Forgive me if this is a strange question, but which cars of today will be the most scrapped?
Some cars get scrapped more often than others. For example, I know of some 15-year-old cars which I still see fairly often, and some which I never see these days at all.
So on that note, which cars of today do you think will be the most scrapped?

The Chrysler 200 and the Dodge Dart. Sad because years ago I was a Chrysler product fan. But their current reliability and resale value issues will cause these cars to be laid to rest quickly. JMHO

Like always, any new German Luxo barge. After their 3rd or 4th owner within 5 years, they are done.

Hopefully all. Maybe folks will remember that pre-1980, LIQUID fueled, MANUAL tranmissioned (unlike some I don't think all manly men should drive those, but most SHOULD) vehicles. HELL, buses, when I was a 1960s kid, and when my dad was a teenager in the 1940s and my mom was slightly younger, were 4 speed stick, they didn't have sissy electronic garbage, nor even REVERSE (a electric solenoid SWITCH took care of THAT mess...)..remember? I prefer Buick 1950s cars with laughing tail fins, Comets with slanted tail fins (1960), Mustangs, Volks, Mercuries and Subarus, and you don't stop, you keep....on..eating,....car...a nd then when there's ..LOL!

Chevy trailblazer and gmc envoy. Never had one but there is at least one in my shop everyday. Mostly for rear axle and wiring issues. A lot of general motor repairs that other vehicles don't have until at least 12 years old. It's been going on from the day they came out.

 I'd have to say the Fiat 500. Those things look like a death trap on wheels. |

The only reason an '85 Camaro would take that long to brake would be if the car wasn't properly maintained. From the factory the third generation Camaro was a very capable performer in the handling and braking categories for the era.
Now if you said '59 Ford or something I might agree with you. Single reservoir system with 4 wheel drum brakes... Yeah, you had to plan ahead when you were stopping.

(To use a Miranda SingsTM spilling.I'll get around to Merande on another board here._) What's the car insurance like for something like that (lacking air bags, padding, etc.)? I have a couple of classic cars, the insurance is actually dirt cheap (about $390) for both of them with full coverage. The caveat is that they are garage kept and only used for pleasure use, not for day to day commuting. When I drove my '68 Buick regularly (probably until the mid 2000's, I just had liability insurance on it so I was only paying a minimum charge. The insurance companies don't really care how old a car is, it's the theft rate and also the probability that you'll be involved in a crash. They have an amazing amount of data on this. I remember before my wife and I had children we toyed around with buying a late model Corvette and the insurance for a married male was actually cheaper than a BMW 3 series.
