Entire brands such as Hummer, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, and Plymouth have disappeared.

Business Insider put together a list of 52 cars with nameplates that have been discontinued over the past 30 years.Much has changed in the car business over the past 30 years. Some great names in the have come and gone. Marques such as Hummer, Pontiac, Saab, and Plymouth have all disappeared. While names such Supra and Bronco are set for a return after a period of dormancy.

The pace of change has been dramatic. The old fashioned five-speed stick shift has now transformed in six or seven-speed manuals transmissions that are itself set to be rendered extinct by ten-speed automatics and CVTs. Monstrous V8s have fallen out of favor. Instead, turbocharged four-cylinders, V6s, and hybrid electric drivetrains reign supreme. At the same time, the once-dominant sedan has fallen victim to the consumer's insatiable demand for crossover SUVs.

Horsepower has also become commonplace. When the Dodge Viper debuted in 1992 with 400 horsepower, it was a figure that seemed insurmountable at the time. These days, there are hybrid Volvo station wagons with more juice. Horsepower is also very affordable. A 460 horsepower Ford Mustang GT can be had for just $35,000 while a 707 horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat costs a"mere" $68,000.
