A look back at cars and light trucks that were given a pink slip in the U.S. market and headed for the sunset during 2012.

Suzuki Kizashi

Engineered to drive like a German sports sedan and equipped to rival the best family sedans from Honda and Toyota, the short-lived Suzuki Kizashi was heralded as the company's last great hope in the United States. Despite largely positive reviews, the car failed to generate a sufficient following and prevent Suzuki from leaving the U.S. auto market altogether. The Kizashi went on sale in 2009 and U.S. deliveries peaked at 6,942 in 2011.
