5. Dodge Neon

The Dodge Neon arrived in the mid-1990s with a cheery “Hi” campaign and quickly became a favorite among budget-conscious drivers. Its playful design and spirited performance attracted young buyers and commuters, pushing strong sales during its early years. However, as competitors modernized and safety standards evolved, the Neon’s appeal faded. By the late 2000s, it was quietly discontinued, leaving only memories of its once-bright presence on American roads. Hagerty
