in all of 2024.
- Giulia and Stelvio sales fell further in 2025, despite being top models.
- The Tonale became Alfa Romeo’s top U.S. seller, yet still declined 28%.
- Stellantis posted a $2.7 billion loss in H1 2025, and is likely reviewing Alfa Romeo’s future.
We can’t count Alfa Romeo out just yet, but it’s not looking good for the brand’s future in North America.
Nissan’s Still Here: Challenges Remain
Nissan isn’t in immediate danger of disappearing from the U.S. market, but there’s no denying the brand is struggling.
Recent signs of trouble:
- Nissan posted a $4.5 billion net loss in 2024.
- 20,000 jobs were cut as restructuring continues.
- Nissan’s first overseas plant is being shuttered by 2027.
- Once-popular models like the Altima and Versa are being discontinued after this year.
- Tariffs and supply chain issues continue to disrupt production in Mexico.
That said, Nissan is still a volume player with global scale and a decent EV head start. The Ariya and LEAF haven’t set the world on fire, but Nissan’s investments in product refreshes and future battery tech could help it turn a corner — if it survives the next few years.
Can Nissan Recover?
Nissan’s global footprint gives it some flexibility, and its strong brand recognition in the U.S. still holds value. However, to stay relevant, the automaker needs a bold strategy to reclaim leadership in the years to come.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
If you’re shopping one of these brands, resale value and long-term support should be front of mind. Vehicles from discontinued brands often take a resale hit and may be harder to maintain over time. Take a look at today’s resale values for the Pontiac, Saturn, and Oldsmobile brands, for example.
That said, it’s not all bad news. Struggling brands often see heavy discounts at the dealership, especially if inventory builds up. Be sure to stay on top of the latest deals of the month with CarEdge’s Deal Hub.

The Fastest and Slowest Selling SUVs in August 2025
It’s true that SUVs have taken over the car market in recent years, but not all are hot sellers. In fact, the gap between the fastest and slowest-selling models is growing. In 2025, some SUVs and crossovers are being scooped up as soon as they hit the lot, while others are sitting unsold for more than six months. Whether you’re a buyer looking for a great deal or a seller trying to time the market, understanding which SUVs are moving (or not) is essential.
We analyzed August car market data to find the SUVs with the lowest and highest market day supply (MDS). MDS is a measure of how many days it would take to sell through current inventory at the current sales pace. Here are the winners and losers in 2025’s SUV market.
Top 10: The Fastest-Selling SUVs Right Now
These are the SUVs and crossovers with the lowest market day supply as of August 2025. That means they’re in high demand right now, and are likely harder to negotiate on due to limited availability.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | Total Sold (45 days) | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota | Corolla Cross | 22 | 9,443 | 18,965 | $31,181 |
| Toyota | Sienna | 28 | 9,572 | 15,344 | $51,591 |
| Toyota | Sequoia | 28 | 3,348 | 5,325 | $83,490 |
| Lexus | RX Hybrid | 28 | 2,511 | 4,085 | $63,083 |
| Toyota | Highlander | 30 | 5,470 | 8,172 | $52,052 |
| Lexus | NX Hybrid | 31 | 2,750 | 3,962 | $54,654 |
| GMC | Yukon | 32 | 4,373 | 6,126 | $87,674 |
| Honda | Odyssey | 34 | 5,654 | 7,574 | $46,334 |
| Toyota | RAV4 | 36 | 56,325 | 69,950 | $37,540 |
| Acura | ZDX | 36 | 1,217 | 1,501 | $68,906 |
Source: CarEdge Pro
Toyota’s reputation for reliability, fuel efficiency, and value continues to drive strong demand for Toyota SUVs like the Corolla Cross, Sienna, and Sequoia. Seven of the 10 fastest-selling SUVs in 2025 are Toyota or Lexus models. Lexus joins the mix with the RX and NX Hybrids, two compact options that luxury buyers love. GMC’s Yukon is the only ‘Detroit Big Three’ SUV on the list this month.
Bottom 10: The Slowest-Selling SUVs in 2025
These SUVs have the highest market day supply, which means they’re sitting unsold for longer. Buyers may be able to score better deals on these slowest-selling SUVs in August, especially with this new AI negotiator doing the work for you.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | Total Sold (45 days) | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jaguar | F-PACE | 310 | 2,751 | 399 | $69,742 |
| Dodge | Hornet | 271 | 2,911 | 484 | $36,536 |
| Maserati | Grecale | 258 | 631 | 110 | $79,872 |
| Ford | Mustang Mach-E | 239 | 22,597 | 4,247 | $48,656 |
| Infiniti | QX55 | 210 | 936 | 201 | $53,990 |
| Nissan | Murano | 189 | 20,164 | 4,797 | $47,020 |
| BMW | X2 | 185 | 1,238 | 301 | $52,596 |
| Kia | EV6 | 184 | 4,613 | 1,128 | $50,536 |
| Alfa Romeo | Stelvio | 180 | 842 | 210 | $56,239 |
| Audi | Q5 | 179 | 7,566 | 1,898 | $56,305 |
Source: CarEdge Pro
Many of these models fall into EV or luxury segments where buyer demand is softer in 2025. Jaguar’s F-PACE is the slowest-selling SUV today. Surprisingly, just three Stellantis models are in the bottom 10. The Ford Mustang Mach-E stands out as an electric SUV with sluggish sales despite aggressive incentives. There’s a lot more competition in the electric crossover segment, and Ford is struggling to keep up with hot sellers from GM, Hyundai, and Tesla.
For any of these slow-selling SUVs, prices will be more flexible if you come equipped with negotiation know-how.
What This Means For SUV Shoppers
If you’re looking for a deal, start with the slowest sellers this month. High inventory levels mean dealers are likely motivated to talk pricing if you negotiate with confidence. It’s always best to take a look at the best incentives of the month, too.
“If you’re shopping for a slow-selling SUV, the ball is in your court,” says auto industry veteran Ray Shefska. “Dealers know those vehicles aren’t moving, and that gives you the upper hand in price negotiations.”
Shopping Toyota, Honda, or Lexus? Expect tighter inventory and less room for negotiation. You may need to move quickly if you find the right trim. However, this is no reason to pay for unwanted add-ons or dealer markups!
Thinking about EVs? There are some good deals out there, but know what you’re getting into. EVs like the Mustang Mach-E might feature great incentives, but they also depreciate quickly. Unless you know you’ll be keeping your EV for several years, leasing is the smarter choice.

