What car or cars would you like to see made again

Only the 1.0L 3 cylinder...
Word is the Prelude is going to return unfortunately automatic transmission only and probably a hybrid.
Compact pickup trucks. Toyota pre T-100, Mazda B series, S10's, the previous style of Rangers, etc.
Mid-eighties Civic. Fun to drive, economical and very durable and reliable in our ownership experience. Would be a bit of a mouse among the elephants these days, though.
MB 123. Durable and reliable as well as roomy and pretty cheap to run and maintain.
The balance of ride and handling is like no current car and the diesel sounds wonderful at highway speeds.
Slow enough to be a hazard in current traffic, where a Grandpa edition pickup is expected to do 0-60 in seven seconds or less.
The cars we admired and enjoyed way back when might not be so pleasant to drive in the current world of large vehicles all around that are also surprisingly quick.

Friends just bought one; essentially a barn find...in shocking blue!
I was thinking about all the horrid sedans. Dad's '54 DeSoto Firedome comes to mind.
Too bad about AMC falling for GM's ability to supply the Wankel engine which was to go into that car.
An '84 replaced my '77. I still retro-salivate.
Yes, yes...a thousand times yes!
Why not?
Re post #41:
One of the colors offered was "Ticonderoga Yellow", after the pencil.
Christopher Chevrolet, in Ticonderoga, NY, had one on a tarmacadam display berm.
It was....eye catching!
NOTE: Fort Ticonderoga, taken by Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys in 1775, is worth the visit.

1995 Toyota MR2 and Nissan 300ZX. I'd have both in my garage.
Volvo 240/740/940
Mercedes W124
Mercedes W124
Diamond-Star Motors (DSM), specifically the AWD Talon/Eclipse/Laser/Galant VR4 and maybe the Starion
I had a 93 MR2 turbo I picked up sometime around 2005-06. Loved driving that car and hearing the turbo behind my head. Unfortunately it wasn’t practical the older I got; but, I should have kept it in hindsight. Now I’m curious if I even have any pictures of that car.
Mid 50`s with modern power and safety.
We had a couple Saturn station wagons and they were great little cars
Classic Packard V-12 Roadster. A Magnificent bit of design, engineering, and craftsmanship. The 1932 model shown below
sold at auction for 1.2 a few years back. The V-12:
And a sumptuous interior.

Wanting to own an 80s car mostly has to do of the decade i was born in. Grew up poor to own any and by the time i was out of school and working these became a distant dream and memory. Maybe someday i could get one as a project weekend car.
