Today, we bid farewell to some cars that have met their untimely demise. It's a sad occasion, really. Discontinuations can be a somber affair, whether it's a car that never had the chance to reach its full potential or one that has left behind a controversial legacy. But fear not, for not all discontinuations are permanent. Some cars may make a comeback when the executives decide to tap into nostalgia or slap on an electric motor. However, we can never be certain. So, let's take a moment to say goodbye to the cars being discontinued in 2023.

First on our list is the Jeep Cherokee. Ah, the Cherokee, a true icon of the '90s SUV craze. It paved the way for the multitude of SUVs that followed. The XJ Cherokee, in particular, holds a special place in our hearts. It was a versatile and capable vehicle, offering part-time or full-time four-wheel drive. But alas, its sales have been dwindling, and it's time to bid farewell.

Next up, we have the Audi TT. Now, when you think of exceptional German engineering, Audi may not be the first brand that comes to mind. But the TT has been a valuable tool for showcasing the evolution of German automotive engineering. It may not have sold like hotcakes, but it had its loyal fan base. The TT's journey comes to an end after 25 years and three generations. It's a shame, really, as it had its moments of brilliance.

Last but not least, we have the Chevrolet Bolt EV. This electric subcompact car had its fair share of praise for its affordability and customer satisfaction. However, it faced financial challenges for General Motors, with reports suggesting that each Bolt sold resulted in a loss for the company. But fear not, my friends, for GM has expressed confidence that the Bolt will make a comeback in a new form.

So, as we bid farewell to these cars, let's remember the impact they had on the automotive world. The Cherokee, the TT, and the Bolt may be leaving the stage for now, but who knows what the future holds? Perhaps we'll see them return in a different guise, ready to take on new challenges. Only time will tell.
