>Just keep being you

TVR:

Stage 1: Pick up where they left behind, resume production of the Tuscan and the Sagaris with their original and glorious AJP engines. Market them aggresively as hardcore track toys and cars for absolute alpha males so a ton of cucks will buy them to keep the brand afloat.

>If that works and I get some more money, proceed to Stage 2. If not, anhero.exe.

Stage 2: Design and build a car to compete with the Miata but designed from the get-go to not fall for the "hurrr durrr hairdresser ladies car meme". Meticulously copy the Miata. Maybe even comisison a 4-pot AJP engine if Al Meling is still kicking. Market it as the definitive cheap english roadster.

>If that works and I get some more money, proceed to Stage 3. If not, anhero.exe.

Stage 3: Bring back the Speed 12 but with modern technology to rekt some hypercars. Destroy the Burgerking lap record with it so an army of benchracing faggots will keep my brand awereness at a very high level.

>If that works and I get some more money, proceed to Stage 4. If not, anhero.exe, going through the pearly gates in a pearlescent twin-charged brand-new Speed 12 Red Rose Edition.

>Stage 4:

Develop an aggressive racing program aimed at dominating GT series around the world and a GT class-win at Le Mans.

I know TVR is making a comeback but I'm afraid it won't live up to it's fantastic past.

I'm sorry but in order to do this type of movement they will definitely sell out and release something absolutely horrible.

Subaru. A company that used to have:
>Turbo Legacy
>Turbo Outback
>Fast Foresters
>The Baja
>Manual options forever

It could use a revamp for people that actually like driving.

General Motors.

Bring back Pontiac and Saturn, with Saturn getting their own development, and Pontiac getting all RWD cars.
For Pontiac, a sister variant of the Alpha chassis Camaro will be made baring the "Firebird" name. The Firebird will be sold in Europe as the Opel Manta.
Vauxhall will be killed off and replaced with Opel thereby eliminating the redundancy department of redundancy.
A performance variant for both the Cruze and Sonic.
The Cruze SS will get a 250 HP LTG 2.0L Turbo and nurburgring tuned suspension.
The Sonic SS will get the 200 HP 1.6L Turbo from the Buick Cascada and a nurburgring tuned suspension.
High end, track focused variants, in a similar vein as the Camaro Z28. The hardcore track Cruze will be the Cruze Z26 (which gets a a 20 HP boost over the SS). The hardcore track Sonic will be the Sonic Z24 (which also gets a 20 HP boost over the SS).
The Malibu will also get the performance treatment. The Malibu will get an SS and Z34 models, powered by a 334 HP 3.6L V6, and a 420 HP twin turbo 3.6L V6 respectively. Both Malibu Performance models will be manual only and AWD.

Cadillac will be moved upmarket in an attempt to compete with Maybach instead of BMW, with Pontiac going after BMW, and Buick going after Mercedes. LeSalle will be brought back as an entry level luxury brand to take Buick's old spot.

Pontiac will bring back the Fiero basing the front suspension off the Camaro and the rear end section from the front of the Cadillac XTS. Engine options will be a 200 HP 2.5L Ecotec, 270 HP 2.0L Turbo, or a 340 HP 3.6L V6. Suspension tuning will be contracted to Lotus in the UK. Base price for a Fiero 2.5L will start around 22k with 32k being for a fully loaded V6 GT.

The Chevy SS will be killed off, but replaced with an Alpha-based Caprice (which will become the new Commodore). wagon and ute variants will also be sold.

I don't like driving though.

>Pontiac going after BMW

DONT DO THIS

CHEAP SPORTSCARS FOR THE WORKING CLASS

>The Cruze SS will get a 250 HP LTG 2.0L Turbo
Just give it the 280hp LDK like its European brother. Unless you're saving that for the Z26, of course.

throw in the solstice/sky and this is what I'd do with GM

That's the idea.

Yup. throw those in too.

>CHEAP SPORTSCARS FOR THE WORKING CLASS
Keep your panties on. The Firebird and Fiero exist for that reason. The new GTO will be shooting after the M6 though.

They're called kit cars. There's a whole industry of them. Some of the most well known are Superformance, Factory Five, Caterham, and Hawk.

Superformance is known for their Ford GT40 kits, which are so close to the original, body panels are interchangable and they're allowed into the GT40 registry. They's also known for Shelby Cobra kits, and Corvette Grand Sport kits. Their Cobra kits are more accurate but less practical that Factory Five's.
Factory Five made their name making Shelby Cobra kit cars. Now they also offer a 66 Shelby coupe kit (called the Type 65), a 33' Hot Rod kit (available with either a metal or fiberglass body), the GTM (a car designed by Factory five as an American Supercar), and the recently introduced 818 (one of the cheapest kit cars in the industry, An 818 kg mid engines sports car based around Subaru Impreza mechanicals (pic related)).
Caterham is a British company known for tiny Lotus 7 kit cars that weigh less than a paperweight.
Hawk is a UK company known for their Lancia Stratos kit cars

Come on user

He has the 200SX being the Silvia spiritual successor while the Silvia itself seems to be an MR sports car to compete with this user's Pontiac Fiero.

