The car industry has been dealing with a massive inventory shortage amidst great demand. This has led to record profits for car dealers, marking up new vehicles and flipping trade-ins. Desperate buyers have been forced to settle and — in some cases it appears — walk away with anything dealers had kicking around the back of their lots.

Toyota dealers have finally cleared out their FJ Cruiser stock (though they did move 48 Land Cruisers). Dodge has still been selling cars that have been sitting around unloved since the Obama administration.

Here are 11 cars you’d be shocked were still sold new in 2022.
