>>Honda Fit Si
But that does exist, just not in murrica.

The TRD 86 you're looking for will be the BMW-Toyota collab that's taking years to come out

RWD Probe V8

I want subaru to make a new brat. Not that baja abomination.

A mustang?

RWD Celica GT-S Turbocharged I4 Manual

Another Lexus IS series with an I6 RWD Manual

Dodge putting turbochargers in everything again

A new CRX


>tfw Burgerstanian and miss out on all the cool stuff

Chevrolet Lumina Z50
>Chevy ACTUALLY thought about it

rip

The new Supra looks more like a GT-R/NSX competitor than anything else.

So a soulless by-the-numbers lap time machine packed with every conceivable electronic gizmo Toyota can design and priced 40k more than anyone is interested in paying.

>A new CRX
Isn't that basically the CR-Z? Is there anything lacking about it?

Fits look like literally rat faces.

>e39 m5 wagon
>abarth 124 with a factory 200whp tune
it'll be a great used tuner car bargain but, damnit fiat, you could have made a legend

Not that fat and popup headlights

Ted Cruz

He does have a funny face

a sporty affordable mid-rear engined 5.0L v8 powered ford

oh yeah with popups of course

Small, slim, cheap, american econo-sedans.
I want an alternative to civics and corollas.
Already in production but I'd like the civic type R in america.
Integra or Prelude again.
Muscle cars are fuck huge, so I'd like new pony cars... small rwd coupes (evens sedans) with big blocks, or at least just power, for cheap... no I don't want hot hatches with weird front bias awd. There's the Series 1, and 2 M and they are good, so why can't we have a non luxury version of that from an american manufacturer.
A new Supra.
A new Silvia, the 350/370 is pigfat and I hate the interior.
I'd kill crossovers.
Ford suvs that don't look like eggs.

A light suv from dodge, I was looking for a new suv and I only liked the durango but it was huge and expensive for what it was gonna do. The grand cherokee is cool and all but I'd prefer a non-fiat non-grand cherokee again (so I guess the 4 door Wrangler, just a gentler suspension and rear seats that aren't just a bench).

Jesus christ mid engine v8s have the best fucking handling of anything ever.

If I'm retarded please inform but what is this? Looks amazing

That's the stuff

Agreed, the world needs a new metro

literally the original Metro's descendant

1967 ford mach 2 concept

The motherfucking Pontiac Banshee.
>Was actually scheduled for production in 1966/1967
>killed to protect the Corvette
>would've been available with either a 225 HP Sprint OHC I6 or a Pontiac 400ci V8.

...

Zodiac Killer

...

>tfw no old I6

I just want to hoon a carb'd I6 for dat exhaust note.

...

New Subaru Brumby that they use as the base for their re-entry into the WRC.

Tfw it almost made it Stateside, but the dipshit they had as Suzuki US branch's CEO said Americans didn't need a hatchback.

>sell the SX4, literally a hatchback with awd
>not selling the Swift, which would've saved Suzuki's ass.
>not shoving a turbo on the Kizashi and a 6 speed manual.

To be fair, Suzuki also shot themselves in the foot by selling rebadged Daewoo shitboxes.

Ah man, the Kizashi was so almost good.
I mean, it had a 2.4l i4 engine and optional AWD, but fucking hell, the AWD was only available with a damn CVT.

And, as you said, no tarbo version.

Older stuff or in-production-now stuff? Whatever-

>older
-Tuned Port pre-'93 B-Bodies (fuck the Impala tax)
-300hp Crown Vics (Marauder doesn't count)

>sort of older
-Cruze SS - with at least the go-fast hardware of the Cobalt SS (the 2.0T, with a 6M, some brakes too i guess), and manufactured from near the start of the Cruze line so there'd be used ones already.
-Freed from Mercedes, Chrysler-Mitsubishi joint venture a RWD thingy around the 4B11 engine - Mitsubishi gets a new Starion, Dodge gets a Venom or whatever, Chrysler gets a Crossfire replacement.

>now
-Honda S2000 built around the euro Civic R engine (gimme dat tarbo)
-Ford takes the Mustang platform/factory and:
-1) stretches the wheelbase for a new Fairlane (large-ish four-door sedan/two-door four-seat vert)
-2) stretches the width for a new Thunderbird (2+2 coupe/vert)
-3) shrinks the wheelbase to make a two-seater (fuck the 370Z)
-4) stick the tarbo V6 in there as the base/middle engine while you're at it (why the fuck not)

Oh and the Huracan in RWD with H-pattern shift. Pic sorta related.

The concept actually had a Turbo, but it never made it past concept stage.

and then we have the failed VW/Suzuki joint venture, where no one in either side liked each other's guts.

The Germans are THAT autistic.

