Default Re: Brands that are in danger of extinction by 2015

What brands do you think is in danger of fading away in the USA market by 2015? My list so far:

Mitsubishi - EVO VIII might not help revive the rest of the subpar product line.

Saturn - ION is pitiful and all future Saturn will be steel bodied and rehash of other GM products.

Saab - Product is good, but overprice and its niche is dying.

MINI - can one hyped up car hold a brand for over a decade? Very doubtful.

Suzuki - its cheap and competing directly with Kia. Kia is more likely to win out because of its marketing push.

Isuzu - its dying already as we speak.

Opinions?
I seriously doubt Saab is in all that much danger. Most people, myself included, think the new 9-3 is a huge leap forward from its predecessor. In fact, most dealers are already puting people on waiting lists which is not typical for Saab.
