(Bobit) — USA Today has compiled a list of vehicles sold in the U.S. and set to end production in 2020. The nine-vehicle list is heavy on cars, reflecting a shift in preferences among American car buyers: toward light truck categories and away from sedans.

Not spared was the Chevrolet Impala, which has been in production for all but 13 of the past 62 years.

“For 2020 we’re expecting most of the departures to be cars,” Jeremy Acevedo, Edmunds’ manager of industry analysis, told the paper. “These are some sentimental departures for the industry.”

The full list of discontinued cars includes:

  • Buick Cascada

  • Cadillac CT6

  • Chevrolet Impala

  • Fiat 500

  • Ford Flex

  • Infiniti QX30

  • Jaguar XJ

  • Lincoln MKC

  • Toyota Prius C
