    I think you kinda get the gist of this post. So here's my list:

    • Lower the new NSX's price to maybe $90,000 or so
    • Make all A90 Supras 2JZ powered (I like BMW but come on)
    • Make new BMW grilles smaller
    • Make new NSXs RWD (it is a hybrid so I don't know if it'll work)
    • Make Ford, as a company, less arrogant
    • Bring back the WRX 22b
    • Make a McLaren sedan or SUV (if Lamborghini did it, why not?)
    • Make the 4 series just the 3 series coupe and get rid of the ugly 4 series gran coupe (the 4 door one)
    • Facelift the Accord coupe (if the sedan gets a full lift, the coupe should too)
    • Bring back the Accord wagon, or estate depending on where you're from

    Pop up headlights/ hidden headlights?
    for people thinking about pedestrian safety, it can probablly retract like the rolls royce hood ornament. (Expensive? yes but many cars are already ridiculously expensive)
    or those like the high end barstows lol

    1. Buick is popular in China.
    2. Pontiac is just a slightly fancier Chevrolet.

    Unlike Pontiac, it has the right kind of image and plays in a booming sector.

    How many of those "people" were there?

    How many young people buy cars? How many of them want sporty?

    How many of those just buy Hondas and Mazdas and such?

    How many of them would just buy a Chevy if it got a bit more sporty styling?

    i do get what you mean by chevy can do sporty stuff too but
    considering how big the car scene is, i would say alot, thought i cant say exactly how many
    i do agree that alot of young people buy ordinary hondas and mazdas, considering how popular they are

    according to google,
    (not precise)
    mustang age group: 50
    camaro age group: 53
    challenger age group: 51
    ferrari age group: 43
    lamborghini age group: 47
    focus rs age group: 45
    911 age group: 56
    point is, young people would want a car that is sporty but not fast, considering none of these are particularly slow

    -bring back saab (and get them away from GM)
    -bring back holden (maybe split them from GM as well, perhaps even have them designing EV architecture)
    -bring the ford barra engine back, and make a mustang-based falcon (and bring cars back to ford in general)
    -tell mitsubishi to grow some balls and bring back at least the galant, they're in serious need of some kind of flagship model.
    -storm the geelong ford plant and start producing the series IV AU Falcon.