The Fastest and Slowest Selling Trucks in 2025
Not all trucks fly off the lot. In fact, the gap between the fastest and slowest-selling pickups is wider than ever in 2025. With some trucks selling in just over a month, and others sitting unsold for over six months, knowing what’s hot (and what’s not) can make or break your next deal.
That’s why understanding Market Day Supply (MDS) is more important than ever for anyone buying or selling a truck in 2025. At CarEdge, we used real-time inventory and sales data to identify the fastest- and slowest-selling trucks in August 2025.
MDS tells us how long it would take to sell all the current inventory of a particular model at the current sales pace, assuming no new units are added. A low MDS means a truck is selling quickly. A high MDS, on the other hand, signals oversupply, and that can mean buyers have more leverage at the dealership.
Whether you’re buying new or considering a trade-in, here’s what the latest market data from CarEdge Pro reveals about the best-selling and worst-selling trucks in America.
The 10 Fastest-Selling Trucks in August 2025
These trucks are in high demand and selling quickly. But if you’re hoping to negotiate a deal on one of these, don’t count on much wiggle room unless you work with a pro.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | Total Sold (45-days) | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota | Tundra | 36 | 22,749 | 28,471 | $62,618 |
| Toyota | Tacoma | 61 | 65,840 | 48,478 | $46,065 |
| Chevrolet | Silverado 2500HD | 80 | 25,290 | 14,257 | $65,316 |
| Ford | Maverick | 82 | 26,332 | 14,392 | $32,780 |

The Toyota Tundra is the fastest-selling pickup truck in August 2025. On average, the Tundra sits on the lot for just one month before finding a buyer. Toyota’s Tacoma is in second place, with trucks from GM, Ford, and Ram far behind.
The 10 Slowest-Selling Trucks in August 2025
On the flip side, these trucks are struggling to move. Some of these trucks are taking more than six months to sell on average. If you’re in the market, these pickup trucks offer room for negotiation, especially with DIY market insights.
| Make | Model | Market Day Supply | Total For Sale | Total Sold (45 days) | Average Selling Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ram | Ram 2500 | 200 | 31,729 | 7,149 | $63,370 |
| GMC | Sierra EV | 196 | 3,707 | 853 | $92,215 |

The Ram 2500 is the slowest-selling truck in America right now. However, electric pickup trucks are in second and third place as buyers struggle to make the switch to EVs. Sellers can expect these slow-selling trucks to sit on the lot for at least four months, but this creates great chances to negotiate savings for buyers.

