What car brands would you like to see revived?
>>28845320
>>28845320Plymouth, Pontiac, AMC, and I would like to see Yamaha build a car.
>>28845320AMC, Saturn, Geo
>>28845320Pontiac and Holden, but I wouldn't trust gm to do it properly. Also Autozam!
>>28845320None. There is not a single brand that I'd like to see come back that I would subject to the humiliation of becoming a soulless electric transport pod.
>>28845323What a machine that is. 32 valve 8 cylinder that would run away from anything on the road.
>>28845320>What car brands would you like to see revived?Pontiac: Make it a performance brand, lean into the racing heritage. I'd love to see a new Firebird roadster to compete with Miata the way the Solstice did. Jaguar: Technically they still exist; but everyone running the company needs to be lined up and shot and then the entire company should be given to Jeremy Clarkson.
>>28845347Richard Petty was such a boss, I love reading old 60s car magazines that gas him up. What a cool motherfucker.
>>28845392They were all powered by Olds, Buick or Chevy at the end, they died for a reason.
>>28845320AuburnLancia (as in proper ones)Saab
>>28845362But Saturn would be good as a generic EV
>>28845527>Auburnit doesn't mean anything to anyone>Lancia (as in proper ones)everyone pronounces it wrong and only knows one model>SaabVolvo mogs Saab in every possible way
>>28845527>SaabThey died for a very good reason, their shitheap cars couldn't turn a profit even with GM help. Also /o/ loves to screech about overcomplicated yet fragile European cars, but saabs took that a step further by making shit overcomplicated for the sake of quirky design.
>>28845320Mazda
>>28845547Sure, because 900 was so fragile.
>>28845648It indeed was, the ass backwards engine layout thankfully made clutch swaps easy, because you're doing a lot of them especially on a turbo saab. Rusts like a 70s jap car, electronics never really work and cracked heads were common.
Studebaker. I don't like em but they were at least interesting.
>>28845393
>>28845320I am absolutely furious that Electric Cars exist which means not every single car needs to look like a faggot aerodynamic egg and yet we cant have an electric pic related
>>28845320Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Ford, Opel, Peugeot
>>28845721EVs sit on top of thousands of batteries with a crazy cooling system encased in a safety cage. You could make that an EV, but not at the level of modern ones. EVs are awkwardly tall for a reason.
>>28845725I wonder if solid state batteries can change this.Mercedes is already doing real world road tests with an electric sedan that does 750 mi on a charge.
>>28845352>GeoI presume you mean Isuzu?
>>28845725>EVs are awkwardly tall for a reasonyeah the reason is car companies are all to lazy to design a battery layout as anything other than a skateboard. ever noticed how every ev has a frunk? they don't need it. put some batteries there. take them out from where people's legs go. drop the roof 4 inches.
>>28848040Yes, let's put all the highly flammable batteries in the crumple zones.
>>28845390>32 valve 8 cylinder that would run away from anything on the road.For a time, "it's a doozy" stuck around in the public lexicon because of that.
>>28845320Alfa Romeo :(
>>28845320Vanden Plas / Austin. Not because I want modern vehicles from that brand, I just want them to have a heritage branch that manufactures the several NLA parts that physically don't exist anymore.
>>28848049yeah that's so much sketchier than putting the jumbled mess of gasoline and fire that ICE cars put there
>>28845320I miss Saab so much. You can make these things fuckin fast so easily. Really cool interiors too.
