What car would you like to see in production again?

What car would you like to see in production again? What car, if they brought it back, would be a top seller? And why.

I’m going to nominate the Toyota Supra!

Do you mean bring back the way it was originally, or in a modern form?

The Supra will be here soon. Not sure everyone will be happy with the final specs, but it's coming.

I would personally like to see the return of the mighty RX-7. I doubt it would sell well, but that's what I'd like to see.

to see.

I hadn’t heard they were bringing it back again! Very interesting! But to my way of thinking, I would only be interested in the original one.

One of my great disappointment in life happen in 2000 when I was in the market for a new car. I always wanted a Honda Civic but when I drove the 2000 model it wasn’t small enough it was too big. I said to myself “I can’t believe it but I’m not going to buy this car!“ Lucky for me I found the Toyota Echo Which was quite small possibly smaller than the original civic. I was very happy with it!

That would actually be the Caldina GT4 then.





Or the older Caldina GT-T





iirc, both models were AWD 3SGTE layouts.

Just like Acura failed hard with the "NSX," I'm sure Toyota isn't going to do well with the "Supra," especially since it'll lack a manual transmission and only have around 330 hp at a $60k price point.

Hard to argue that Although, I'm not sure the NSX was a hard fail. It puts up some numbers and apparently the driving experience is something else.

A good-looking, modern Honda Prelude Si or CRX Si would be nice, but that would require Honda to hire all-new design people, judging by their current models.

On a related note, I would love to see a Yaris hybrid model in the U.S., but that would require Toyota pull their head out of their ass & stop trying to shove the god-awful Prius models down our throats.

I would personally be estatic about seeing another MR2..

the ZZ30 was so damn fine and Toyota has a huge wealth of recourses to pull one back on the market somehow. but itll most likely be big.

Realistically Id like to see another Chevy Wagon akin to the old Caprice based ones. But knowing that they wont sell really well...

This, without the bloat that destroyed subsequent iterations of the iconic Z.

When your sales count is in the single digits and you offer 30k off the car and still can't sell them, that's pretty bad.

Again, can't argue that lol but from a driving perspective only, guys like Matt Farah drive it and then ramp and rave about how good it is. Something tells me it won't be the same with the new Supra.

This thing. I actually have one... a 1989 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo GT convertible. I'll be the first to say they're trash... horribly built, garbage reliability, creaky junk. But it is still to this day my absolute favorite looking car of all time. I've loved them since I was like... 2 years old.
