    Fiat Croma. It's one of most beautiful wagons out there.

    VW Golf 6. IMO it still looks modern, fresh and more pretty than Golf 7; I don't know why VW kept it just for 4 years.

    Rover as a brand. It's a pity why Chinese people turned Rover into a ''Roewe."

    Citroen C5. This car needs just a facelift to be up to date. Also one of more beautiful cars Citroen made.

    Fiat Croma:
    Don't ask anyone at Fiat to bring it back, most likely they'll bring it back as an ugly rolled up turd looking thing like the Fiat 500CC.
    Golf 6:
    Yeah
    Rover:
    Rover's long gone, they didn't go bankrupt with British Leyland, but they fell into a deathspiral that they'd never recover from when British Leyland went bankrupt.
    Their last cars were completely terrible, and because of their history of sharing relations with BL, if they returned to the Western market, they'd get no sales due to their reputation, which wasn't the best with British Leyland.

    The Cadillac Eldorado (Or ETC as it was called that in 1992-2002) Why we need it because we don't really have any coupes these days.

    At least Chinese should change their stupid name ''Roewe.''

    Roewe is how the Chinese say 'Rover', they're only going on sale in China anyways so I'm not sure why you give such a shit.

    Not really.

    SAIC never acquired the rights over the "Rover" name. Ford did and then, I guess, the marque was sold to Tata Motors together with Land Rover and Jaguar.

    "Roewe" is a fusion of the chinese words rong (honor) and wei (prestige).

    I wonder where is love for original Pinto? With the fuel tank issue and all that :D

    Nobody is fan of AMC Gremlin either, despite it being small and not horrible heavy car with V8 engine.

    They are, like Viper's door sills are good for frying eggs :D For some reason all interesting looking cars tend to have some 'things' in them :p

    That's a concept, and I'm pretty sure C5 isn't coming back (and it's good, since it is better for a car to be gone forever than to return as something vomit inducing).

    Ehh...the sales figures would say otherwise. They killed it off in the first place because nobody wanted to buy a new Viper. Yeah, plenty of people like it, but people who could afford a viper likely didn't want a car that punished them with spine-shattering suspension, an ultra-loud engine that blows your eardrums out, and next to no comfort features (keep in mind most people buying at that price range are quite old).

    And don't give me that safety BS, Chrysler, you can engineer a new viper that complies with safety regs any day. We all know the real reason you stopped selling the viper was because you're going bankrupt from selling almost exclusively muscle cars that nobody wants to buy and you couldn't afford to keep making this car.

    Ironically, most of Chrysler/Dodge's lineup is still muscle cars since they have killed off 2/3 of their commuters.

    I'm pretty convinced fiat sales are the only thing keeping chrysler afloat at this point...

    I can't be the only one who remembers this. I think Chrysler should have taken suggestions from Hot Rod Magazine's April 2008 issue. Of course, the whole thing turned out to be (predictably) an April Fool's joke, and Chrysler was nowhere close to a financial position to put half of the proposed lineup into production at the time, but they would have at least been more interesting than the Dodge Caliber!*

    *The Dodge Caliber is, itself, at least mildly interesting. It does not, however, have anywhere near the name recognition/icon status as the Pacer or Gremlin.

    Also the Viper was too Ferrari like and not Corvette enough, now you might be thinking I'm fucking crazy, and I am, but that's not the point, the point is the Viper was too expensive, the thing costed $87,895 brand new while the Corvette costed $55,450, also another problem it had was it was from Dodge, not that many people really think Dodge should be a sports car brand, at most they are Blue Collar.