Ford Bronco

New production

RWD CRX that's not as shit as CRZ

FTFY

I'm going to have to split this into manufacturers, so:

Toyota:

>Corolla with a 2.0T off the Lexus crossover thingy, Double Wishbone suspension all around and 4 wheel discs.
>GT86 without a fucking Boxer and the same Turbo inline four off the current Lexus IS
>5.0 NA V8 tuned by Yamaha in the Lexus F cars with 8,500 rpm as the rev line.
>new MR-2 car with the 3.5 V6.
>Supra with a Twin Turbo V8 instead of the hybrid shit.
>Tacoma and Tundra with Diesel engine options.
>Prius Diesel/Turbo with supercapacitor technology off the TS050 race car, because fuck it, LSD and 6 speed stick.
>Ultra light car based on the Kikai.
>Yaris with 1.2 Turbo and a 6 speed (no, the Scion iA doesn't count because it's a fucking Mazda 2)
>An actual fucking Land Cruiser with real off roading pedigree.
>Shut down CALTY and make the designers learn from Pininfarina and Italdesign.
Akio said he wanted to change his brand's reputation? well, there you go.

Mazda:
>Rotary engine with all the bullshit fixed.
>Mazdaspeed versions of their cars again.
>Skyactiv Turbo engines.

>Rotary Miata.
>RX Vision with 4 Rotor engine.

E39 M5 tourings
Diesel Ford Expeditions (current generation)

Successor to the AE86 with an inline 4

New 5-cylinder Audi

New Nissan Silvia

Mitsubishi Pajero in the US

The Corolla thing is very possible considering you could just swap the rear suspension off a new Scion iM into the back of a Corolla and it'll bolt in, and the iM's sister car, the Scion tC used a 2.5L variant of the new 2.0L Turbo. They have all the parts to do it.
>fine
>fine
>wouldn't that defeat the point of an MR2? A small, cheap, fun economy car that just happens to be MR?
>why not the Yamaha N/A V8 instead with an optional supercharged variant?
>ok
>so long as the diesel actually meets emissions, that'd be cool.
>meh
>From 2000-2005 there was a TRD Vitz available in Japan with a 150 HP turbocharged 1NZ-FTE. Why not just dig that engine up and use it instead?
>agreed
>YES! A MILLION FUCKING TIMES YES!

>a fixed rotary will never happen.
>yes
>yes
>yes, again, so long as it meets emissions
>never gonna happen
>not gonna happen.


>YES! That'd be awesome! Pic related.
>YES!
>Would have to be an all new V6.
>so much new shit, including a usable platform, would have to be created that I could never see it working.
>That would be cool.


>Interesting
>They tried it basing it off a Ferrari F430 and were going to put it in production until Ferrari got a stick up their ass and said no
>YES! But why not name it the Scorpion as it originally was in the American market. Engines eould be the Fiat 1.4L Turbo and the 2.4L Tigershark.
>Definitely possible, but the V8 would be one of Maserati's 4.7L models. Ferrari build Maserati's V8's anyways. Besides. You can already buy a Ferrari engined 300C. It's called the Maserati Quattroporte (yes the most recent Quattroporte is based off the 300)

>yes
>Yes
>No. Make it Alfa's 230 HP 1.7L Turbo 4 and I'd be down for that


>unlikely
>maybe. Would a restyled Smart ForFour work for you?
>never gonna happen.

thought that was a GTR from the thumbnail

Proper coupe Abarth 124 and Miata
Supercharged 86 and turbo'd BRZ options
New MR2, S2000
Brand new Evo line
A proper Nissan 390 Z or whatever

What the fuck?
GM gave it to chevy so chevy could use it as fucking concept car?
So fucking retarded, GM can die choking on camel dicks.

It was known as the Chevy Code 130R concept. Used the Alpha chassis and the 1.4L Turbo from a Chevy Sonic/Holden Barina

The idea of the concept was to judge public reaction. If raction was enough, they said they'd put it into production as a competitor to the Toyobaru twins.

It got the same treatment as the Nissan IDx concept, lots of publicity, lots of people got excited, then it was made clear it would never be made

>cars you wished were produced
Cadillac should have strapped up and actually produced the Elmiraj concept, that car would have been fucking epic

An actual successor to the CRX please

Honda crz si without the hybrid bullshit

Cheap mid engined sports car

Pretty much every cadillac concept

Thanks that's sick I'm looking into it, never heard of it. But I should've said new as well

The AMC Gremlin was built off the Javelin platform. Most of them were stuck with I6 engines. The Gremlin X was the performance model though and came with a 5.0L 304ci V8. And no it's not a Ford, Chrysler, or GM V8. It was AMC's own V8. Aftermarket support isn't as prevalent for them as with any of the others since AMC's in general weren't as popular.

