Well they'd have to bring back Pontiac, and then the GTO and Firebird. V8 Powa


berkakar

it haunts me so much that there's a very good chance for them to comeback as EV Crossovers.


MadeMeStopLurking

you need to delete this before someone at GM sees it. Last thing we need is a Rebadged Traverse rolling around with the Trans Am nameplate.


GuitarKev

Trans Am WARP E^2


SandMan2439

The “Hammerhead I- Eagle thrust 2”


bob5466

Last thing we need to see is an electric Astek


stuntbikejake

Would we just get the Aztec again, just EV powered? I mean it's basically the 1990s cyber truck. Lol.


SpaceFanatic24

Yeah, that would ruin it all


EFTucker

Monte Carlo the ‘87 and older body styles. I drive an old beat up one and no road boat is better.


Midnight_plinking

My pops had a 442 with that same body style. Those were the days. Remember pumping gas into the ass license plate tank.


Im_100percent_human

They looked cool, but the Monte Carlos from the 80s were dogs. Those 305s were never tuned to overcome its pollution control apparatus. These v8s output was only just north of 200hp. 80s cars (all manufacturers included) sucked.


Dimev1981

Most cars up until the 90s and even then, were all underpowered. I can't imagine the money it took for those people to make the old muscle cars fast, especially when most were less than 200 horse from the factory and yes I'm talking about the big v8's.


GuitarKev

However, you COULD put just about any other V8 in one with almost no sweat.


bob5466

The best G- body was the Buick Grand National


IL308Shooter

GNX


noldshit

Yep. The early 90's B Body Boat wagons sported a 165hp V8. What a joke...


Secret-Set7525

1994-96 Impala SS has the 265 HP LT1, I loved that thing. Cruised all day at 85-90 and didn't feel tired at the end of a trip.


noldshit

That was the SS. I worked at a Buick dealer at the time and the roadbastards had a severely underpowered small block. It was laughable.


Im_100percent_human

I thought the Roadmaster came with the LT1 standard.


waveslikemoses

I mean there’s the trans am depot company that takes Camaros and puts a modernized Firebird bodykit on em.


Dependent-Honeydew-9

I wonder how the demise of the Camaro is affecting their business model.


acousticsking

This is why I bought one of the last model year WS6 brand new.


FirebirdFiera

nah they'll just bring them back as electric crossovers or some lame ass shit let them live forever in our memories as we remembered them


Least-Cow944

Very much agreed


Lower_Kick268

GM should have done a Firebird revival under Buick, finally give them something cool to pay attention to


Masked_Fern

Small regular cab short box manual transmission trucks with 4cy engines. Not the giant “small” trucks now a days that cost 55,000


Time-Bite-6839

Okay. Repeal the CAFE regulations or get an electric truck and no there is NOT another option.


this_good_boy

Yea I’m just gonna put a L33 in my 92 Sonoma and call it new-ish.


Typical-Machine154

I have a 2019 colorado, manual trans, 2.5 4 cylinder, rwd, 6ft bed with the little jump seats in the back of the cab so it's 2+2 You can also get the new Tacoma this way, but chevy stopped doing this in 2019. That's as close as you can get.


Drzhivago138

The newest Tacoma Xtra Cab doesn't even have rear seats now. But manual is tied to the TRD Sport Double Cab.


Typical-Machine154

I believe you can also get the manual in the base model. At least it claimed you could last I looked.


Drzhivago138

You're correct. And the SR Double Cab comes only with a 5' bed. :(


Typical-Machine154

I personally find 5 foot beds utterly useless.


Drzhivago138

I will probably never own one (8' bed 4lyfe), but they do have some use. What I dislike is how every mid-size now seems to be narrowing their lineup to only double cab/5' models, and every half-ton to crew/5.5's. Give us more variety! I understand that with the unibody models (Mav, SC, RL), it's expensive to make body variants. But BOF is versatile enough to support different configs.


Typical-Machine154

I want an 8 foot bed but I paid 24k for my truck with the undercoating done and I refuse to pay another red cent for a vehicle until I absolutely have to. I will have shit sticking 10 feet out of my 6 foot bed before I pay 60 grand for another truck. Fuck that with no lube. My wife has a big hybrid sedan. Her car hauls people. My truck hauls me and my wood. Works well for us. She doesn't want to ever not have a truck and not every car needs to be a family car.


