Among them are meh vehicles like the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio (due to reliability, not performance), the Audi A5 Cabrio and Coupe, the Fisker Ocean (because the entire brand is a flop), the Infiniti Q50 (was that still alive, what a shocker?!), or all the Jaguar models because they're rebranding and hoping for better luck next time with EVs.
However, there are also genuinely cool vehicles that sadly won't make it out of 2024 – like the Nissan GT-R, Ram 1500 Classic and TRX, Lamborghini Huracan, or the Chevrolet Camaro and Malibu.
As far as General Motors is concerned, it's clear they are traveling along the same path as Ford Motor Company, and the only passenger car left in the entire lineup across all brands is now the C8 Chevrolet Corvette mid-engine sports car, just like over in Dearborn the only survivor is the S650 seventh-generation Ford Mustang.
Although the nameplate is a veritable icon among pony cars, the Chevrolet Camaro's sixth generation won't be mourned by many because it was a veritable flop, constantly underperforming.
At the same time, the older L-bodied Dodge Challenger valiantly fought with the Ford Mustang and sometimes even beat it across the annual sales charts.
The Malibu, on the other hand, was still selling well – even if not spectacularly – thanks to its no-frills attitude. So, this one will be missed a lot more than the Camaro, actually.
Well, even members of the imaginative guild of digital car content creators seem to dream of Chevrolet sedans when dwelling across the parallel universes of vehicular CGI.
As such, one of them - Jim, a virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, who loves messing around with all things CGI from the automotive realm, has decided to do something to scratch that itch.
However, instead of a new Chevy Malibu that would have made some people think 'same old, same old,' most likely, he proceeded to bring back the legendary Chevrolet Impala from car Valhalla, even if only digitally.
Because he noticed the success of the C8 Corvette, now a high-end sports car, he also resurrected the most special Impala of recent times – the 1994-1996 seventh-generation Chevy Impala SS.
Only this time around, it's not a high-performance version of the Caprice based on the Caprice 9C1 police package.
Instead, this time around, the pixel master let his imagination loose and sourced the big body of the Cadillac CT6 to use as the base of CGI operations.
Then, he infused it with the current styling of Chevrolet crossovers and borrowed the front end of the entry-level Trax ($20,400) to give it a quirky styling.
To finish it worthy of the Impala SS moniker, there are also appropriate badges and black alloy wheels along with the Impala logo on the sides.
