Question of the Day: What's Your Forgotten Model?
It's my job to be as aware of the automotive industry as possible, but being human, I have only so much brain capacity.
With something like 330-ish new-car models on the market, I can't keep track of them all off the top of my head. Few can.
So I was a bit surprised today to remember that the Land Rover Discovery Sport was still around, and that Chevy had offered a rear-drive Blazer EV RS for precisely one year.
These had slipped below my radar.
Surely this has happened to you, too. Surely you've seen us cover a model update, or the death of a model, and said to yourself something like "they still made that? I thought it was discontinued years ago."
Or maybe you have an encyclopedic knowledge and can, from memory alone, name what is current and what's no longer for sale.
Whatever the case may be, you know what to do. Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I think thru the end of the year you can still in theory buy a 2025 Subaru Legacy sedan.
Nothing specific, but any 3-box four door sedan, compact, midsize, or fullsize, assembled by an American automaker. Everything is a truck, due to less-stringent government rules for trucks. They can't build a Chevy Nova, Ford Falcon, or Dodge Dart anymore, due to emissions, bumper, and other rules. Trucks are exempt due to offroad needs, though most only go offroad when they jump the mowstrip in front of a Target parking lot.
