OK this one's a play on the popular thread with the similar name: what cars are still new on sale that you don't see many of any more?
You could say 'any Peugeot' but their numbers sold have been low for a long time - I'm thinking more of something that once was common, but now not so, but still in showrooms. Forgotten. With the huge changes going on, yesterdays heros are endangered today. Eg - Toyota Yaris. I hardly see any. Former $15990 cheap-and-reliable stalwart sold in large numbers, they jacked prices by 10K with the new model, and created the Yaris Cross to SUVify it. Can you think of any?

This is sort of a dealer in $ydney's CBD. Sort of an online Franchise for Franco. Kind of ironic its situated in the Chrysler building. Genesis, can't say I've seen any on the road. ![]() ![]()

I've gone in when first set up to suss out the coupe Genisis that is a nice piece of kit actually with a good donk. I see one similar in Melb cbd from memory one trip not long ago. I'm actually seeing a few Genisis SUV's nowadays on the road. I hardly see any dealers with any old stock on hand nowadays, all current fresh models due to covid slow supply and now with better flow with shipments and supply improvements depending how popular the model..

Interesting that you mention Peugeot. My wife has a 2021 3008, great little car, fun to drive, very well equipped etc etc. We’re in Ballarat and see other 3008s very regularly - surprisingly often actually. Seems to be the case that you see more of a car once you have a connection to it. Our son’s girlfriend just got a new VW T Roc a month ago, and now we see them often as well. I got a new Wildtrak just last week, but they’re as common as muck.

Similar to some high end cars, Aston Martin SUV, some high end Lambo I saw the other day, most new Mercedes, could all be Chinese cars at first glance. |

hehe, yep cabbies must be doing well nowadays for the mind boggles.
Spotted, Teslas, Lexus cabbies lately. I suspect BYD's will gain traction in time for the budget.

Sunday arvo's in the CBD brings out all of the above, all got the doof, doof music going, driven by 20 year old non binary, Tic Toker Gangsters, seems to be a competition of who can be the loudest between lights, of course throw in the occasional Harley rider. FTE I keep seeing these Cupra things everywhere now, most have Uber stickers in the rear window.
