[edit] Notes

  • Skipping model years 1943 through 1945 due to World War II is notwithstanding for the purposes of this list.
  • Volkswagen Beetle/New Beetle: discontinuous in major markets, though the "legacy" Beetle continued production for sale in Mexico.
  • The Mercury Monterey was reincarnated as a minivan.
  • Chrysler Town and Country was reincarnated as a station wagon in the 1980s, then as a minivan since 1990.
  • Nissan's Z-car was discontinued in 2000, and resumed production with the 350Z.
  • The GT-R continued as a model separate to the Skyline
  • The first Porsche Carrera GT was based on the 356 in the early 1960's, the second one was a LeMans Homologation model based on the 924, and the third Carrera GT was a bespoke supercar.
  • The Porsche Spider was reincarnated as an LMP2 Race Car
  • The Chevrolet Corvette might be misconstrued as discontiguous, due to the 1983 model year. As there were problems with the new model (C4), all but a couple of the 1983 vehicles were destroyed. The survivors currently reside in museums, especially the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky, out of private hands.
