15 of the most durable car that refuse to die (trucks not included)

Here is the list of the 15 most durable cars ever produced that just keep going and going. List was compiled by Kiplinger on January of 2015, in no specific order. There are some surprises in there as well.
  1. Honda Accord - Model years 1976 to present
  2. Buick Roadmaster Wagon (Chevy Impala wagon) - Model years 1991-1996
  3. Geo Prizm (Toyota Corolla clone made in US) - Model years 1984-2010
  4. VW Van - Model years 1950-1992
  5. All RWD Volvo - Model years 1966-1996
  6. SAAB 900 - Model years 1979-1993
  7. Subaru Wagons - Model years 1990 to present
  8. Mercedes 240D/300D/300TD (diesels) - Model years 1975 to 1983
  9. Toyota Camry - Model years 1992 to present
  10. Ford Escort - Model years 1991 to 2002
  11. Chevy Camaro/Pontiac Firebird - Model years 1982-2002
  12. Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Marquis - Model years 1992 to 2011
  13. Buick LeSabre - Model years 1989 to 2005
  14. Jeep Cherokee (SUV that was car based) - Model years 1987 to 2001
  15. Jaguar XJ6 sedan - Model years 1995 to 1997
I can't say that I agree this this entire list, I would have to exclude vehicles 14 & 15 on the list.
Reason for #14 exclusion assembly of the Cherokee was sub par at best. Excluding the engine everything else on the Cherokee was biodegradable.
Exclusion of #15 the XJ6 is mainly due to the extremely high cost and scarcity of the replacement parts.
