^ ^ In the comic movie remake of "Dragnet", Dan Akroyd as Sergeant Joe Friday once described a Yugo as "the cutting edge of Serbo-Croatian technology"!

Most of the pre-2005 Korean cars were shoddy junk and have disintegrated by now.

I will echo the Mitsubishis, Geos, and add in the Ford Ranger.

Even though they still make them, the Toyota 4Runner does not seem as popular as they once were.

How about a Kia Sidekick?
I see late model Subarus all the time, but not those from 2005 or before.

Ford Escort (except the station wagons, which seem to be kept going by old people)
Acura Legend and Vigor
Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance
Chrysler LeBaron
Pre-1996 Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable
Pre-1998 Ford Crown Vic
Chrysler New Yorker/LHS. 300M still around but getting rare.
Oldsmobile Achieva/Buick Skylark
Ford Thunderbird/Mercury Cougar (1997 and earlier)
Saab 900
Any Mitsubishi, Daewoo, or early Kia
1991-1996 Chevy Caprice (still see a ton of the 1990 and earlier models)

I'll probably think of more later.
All depends we're you live I'm from Detroit area and I still see all of these domestic's just about every day.

Fiat, Renault, Peugeot and even the occasional Citroen all had a reasonably strong presence in this country at one time… and really not all that long ago. And of course Saab & Volvo are both partly owned by the chinese now.

Chances are if a vehicle is American, Body-on-Frame, V8 and built in the last 30 years, it's probably on the road somewhere still running like a turd.
