Here’s our take on the 10 most curious cars still on sale. Did you forget these cruisers? How could you! Add your own suggestions below in the comment section. You should feel free to argue.

Mazda B-Series/Ford Ranger Pickup

Base Price: $17,115

Our take: The lightest of the light-duty trucks, the Mazda B-Series/Ranger has been around basically unchanged since the ’90s.

Lexus SC 430

Base Price: $67,630

Our Take: Futuristic in its looks when released, this car has been awful to drive since day one. The SC 430 had one of the first folding hardtops, but who cares?

Lincoln Town Car

Base Price: $47,330

Our Take: Yes, the Lincoln Town Car can still be ordered from Lincoln’s Web site, voted best car for sneaking friends into the drive-in.

Ford Taurus X

Base Price: $27,365

Our Take: As underwhelming now as when it was introduced as the Freestyle, the Taurus X can only go so far on its name.

Toyota Avalon

Base Price: $27,845

Our Take: There might be a duller car for sale in the United States, but we can’t think of it at the moment.

Hyundai Azera

Base Price: $25,695

Our Take: Hyundai’s previous try at a luxury sedan, the Azera has been largely forgotten since the Genesis was born.

Mitsubishi Raider

Base Price: $21,205

Our Take: Officially axed this year, the rebranded Dakota had a lukewarm reception at best.

Cadillac DTS

Base Price: $47,200

Our Take: Morty Seinfeld’s dream car, the angular DTS is still on sale. Your old neighbors down the street will be happy.

Volvo S40

Base Price: $29,375

Our Take: Not much has been said about the S40 in a while, but it’s still on sale, with a decent price.

Mercedes G-class

Base Price: $101,125

Our Take: At more than $100K, the G-wagen is for the truly privileged. It has been the truck of choice for athletes, rappers and actors for years.