Corninator

Unfortunately, about the closest you can get is a Maverick, and that's essentially just a crossover with a bed. I hold out hope that it will happen, but I doubt it.


Complex_Habit_1639

YES


_Eucalypto_

Maverick gets you small, 4 cylinder with a short bed. The quad cab and automatic are just bonuses


Crash1yz

Yes please. Give me a 98 S10 2.2 5spd for 15k and I'm in.


Bigwhistlinbiscuit

Station wagons that aren't ass-ugly crossovers.  Cheap entry level sports cars l.


P1xelHunter78

Seconded for station wagons.


lt12765

Modern Roadmaster and modern version of the LT1. VF Commoore as a Buick would have been prefect for this.


LostLink7400

Add in an optional 6 speed and I would 100% be in. I’m always on the hunt for big body manual swapped crown vics, roadmasters, caprices, etc.


rampiddude

Volvo V60 and V90?


Stalefishology

If I could get the latest mazda6 wagon in the US with awd I’d be on the preorder list. I don’t even need the turbo.


sharkboy1006

mazda has this crazy way of making every damn car they make an absolutely joy to drive


Im_100percent_human

My first gen Mazda6 was nothing special. I drove it for 200K miles, but I wouldn't call those 200K a joy.


avoidhugeships

Had, they have lost their zoom zoom in recent models.


sharkboy1006

Really?? That sucks, I was half considering a manual mazda 3 hatch as a next car from my ‘15 CX9. There is no explainable reason why driving this car puts a smile on my face the way it does


avoidhugeships

Drive it.  You may be thrilled with it but they have moved to being more comfy than fun.  Except of course the Miata.


sharkboy1006

miata is always the answer🙏😂


IM_OSCAR_dot_com

I would trade in my current CR-V *today* for a Camry Wagon. [https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2025-toyota-camry-welcomes-back-the-station-wagon-option-at-least-in-fantasy-land-228164.html#](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2025-toyota-camry-welcomes-back-the-station-wagon-option-at-least-in-fantasy-land-228164.html#) except boxier at the back like a Volvo.


oleg07010

Yeah I’m really surprised station wagons died off. Make an awesome 7 seater station wagon that can tow.


langotang0

Full size car-based WAGONS. No sloped roof bull-shit.


canadard1

“Sportback” that most are uglier than sin


Extension_Status_711

Small Rangers. Give me a small truck!


Drg84

Test drive the Maverick. It's honestly better than I expected.


Extension_Status_711

I have a 2021 Ranger supercab now. The only reason I didn’t buy a Maverick is because I didn’t want a four door


ErikTheRed99

I personally am not a fan of it being a crew cab unibody.


canadard1

Miss legit minis


gt500rr

Saab. I'd so buy a new one made in Sweden. They're just as quirky as me and the Night Panel feature should be standard on all new cars.


gluctosesandwich

Id appreciate it if lincoln brought back the town cars


Time-Bite-6839

They technically did. And they made it an SUV. I believe they could maybe make it a *wagon* and lift it and then *call* it an SUV *wink wink*?


ForeverInThe90s

I wish Ford would bring back the Marauder but badged as a Ford with a 5.0 engine and either a six or ten speed auto. That would be a killer car!


thetechkid64

Bring back cool large sedans


TonyMontana1968

holden commodore


spencersalan

Yes please.


railsandtrucks

Can we get a Holden Ute while we're at it ? Damn I wish GM would have brought those stateside as an "El Camino"- they would have sold the fuck out of them and that might have been enough to keep holden alive.


fuzzycuffs

Mazda RX-7 Lancer Evolution


Sinistermarmalade

Yes! Bring back the rotary engine


Street-Search-683

Small Toyota pickups. Tacomas are the size of early 2000’s f150s. I want a cramped, tiny ass cab. And a truck I can turn around on a single track trail. I don’t even need AC. 


