A last salute to the models that are in 2015 no longer can be ordered.

Almost every Chevrolet

On sportschoolknaapjes as the Corvette after disappear all of the models from the bowtie brand from Europe. So say goodbye to the Sparks, Aveo’s, and all the other conversion-Koreans. They go to Opel – that other daughter of General Motors – no longer for the foot to walk.

Honda CR-Z Hybrid

After four unsuccessful years stopped Honda this year with the CR-Z in the Netherlands. Although he is the original CRX never knew how to approach, there was a huge advantage to this car: for any CR-Z on yellow plates was a Prius, less sold. RIP.

Peugeot 807

In 2003, there were in our country still 683 sold, this year not even a handful. This is logical, because why would you this perennial people mover still consider if Renault just got a brand new Espace from the he has done? That we arrive in 2015, not more at the dealer, on what remains after.

Suzuki Alto

Iconic, something else we can the Alto do not call. The Japannertje is reliable, cheap, useful as a first car, handy to learn to drive & convenient for all your local ram-raiding. The end, however, and in 2015 it is followed by the Celerio.

Abarth Grande Punto

Because Fiat is only concerned with the 500 and its numerous variants is the Grande Punto Abarth is no longer desirable in the showrooms.

Volkswagen Jetta

A fresh Jetta order is no longer possible. The Golf-with-badonkadonk is only available from stock.

Jaguar XK

Because all spotlights on the F-Type focused, blows the XK after almost 20 years of faithful service, the retreat. Goodbye, you glorious coupéreus.

Suzuki Kizashi

18-inch alloy wheels, a sports suspension, xenon headlights, sliding/tilting roof, parking sensors, rain sensor, privacy glass, leather trim, radio/CD/MP3 with 5 speakers & subwoofers, USB and Bluetooth, dual zone climate control, 7 airbags, cruise control, 10-way power adjustable passenger seat, up / down shifters on the steering wheel (CVT), heated front seats and metallic paint. Just a few of the standard options on the Suzuki Kizashi. But in the Netherlands, the model was not on the paving stones to wear off. Not even after a significant price reduction. Well, an atmospheric 2.4-litre four-cylinder (178 hp) with CVT may here well once no pots to break. Here counts only the additional tax liability.

And needless to say: also all Lancia operations outside of Italy will be discontinued.