What Is a Car Concierge? Understanding Car Buying Services and How They Work
Buying a car doesn’t have to mean spending weekends at dealerships or stressing over sales tactics. If you’re looking for a hassle-free, professional way to purchase your next vehicle, car buying services, also known as car concierges, might be exactly what you need.
These services take care of the entire car buying process for you, from sourcing vehicles to negotiating prices and coordinating delivery. In this guide, we’ll explain exactly how car buying services work, what they offer, and why so many drivers choose to use one.
What Is a Car Buying Service?
A car buying service, also known as a car concierge, is a professional service that simplifies the car buying process by doing the work for you. Whether you’re buying new or used, a concierge can help you find your ideal vehicle, negotiate the best price, and manage the paperwork and delivery.
Think of it as a personal assistant for buying a car — one that knows the auto industry inside and out and advocates for your best deal.
“If your car buying service seems too complicated, they’re doing something wrong. The best in the business are easy to understand and navigate.”
— CarEdge Team
What Does a Car Concierge Do?
Car buying services provide an all-in-one solution for shoppers who want to save time, money, and stress. Here’s what a top-tier car buying concierge will offer:
Vehicle Sourcing
A concierge begins by learning your exact preferences — make, model, trim, color, features, budget, and timeline.
- Comprehensive Search: They scour the market using dealer connections, auction access, and private seller networks.
- Off-Market Listings: Great concierges can find vehicles that aren’t even listed yet, including hard-to-find models.
Price Negotiation
This is where the concierge adds serious value.
- Expert Negotiation: Concierges know how to cut through dealer tactics and fight for a fair out-the-door price — no hidden fees or add-ons.
- Real-Time Market Tools: With tools like CarEdge Pro, concierges leverage pricing and inventory data to maximize your savings.
Trade-In Assistance
Already own a vehicle? No problem.
- Evaluation Help: Your concierge will assess your current vehicle and shop it around to get you the best possible trade-in value.
- Streamlined process: They’ll handle all the paperwork so you can focus on your next car.
Delivery and Paperwork
Once the deal is done, the concierge arranges delivery and ensures everything’s finalized.
- Home Delivery: Most services can deliver the car directly to your driveway.
- Convenient Pickup Option: Prefer to pick it up from a dealership? That’s possible too.
- Title and Registration: Concierges make sure all documents are completed accurately and on time.
How Car Buying Services Work: Step-by-Step
Curious how it all comes together? Here’s what the car concierge process typically looks like:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a quick consultation — by phone, email, or chat. You’ll share your goals, budget, preferences, and trade-in situation. Most services charge a flat fee between $1,000 and $3,000, sometimes with additional delivery charges.
Step 2: Vehicle Search and Shortlisting
The concierge searches the market and presents you with a handpicked list of vehicles that match your criteria.
- Expect detailed descriptions and real-time pricing info.
- Many concierges will share how negotiable each listing is based on current market conditions.
Step 3: Price Negotiation and Approval
Once you pick your top choice, the concierge gets to work negotiating.
- They’ll handle dealer communications and send updates.
- Nothing is finalized without your green light. You remain in full control.
Step 4: Delivery and Completion
With the deal locked in, your concierge arranges delivery or pickup, manages the paperwork, and ensures a smooth, painless handoff.
- Typical delivery cost: $1.30–$1.75 per mile based on distance.
Benefits of Using a Car Buying Concierge
Wondering if a car buying service is worth it? Here are some of the top reasons drivers turn to a concierge:
🕒 Time Savings
Skip the dealership entirely. You don’t have to browse endless listings, haggle with salespeople, or worry about paperwork. Your concierge handles everything.
💰 Better Deals
Concierges negotiate every day and know what’s fair — and what’s not. Many customers end up saving more than the cost of the service.
😌 Stress-Free Experience
Buying a car can be overwhelming. A concierge makes it easy, clear, and confidence-inspiring. No pressure, no games.
Who Should Use a Car Buying Service?
Car concierges are perfect for:
- First-time car buyers who want guidance and expert support
- Busy professionals with no time to shop or negotiate
- Out-of-state buyers looking for rare or specific vehicles
- Anyone tired of dealership pressure and hidden fees

15 Cars Being Discontinued in 2026
Another year, another batch of cars driving off into the sunset. As automakers shift toward electrification and trim unprofitable models, 2026 will bring a surprising number of cancellations. Longtime favorites like the Nissan Altima, Ford Escape, and Cadillac XT5 will be gone in 2026, despite continuing to sell in decent volume. Whether you’re a fan of affordable sedans or luxury crossovers, you’ll want to take note of what’s leaving the showroom floor for good.
Here are all the cars, crossovers, and SUVs confirmed to be discontinued in the U.S. in 2026.
In case you missed it: All the cars being cancelled in 2025.
BMW X4
BMW quietly discontinued the X4, with just one hundred leftover 2025 models remaining in America.
Cadillac XT6
The XT6 will end production even sooner, with 2025 marking its final model year. Cadillac’s three-row luxury SUV has never been a huge standout in the segment, and it’s being phased out as GM prepares to scale up EV production across its brands.
Ford Escape
One of Ford’s top-selling models over the past two decades, the Escape is reaching the end of the road. According to reporting from Ford Authority, production will end after the 2025 model year. The Louisville Assembly plant that manufactures the Escape will be retooled for a new electric model.