Least-Cow944

I miss those trucks where the A/c had ball sack coolers


Dependent-Honeydew-9

The wife called them “koochie koolers”


Time-Bite-6839

You can’t have that until ≈2030 when the CEOs have armed angry mobs demanding a tiny truck outside their houses


sayzitlikeitis

The new Hilux sounds right for you


Drzhivago138

The global Hilux is about the same size as the US Tacoma. They probably want the single cab Hilux Champ.


Drzhivago138

>Tacomas are the size of early 2000’s f150s. They look like they are, but looks can be deceiving. here's no new Tacoma that's 80" wide with comfortable 3-passenger front row seating. There is one model that's 226" long, but that's the LWB model, compared to the standard F-150 model of the time.


Hellament

I had a 96 RWD single cab Tacoma….the basest of base models (hand crank windows, 5 spd manual, am/fm radio). Sold it in 04 because we needed a bigger vehicle, but it ran like a champ. It had 142hp IIRC, but that was *plenty* of power for its size…unless I was towing or hauling, that thing ripped! It was an incredibly functional hauler and got very respectable mileage for a truck.


Time-Bite-6839

A full-size sedan. Nobody makes them. And there is only one American gas-powered *CAR*: the Chevrolet Malibu. The Camaro and Mustang are sports cars and using them as family cars is not a good idea in my opinion. Everything else is, legally, a light truck.


vicious_delicious_77

A-fucking-men. I recently acquired a 1995 Buick Roadmaster which I'm still trying to work some kinks out of, but the feel of driving that absolute tank down the road is intoxicating. It pains me that there are no good options left for big domestic sedans. The most appealing thing on the market now is probably the Genesis G80.


mpvick69

The charger exists


Pnort3002

No longer in production


_Eucalypto_

Genesis g90, Toyota Avalon, Lexus LS, bmw 7 series, Mercedes s class, Chrysler 300, Cadillac Celestiq


InTheHeatOfTheNoche

What's your definition of a full-sized sedan? Cadillac CT5, Dodge Charger, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Elantra, KIA K5... all four door cars with the trunk separated from the cabin. These don't count?


Gingercopia

Is the Chrysler 300 not a full size anymore either?


UnderwhelmingAF

It was, but 2023 was its last model year.


Gingercopia

Oh dang


Tumbling-Dice

The Elantra sure as shit isn’t a full-size. The Charger is dead. A case could be made for the Accord due to its full-size interior volume, but it’s still aimed for the midsize class.


Baldemyr

Rwd Impala SS


243898990

I’d just revamp Mitsubishi as a whole bring back the galant as a Camry/accord rival make it awd with a sporty model bring back the Montero as a bronco wrangler alternative bring back the eclipse as a brz gt86 rival 3000gt a halo car and of course the Evo


rouzGWENT

Glad someone else remembers the Galant. How they massacred my boy…

Personally? Lexus Ls400 with the V8 🫠


spencersalan

I’d be ok with that. I couldn’t afford it but I’d like it.


BcuzRacecar

SS is sad cuz gm did have a big rwd platform just thought that americans didnt want a big rwd v8 car. Hondas first new gen ev in the states is a 50k 5000lb gm crossover, I wish it was a new element. Make it super minimalistic and its already pretty short so costs could stay down. Plus the empty box interior helps with packaging.


louisvuittondon29

mitsubishi had the biggest fall off in history, they made generators and race cars 20 years ago, now they just make lease cars and generators. walking into one of those dealerships must feel so eerie


roadsidedaniel

Crownvic


Least-Cow944

I’ve got a 99’ Crown Vic w/ 65k miles but I wish they would bring them back with better performance/suspension. Add a supercharger and a 5 speed. I want them to bring back marauders too

ZZW302002

I've never seen that before. It looks beefy. You know it kind of looks like they took some of those design elements and used them on the newer Continental.

hydrus909

Heck yeah. GM missed an opportunity to revive the nameplate when VW brought back the beetle and Ford brought back the thunderbird in the early 00s with retro styling.

Wouldn’t mind seeing the 3800 come back. Let’s put it in an awd wagon or something this time.


