Deal: $189 per month for 36 months with $2,399 due at signing
There’s a fully redesigned 2018 Honda Accord arriving this fall, but missing from the lineup is the two-door Accord Coupe. Good news, though: You can lease a 2017 Honda Accord LX-S Coupe with an automatic transmission this August with monthly payments of $189 for three years and $2,399 due at signing.
In addition to the coupe, Honda is also axing the V6 engine option after 2017, replacing it with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The Accord Coupe equipped with a V6 was a stealthy powerhouse that only enthusiasts discovered.
The current model holds a spot in the top half of our rankings of midsize cars. The Accord Coupe features significantly less room in its backseat and trunk than the Accord Sedan. That lessened utility is one of the primary reasons for the Accord Coupe's demise and the decline of the coupe market in general.

Deal: Use U.S. News & World Report’s Best Price Program
Chrysler isn’t advertising any incentives currently on the 2017 Chrysler 200, but if you use our Best Price Program, you should be able to find a great deal on the slow-selling midsize sedan. Dealer inventory may be limited, as Chrysler has not produced the car since December 2016.
A rough transmission and a low predicted reliability rating doomed the 200 to the bottom of our rankings of midsize cars, though there were a few bright spots for the sedan. The sporty 200S model is available with an all-wheel drive system that made the car fun to drive in the snow, and its interior is more luxurious than those in many class rivals.
On its own, the 200 isn’t a horrible car, but the midsize sedan market is a tough segment to compete in with anything that isn’t near-perfect.

Deal: 0% financing for 60 months plus $2,000 cash back
The 2017 Buick Verano is a victim of being adequate in a segment where excellent is a prerequisite for success. The Verano’s upscale interior and sterling predicted reliability rating weren’t enough to overcome a weak engine, weaker fuel economy, and a lack of back-seat space.
However, if you’re looking for an urban runabout with luxurious intentions, comfortable front seats, and a quieter ride than most rivals, you should take advantage of the excellent financing incentive that Buick is offering this August. They’ll give you zero percent financing for five years and $2,000 cash back when you buy a Verano.
In our rankings of compact cars, the Verano holds a spot about two-thirds of the way down the list.

See all deals »2017 Lexus CT
Deal: $249 per month for 36 months with $1,499 due at signing
Despite its faults, the 2017 Lexus CT is an ultra-reliable luxury compact car with gas mileage that's exceptional and ample cargo space compared to its rivals. The fact is, if gas prices were higher, the CT would probably have survived. But with low fuel prices, there aren't enough compelling reasons to buy one.
Except, of course, for the phenomenal lease deal that Lexus is offering in many parts of the country. In some regions of the country, you can lease a Lexus CT this August with payments of $249 per month for three years with $1,499 due at signing. In other parts of the country, the monthly payment remains the same, but the amount due at signing ranges up to $2,299. That's probably the lowest lease price you will find on a new Lexus.
The CT holds a spot about three-quarters of the way down our rankings of luxury small cars. Its marginal engine power and hard-to-use infotainment system are its two biggest weaknesses.

Deal: 0% financing for 60 months or $3,000 cash back
Much of the rest of the world gets the next generation of the Ford Fiesta subcompact. However, America, with its love of the SUV, won’t get the new Fiesta on our shores. Instead, we’ll see the arrival of the arrival of the Ford EcoSport crossover in early 2018.
That means great incentives on the 2017 Ford Fiesta, as the company tries to move the remaining cars off their lots. This August, they’re offering zero percent financing for five years or $3,000 cash back in most parts of the country.
The Fiesta holds a spot just behind the leaders in our rankings of subcompact cars. It has one of the lowest starting prices in the segment and great fuel economy when you equip it with the available turbocharged engine. Hands-free Bluetooth smartphone integration is standard, but if you step up to models equipped with the Ford SYNC 3 infotainment system, you'll also get support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
More 2017 Chevrolet SS Deals in Your Area
See all deals »2017 Chevrolet SS
Deal: Use U.S. News & World Report’s Best Price Program
The stealthy 2017 Chevrolet SS packs the punch of the Corvette's 6.2-liter V8 engine, with a sophisticated suspension setup that includes Magnetic Ride Control to constantly adjust to driving conditions. Unfortunately, the SS reaches the end of the road this fall.
Chevy isn’t promoting any new car deals on the SS, but if you take advantage of our Best Price Program, you’ll receive guaranteed savings off MSRP from local dealers.
The elimination of the Chevrolet SS from the company’s lineup was the result of a corporate decision to stop producing cars in Australia, where the SS was built alongside models from their Holden subsidiary. The SS can launch from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and is available with either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission.
The SS holds a spot about midway down in our rankings of large cars.

