Camaro had production gap between 02 - 10.
Ford Mustang is going to be an SUV?
Made from 1984-2001.
Good idea! Stop building reliable, efficient, popular gas or Diesels and replace them with electric vehicles that nobody wants. This will not end well. They can have my Dodge Ram Diesel when they pry it from my bloody fingers!
That’s OK, it’s a democrat! Regular rules don’t apply
As Chevrolet did with the Cavalier. We owned two. Wore them out. They stopped making affordable cars like the Cruze, too. No way will we ever be able to buy those monstrous pickups sold by any of the BIG Three or an electric vehicle.
The list I want is
A list of a single body styles with very few changes.
Certainly your Jeep is near the top,
Landrover series 2 had a long run
VW bug was made until 2003
some harley-davidsons were made for a long time
That should be longest-running model NAMES, since the vehicles themselves changed drastically over the years! Radically different bodies, different interiors, different powertrains. . . . .
I would nominate the VW beetle as running the longest without anything more than incremental improvements.
Model T?
Model A?
Yeah, this list makes no sense.
The G class Mercedes was (is) a German built derivation of the Land Rover defender. Yet purports to have a longer run.
I think it’s solely bc the defender used to be named a 90 or 110 and not defender until relatively recently.
I have, for the record, at home in Israel a defender left behind by either the British or Egyptians, don’t know. But it has been solid runner for ( I believe) over 60 years and is my daily driver in Israel.
I can attest to at least 50 years of its life.
Brought me home from the hospital as a baby.
Tiny 4 cylinder diesel.
A 1946 CJ and a 2020 Wrangler have far more in common than a 1935 Suburban and its modern counterpart.
List is full of inaccuracies.
Wrangler had a gap in 96 is the one I know of, others have pointed out more.
Already is, the “Mustang Mach-E”.
Um, no, the G-wagen is not an LR derivative.
My husband bought a Chevrolet pick up. Shopped around, waited till year end sales, and chewed them down on the price.
Runs like a champ with over 250k miles on the odometer.
So, they used the same name for years but most are nothing like the original.
Hmmmm, a fake Mustang that runs on 'lectricity or a naturally aspirated GT350R?
Tough choice, but we made the correct one if for nothing else but the flat plane crank and its pleasing exhaust note.
An electric Mustang, such blasphemy to the brand!
Took a ride in a new vette the other day and went MEH. Not bad torque but definitely not the baddest I’ve rode in. A 72 Cougar XR7 with a 351C built by Holman-Moody still holds the top spot.
Electric cars are in big demand. A Tesla production car just ran a 8 second quarter mile stock. NHRA Pro Stock cars were just able to do that not long ago.
It has 400+ mile range and can go 120 miles on a 15 minute charge
Tesla is also claiming the batteries will last 15 years
Sales of the Mach-E were doing well for a short while but now it’s basically fallen off a cliff.
Also, they’ve canned the GT350 and replaced it with the Mach 1. Not least of which due to engine issues and lack of sales.
That said, the Mach-E is blasphemy. They should have called it the Futura instead of a Mustang.