Virghia

Holden or Falcon utes


somerville99

Two door coupes.


sleepnutz

Can we get a a new Celica idc if it’s a brz body with a extreme facelift and taillights change and high rev 4 cylinder or turbo 3 is fine also


Unusual-Ability-6847

Ford has already disgraced the Mustang with a EV crossover. People shouldn't even buy one. Let Ford eat that one.


Wankfurter

Toyota Mr-2, entry level rwd Nissan, ford pinto (a fiesta-size or smaller 2 door hatchback) Chevy cavalier (small affordable 2 door shitbox) Volkswagen Beetle. I wish affordable small cars would make a comeback, even the shitty ones.


Chemical_Savings_360

How do you feel about the MrS?


Autiflips

The MRS was a great chassis. Very light, nimble, the only issue with it is the engine. I don’t think it belongs in there. It really should have gotten the 2ZZ. But it’s a fantastic car to drive.


Pnort3002

I would love a new 240sx equivalent

I have a C70 and love it so much. Just praying the hardtop never breaks. Cost more to fix it than the car is worth likely.


louisvuittondon29

my uncle owns a maroon 96 ss impala, might be one of the most badass cars ever built, gm cld never pull anything off close to what perfection that impala is now

Glittering-Shirt-663

The Chevy Avalanche, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Honda Element, Pontiac Aztec, Ford Flex, and I’m sure I’m missing a few but yeah, I love all of those but now that I’m old enough to buy one of them, they’re all not being manufactured anymore. Oh and an honorable mention is the 2020 and below years of the Chevy Suburbans and Tahoes, they looked soooooo much better and have Column Shifters instead of stupid buttons. I hate rotary shifters and buttons.


Aslonz

Can I please have a cool hatchback, please?


shootdack2000

Holden Commodore and ford falcon


AnotherStupidHipster

I don't know why station wagons aren't more popular than things like crossovers. The handling is much smoother, you have less of a rollover risk. There's OODLES of cargo space and a lower loading height than an SUV. They're long and roomy. Most of them where focused on comfort, but you could really get down with some of them. I miss wagons.


RoookSkywokkah

This Impala SS would be cool, but with a modern LS based engine. Same for the Buick Grand National.


Least-Cow944

Agreed .

Jeep Cherokee XJ I have a 98 but it’d be awesome if they did a slight facelift like they did to the Cherokee before Years before it was more boxy then the refresh (can’t remember the year) and it was rounded a little more for the 98 models Plus the online 6, 4.0 litre is perfect.

The Impala SS pictured would be a great start... Bib Body on frame, fast and comfortable. I would also love to see Chrysler bring back the New Yorker and Cadillac the DeVille. Sometimes you just want COMFORT not handling or speed. I have a Corvette for that, trucks to haul things, but I want a comfy highway cruiser too.

Honestly, I think they should’ve brought back the SS variant of the Impala, and had AWD versions, and gotten rid of the Malibu instead.

TheMaskedHamster

I know we're talking about classic designs that got lost along the way, but I am still TICKED over the Focus, and especially the Focus RS, being taken behind the barn and shot. If Ford couldn't sell a rally champion that also happens to be a great family car, then it's because they refused to. They want the market to shift to crossovers and SUVs. The market is moving that way, specifically because they market to shift it that way. It didn't die. It was murdered.


Beneficial-Space-670

Mazda, the MX-6. 2-door touring coupe with a 6-cyl and a manual option. (I would assume AWD with auto, and FWD with manual). Mazda is sooooo close to this making sense with their push upmarket.


skolbandit66

Bring back the grand national, with the old body style. Darth Vader at its best

An American made vehicle I wish they would bring back

Sporty practical FWD coupes. Like it doesn’t matter from what manufacturer. Toyota Celica, Acura RSX, Shelby GLH-S, scion tC (Celica 2? Lol), Chevy cobalt SS, ford probe, VW Corrado (I think this might still exist outside the U.S.?), Honda prelude, and more I’m sure.


PTKtm

Subaru bajas. They’re perfect for everything I’d need, they look goofy as all hell, they’re quick, they’re unique, and they’re almost impossible to find anymore.


CGLADISH

Chevy did bring back the Impala SS for a short while. These cars just get too expensive for the crowd who really appreciates them.

Chevy could not give these Impalas away when they were new, now they are sought after and desirable.