See all deals »2017 Infiniti QX70
Deal: $479 per month for 39 months with $4,599 due at signing
In the growing array of crossovers offered by Infiniti, the aging QX70 is the odd one out. Sure it has great driving dynamics and an athletic stance that isn’t matched by most rivals, but a lack of cargo space and more modern offerings from the brand have squeezed it aside.
The 2017 Infiniti QX70 will be the last of the model, at least for a while. There are rumors of the return of the nameplate on a new vehicle in a few years, but nothing is confirmed. In the meantime, the company expects buyers to latch onto the forthcoming 2018 Infiniti QX50 luxury compact SUV or QX60 luxury midsize SUV. In our rankings of luxury midsize SUVs, the QX70 holds a position in the lower quarter.

Deal: 0.9% financing for 60 months
With the arrival of the three-row 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and larger-than-before 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, the bell finally tolled for the aging and pricey Volkswagen Touareg. Just when we finally learned how to spell it, the 2017 model will be the last, at least for the United States.
Justifying its high starting price tag of $49,495, the Touareg comes with a generous amount of standard equipment, including enough advanced safety equipment to earn a perfect safety mark in our rankings of luxury midsize SUVs.
This August, you can finance a Touareg with 0.9 percent financing for five years.

Deal: $329 per month for 36 months with $2,449 due at signing
2017 will be the last year for the Azera, a large car that Hyundai hoped would bridge the gap between their mainstream Sonata sedan and their luxury Genesis models. Despite having great safety scores, a generous amount of standard equipment, and a stylish interior, the Azera never took off.
As they try to move the last of the 2017 Hyundai Azeras off the lots, you can lease one this August with payments of $329 per month for three years with $2,449 due at signing. If you opt to buy at the end of the lease, the Azera features a great warranty, with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage.
In our rankings of large cars, the 2017 Hyundai Azera holds a place near the bottom.

See all deals »2017 Jeep Patriot
Deal: 0% interest for 60 months plus $2,000 cash back
There are some cars that you look at and wonder how they survived this long in a hyper-competitive segment. The 2017 Jeep Patriot is one of those, but the answers are simple – it’s cheap to buy and it has better off-road capability than most rivals. Its base price is $18,040.
This August, it is even more affordable, with a zero-percent financing offer for five years and as much as $2,000 cash back, depending on your location.
Given that most vehicles in this class have higher prices and are designed to rarely leave the pavement, it’s hard for the Patriot to compete in terms of features and refinement. In our rankings of compact SUVs, the Patriot holds a spot near the bottom.

See all deals »2017 Volkswagen CC
Deal: 0.9% financing for 60 months
The Volkswagen CC was one of the first four-door sedans in America to feature a low, coupe-like profile and a short rear trunk lid. Now vehicles from the Kia Optima to the 2018 Toyota Camry have adopted its roofline, and the CC has reached the end of the line.
You won’t have to wait too long for its replacement, however. The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon is already on sale in Germany and will arrive in the U.S. in 2018 as a 2019 model.
This August, buyers can take advantage of a 0.9 percent financing deal for five years on the 2017 Volkswagen CC. In our rankings of luxury midsize cars, the CC scores a spot at the bottom of the rankings due to its cramped rear seat and small trunk. It does, however, have one of the lowest price points in the category.

There Are Great Incentives on Vehicles That Won’t Be Back for 2018
Not every idea that automakers bring to market is a resounding success. Some models bid their adieu to the American market each year, and some are replaced with all-new vehicles. This year’s list of departures is long, as shifts in car buyers’ tastes have spelled doom for many models.
Their lack of sales success, however, is your path to ample potential savings. With the 2018 model year quickly approaching, it’s your last chance to get your hands on these models, and automakers have rolled out great deals to move many of them off their lots for the final time.
Of course, not every model leaving the market is going at fire-sale prices. The 2017 Dodge Viper and 2017 BMW Z4 are still in high-enough demand to move without incentives. Some models, like the Nissan Quest, aren't available on dealer lots in large enough numbers to justify inclusion on this list. Others, like the Mitsubishi Lancer, score too low in our rankings to be considered a good deal.
On the following slides, we'll take a look at deals on cars that won’t be back next year.