Infiniti QX50 and QX55
Nissan’s luxury brand is slipping, and these models are now gone.
Kia Soul
After 17 years in the game, the Kia Soul has been discontinued for 2026. It’s one of the last truly affordable crossovers out there.
Lexus RC
The 2025 RC F Final Edition delivered a powerful shot of adrenaline, but the RC is now out of production.
Nissan Altima
Another sedan bites the dust. The Altima, once a darling of the mid-2000s, will be discontinued in 2026 as Nissan restructures its lineup and refocuses on more profitable segments. After retiring the Maxima last year, the Altima’s demise reflects Nissan’s move away from sedans.
See local Altima listings with price insights
Nissan Ariya
The Ariya failed to win over EV fans, largely due to the flood of competing electric crossovers with more competitive pricing. In 2026, the all-new Nissan LEAF will replace the Ariya in the lineup.
Nissan Versa
In 2025, the Versa holds the title of America’s last new car under $20,000. But that affordability wasn’t enough to keep it alive. The Versa will be discontinued in 2026 due to low profit margins and dwindling demand for budget sedans. It’s a sad sign of the times: affordable new cars are becoming extinct.

Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman
Say goodbye to Porsche’s iconic soft-top roadster. The 718 Boxster is being phased out after 2025, making room for an all-electric successor in the coming years. Like its drop-top sibling, the Cayman will also exit the lineup.

Porsche Macan (Gas-Powered)
While the new Macan EV is already a hit, the gas-powered Macan is on its way out. The gas variant will be discontinued after 2025 as Porsche pushes for an all-electric lineup by the end of the decade. With Taycan sales dwindling, it’s not clear if that goal will hold up much longer.
Browse Porsche Macan listings today
Subaru Legacy
The final car was built on Sept 12, 2025; there’s no 2026 model. However 2,500 new 2025 models remain unsold as of late December.
Toyota GR Supra
Toyota has confirmed that the current-generation Supra will end production in 2026. While it may return one day, Toyota fans will face a gap in production before a next-generation version appears. For now, the Supra nameplate is heading back into the vault.
See Toyota Supra listings in your city
Volvo S90
Due to the ongoing global trade conflict and rising tariffs, Volvo has decided to end U.S. sales of the European-built S90 sedan. This marks the end of a premium, understated luxury car that struggled to find a large audience in America.

Cancelled, Sort Of: Audi A4
After a long and respected run, the Audi A4 is technically being retired in favor of newer electrified and performance-focused offerings. However, Audi says its spirit will live on in the Audi A5. Audi has simply decided to change their naming convention, and will now reserve even numbers for EVs. We’re not sure if name changes will be enough to lure in buyers, but we’ll see!

What To Do If You’re Considering a Car Planned For Cancellation
If you’re thinking about buying one of the models listed above, the good news is that you’ve got time to act. The cars and SUVs above will be on dealership lots through most of 2026. The bad news is that once these 2026 models are sold, they’ll be gone forever. Want help negotiating a great deal before these disappear? That’s what we’re here for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cars being discontinued globally or just in the U.S.?
A: Most of the vehicles listed above are being dropped from the U.S. market. Some may continue in other countries, especially where sedans are still in demand. For example, the Volvo S90 and the overseas equivalents of Nissan’s sedans will continue to be sold in Mexico, Asia, and beyond.
Q: Why are so many sedans and budget cars being discontinued?
A: profitability. Automakers make more money on crossovers, SUVs, and EVs. As sedan sales fall and costs rise, entry-level cars like the Versa are increasingly unviable.
Q: Can I still get a deal on a discontinued car?
A: Yes. As dealers try to move the last of their inventory, prices often become more negotiable. Tools like CarEdge Pro can help you spot these opportunities.
Q: What’s replacing these models?
A: In most cases, they’re being replaced by EVs or not replaced at all. For example, the gas-powered Macan is being succeeded by the Macan EV, while others like the Altima and Versa are simply ending with no direct replacement.
