MTV parks "Pimp My Ride"

The upcoming season of MTV's "Pimp My Ride" will be its last.

The network said Wednesday that the auto-centric series, hosted by rapper Xzibit, will return for its final season at 10:30 p.m. Sunday. (The final eight episodes previously aired in a June 9 marathon, a strategy MTV sometimes employs to generate buzz for shows ahead of their regular weekly time-slot premiere.)

"Ride" will be paired up with new car-makeover competition series, "Trick It Out," hosted by former "American Idol" contestant Becky O'Donohue, which debuts at 10 p.m. Sunday.
