Although not being discontinued, the G80 M3 does appear to be the victim of a horrible accident.

Mazda recently axed the 6 for the US for 2022.

The Passat is getting the axe as well.

Volkswagen to end U.S. production, sales of Passat as focuses on SUVs

We bought a 2013 V6 DSG in 2015, and although I don't drive it often myself and are replacing it soon, all around it's been the best, most comfortable and reliable car we've owned.

Kia Stinger will be discontinued Q2 2022.

I'm shocked, I thought they were selling well.

ive always heard they didn't sell as well as kia hoped, especially with as many people that kept asking for fast sporty sedans...

^ Few people actually want these stupid big SUV / crossover models, but some numb-nut in car planning decided it was the future and then manufacturers started pushing them on the public with little other choice. :(

The same is happening with electric cars, although that's largely due to government enforcement to keep the Greenies happy (despite the fact that electric cars are just as bad if not worse for the environment).
