I think that already falls under the Cavalier line generally, as does Pontiac Sunfire variant.

This. I've only seen 2 in the last 2-3 years out on the road. Before that was at the Dallas Auto Show years ago when it was released.

Somebody mentioned a Sterling? I saw this one back in March and it wasn't in bad shape.

I still see a few of those first-gen Auroras around, mostly driven by inbred welfare recipients now but I remember when they were new, my friend's dad (a lawyer) had one and it was the shit.

Why are people naming '80s cars?

I wouldn't expect cars coming close to 30+ years old on the road. And if it was made in low production numbers....

^ I figured the Cimarron was a stretch so I added the Alero as it was a decently popular car that has waned in numbers. I don't recall seeing one in months?

Isuzu Axiom? I remember when those came out...I didn't see them on the road then either...
I also don't see Subaru 2.5RS (I was going to buy one in 1999 but I couldn't afford it) yet I see that generation Outback Sports and plain Imprezas everywhere


and...I DO see a lot of Azteks in Philly for some reason...and the ones I see aren't even the AWD ones...

Seriously where do you guys live? If Costco reads this I'm sure he can verify I haven't seen/noticed many of these cars in months or longer.

A lot of these were middle class purchases that trickled down to Mexican ricers that trickled down to obsolescence.

Proof some of these ugly creatures still exist in the wild. I saw this one this morning and I've seen a yellow one a few times around town.

The same guy also had a Dodge Spirit, but the trans blew. His current car is actually not that common, a Foxbody (1989) Ford Mustang. And his is a 4-cylinder convertible , that actually overheated in a Burger King drive-thru and we had to push it out so other people could get their food

I still see those on the road all the time still, almost daily. I have a new appreciation for them after becoming a "Breaking Bad" fan.

Speaking of Yugo's I have a friend (he's Serbian) who owns 4 of them. All of them pristine. One is an all out race car and one is a Cabrio. They only made like 75 cabrios.