I recently started paying attention to them after a very recent episode of "All Girls Garage" on Discovery Velocity featured one that had an AMC 360 V8 swap. Season 5, episode 4.

Power wise, they made 175 hp.

it was known as the King of the Compacts and in some ways, the original Hot Hatch, before the VW GTI in 74'.

Blasphemy, it should have been the a9z Torana but it never will be, thanks GM for fucking that up for us and giving us the Holden cruze, fucking genius....

Seriously pic related is what replaced the a9z Torana after GM stole it to make it into a concept car for chevy.

.

>and people wonder why everyone hates America

Peugeot 205 Mi16

>wigmore

A rwd/awd compact sedan/coupe/5door-3door hatchback 6sp manual or 5 speed tiptronic with a naturally aspirated 4 litre v8 with cylinder deactivation/eco mode making 300hp 300tq on 87 octane starting at 25k

the world will bow to Mopar, GM, and Ford.

kek good luck poorfag

>Seriously pic related is what replaced the a9z Torana after GM stole it to make it into a concept car for chevy.
No. The Holden Cruze was to replace the Holden Astra, which it did. It had no bearing on the Torana being canceled.

BM series Mazdaspeed 3 / MPS

God, I would buy one in a heartbeat, but Mazda's taking the RX route because triangles.

Your favourite cars.

They replaced an Opel with a "global" Chevy? Well, that's not very nice of them. And I like the Cruze!

you know they made ONE e39 m5 touring?

>Is there anything lacking about it?
Speed.

yeah, it was for bmw's ceo at the time
they realized their mistake by the e60 generation and make an e60 m5 wagon but by then it was too late, they missed their golden years

Supposedly there are at least 2.

>tfw they actually made a TRD FR-S
>was just stock with a body kit
>no performance improvements at all

Sadface.

...

Dodge Charger Ute. If it could fit a Europallet, I could be driving a Scat Pack for less than 40K, not get raped by taxes (because ''work vehicle''), drive it on LPG (73 eurocents per liter, 2.80 euros per gallon), be cheap as fuck.

Now if only the Scat Pack came with the superior R/T front end insteaqd of the ugly SRT one, it'd be perfect.

>new insight
Only if it's as light as the first generation, and manual too.

>non-shit Fiat 500 Abarth
what does this mean?
is this the FCA a shit meme?

Ford to do a new GT500, with an Ecoboost V8 (a twinturbo Voodoo).

Saving that. Thank you so much, user.

>heavy
>hybrid
>ugly
>pigfat

And a completely insane 7 litre V8 big brother. Midengined Mustang and GT40, side by side, would've been sex.

I seriously don't understand why this and the Corvette couldn't have just shared a platform. Banshee I6 as the entry level, Corvette as the high-end sportscar.

Mid engined Del Sol would've been fine too.

A new affordable mid-engine roadster from GM. Basically rebirth of the Fiero.

A new Trans Am with classic firebird emblazened on the hood. Make it not shit. Don't just copy paste the Camaro and put a firebird on it.

A Dodge Charger Ute does exist, from the factory.
In the 1980's, the Charger became a sporty coupe variant of the Dodge Omni, and there was an Ute version of the Charger back then.
Meet the Dodge Rampage.
>FWD
>96 HP 2.2L SOHC 8V I4

Because even with the I6, the Banshee was lighter and faster than the Corvette.
>PROTECT DA CORBETTE!

I meant a 2016 Charger.

That's because the chassis was better. Had it been forced to share the Corvette chassis, it would've been slower than any C2.

Except Pontiacs slotted above Chevy's anyways in GM's hierarchy so why not make the Banshee the halo sports car?
John DeLorean pushed HARD to get the Banshee into production but GM brass said no at every turn. Eventually a compromise was reached. Said compromise was the Pontiac Firebird.

>why not make the Banshee the halo sports car?
Because John DeLorean may have been a great man in the automotive business - but he was no Zora.

TRD car with trubo'd prius drive train. Low end electric torque + turbo = take my money. I may even just put up with a turbo prius.

Porsche:

>New 924 Coupe based on the Panamera.
>Manual 911 GT3 991
>New 914 based on the VW Ecosport concept car, mini Boxster with a Diesel engine or Boxer 4.

>RR VW Up, a true successor to the VW Beetle.
>RR VW New Beetle with boxer 4 on the back.
>W12 Nardo being built
>W12 GTI concept car becomes limited production vehicle.
>New VW Transporter bus for the US Market
>Amarok for the US market.
>V10 Diesel powered VW fullsize truck based on the Touareg.

the 2nd gen wasn't very cheap compared to the AW11 and ZW30 though.

Alfa engine off the 4C? sure, why not?

If Renault brought back their cars to the US, maybe i'd a Twingo.

More Mainstream market cars that have gullwing doors.
