UPDATE: We mistakenly wrote that the Chevrolet Corvette turned 50 years old last year, when in fact it celebrated its 60th birthday in 2013. Also, the Ford Mustang celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, not in 2015. Further, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is a two-seater, not a 2+2. The text has been adjusted.
Automotive anniversaries are often big news. Last year, the Chevrolet Corvette (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/corvette/) turned 60 and the Porsche 911 (http://www.autoblog.com/porsche/911/) hit 50. This year, the spritely Mazda MX-5 Miata (http://www.autoblog.com/mazda/mx-5+miata/) turns 25. The iconic Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) just turned the big Five-Oh, too.
But what about lesser anniversaries? Think about it: there are plenty of cars with birthdays that slide under the radar every year. And some automotive endeavors don't even last long enough to warrant a proper milestone celebration.
To that end, we're taking a look back to 2004 - just 10 years ago - to see what vehicles would be celebrating a decade of life, assuming they were still alive today. Do note, for this list, we've only included vehicles that launched for the 2004 model year, not calendar year.
Have a look below (http://www.mnfords.com/2014/07/08/9-cars-mia-after-decade-ford-mazda-porsche/#continued) to see both iconic and easily forgettable cars that would be celebrating 10 fruitful years in 2014... if they were still alive.Continue reading A decade later, here are 4 cars we miss and 5 we're happy are gone [UPDATE] (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/08/9-cars-mia-after-decade-ford-mazda-porsche/)
