Off Roading

Why do automakers cease making certain models or go out of business themselves?

-A make or model may fall out of favor with consumers because of style, lack of safety, performance, mileage or accoutrements (8 track player only...)

-Could be recalled for a particular reason.

-Could have an unfortunate name (The old story of Novas not selling in Mexico because they didn't want a car that's name meant "doesn't go.")

-Replaced by a more market-friendly model

What else? Any stories come to mind?