I know it;s just that I feel that those two cars should be riding the same platform, like they always did- maybe make the Silvia the more luxurious option and 200sx the sportier one

Did you just said that BMW should have FWD cars?

Yeah, but I was only referring to the concept vehicle (I should've pointed it out 2bh)
I'd keep doing what they're already doing as far as other vehicles since people are at least leasing them. I only care about that concept car, other than that I'd do something with Audi and VW.

BMW already manufactures mini coopers though.

Ford

Make no changes

Redesign model t sell it as a civic killer.

Semi-correct
the 200sx is the 180sx spiritual successor, while the S17 is basically a 350sx. It also helps differentiate the Silvia and Fairlady platforms by making the Silvia an MR and the Fairlady an FR. The 200sx is intended to do exactly what the 180sx did- budget sports car.
I suppose down the line a new Sil80 special edition could be made.

but they got gud with some of there newer hybrids. just not on 4cl engines

Jeep:
trim the lineup down to 3 cars

Wrangler
I like the current Wrangler and I think it works for what it's supposed to do. That being said the Wrangler has been being maarketed more and more towards casuals and people who use them as commuting cars. Only thing I would kind of change is the trim levels
>sport
For when you just want a Wrangler. No leather, basic interior. Cut as much excess as possible while not being bare-bones.
>rubicon
Sport base with offroad-oriented upgrades.
>sahara
Sport base but commuting-oriented upgrades
Overall I want the Wrangler to be simpler and more of a "back to basics" car marketed towards enthusiasts.

Cherokee
The Cherokee is not what it used to be, and that's ok. Jeep's costumers have been using their cars more and more for commuting and if that's the direction the Cherokee's taking, then so be it. I like the idea of the Cherokee being marketed towards the people buying Wranglers and never offroading them. Instead of watering down the Wrangler, make the Cherokee a fully-devoted crowd pleaser SUV (which it is, but I want it more so).
Different trim levels (maybe 3) of varying luxury upgrades

Renegade
I want the Renegade to be what the Cherokee used to be in the 90s. A compromise between a fun and capable car and a commuting car, for people interested in the sport of it, but not really intending to offroad all too much.
Biggest difference is build it off the Wrangler 2-door frame, instead of the Fiat one they're using.
Like the Wrangler, 3 trim levels:
>sport
basic interior to keep it cheap, but obviously keeping comfort and commutability in mind.
>trailhawk
light offroad upgrades built off the sport
>mojave
light interior upgrades with focus on comfort built up from the sport

>keeping the Macan and Panamera
>ever

>gm

GM was done already, and much better by this user.

If they could do without crossovers they'd be off the table in an instant, but a fucking racecar company wouldn't be making minivans if they weren't economically dependent on them. I'm trying to make the best of a bad situation by shoving them into Dakar.

Aww, no 944-esque el cheapo offering?

>Pontiac
Staff with collective of batshit insane engineers and let them do whatever they want

550, I'd imagine would run somewhere around $40,000 - $45,000, should've made that clearer, but that said, the MSRP of a 944 back in 85 was about 30k, which is almost double that now, so it's really not too far off.

I'll take over VW and fix this shit for the NA market

-Diesel is already canceled, so I didn't have to do that one
-Cancel all work on wagon variants immediately, let the current production cycles run out, nobody wants that shit
-Fire/blacklist all current marketing related employees and immediately start doing all marketing/PR processes in-house with an American staff
-Cancel Beetle
-Cancel Tuareg
-Immediately begin work on a hybrid-electric Passat (US variant)
-Immediately begin work on a hybrid-electric Golf/Jetta while stealing Audi technology for the full electric variants
-Refresh Tiguan with a shit ton of consumer technology, cancel the long wheelbase variant as it is pointless with the Atlas coming out
-Cancel the Passat CC
-Create a variant of the Atlas with a fat ass V8 to appeal to Amerifat audiences to take over the (small) gap from where the Tuareg used to be and put in some leather door trim or whatever shit people who buy that kind of thing are looking for
-Stop pushing the golf as anything but a cheap commuter car
-Give dealerships more autonomy, work to give more dealer incentives, and expand dealership coverage

maybe just maybe it wouldnt go bankrupt in 10 years in the US as it will now

Nah, Chryslers were always faster and better handling until they went full luxury in the late 60's.
They got the best engines first.

actually I take that back, instead of cancelling the beetle, it needs to be completely redesigned as a fairly cheap but chic car targeted 100% towards women. it can be a garbage ride but must have all modern electronics, be adorable, and be available in a convertable. the only people who buy beetles buy them as fashion statements, so a DCT with a 2.0liter turbo is absolutely useless. Make it slow, make it cheap, but make it cute. And target it to women exclusively. No men. Just women. Maybe have some gay celebrities in the commercials. But this "im a golf but worse than a golf" shit is just ridiculous. It should basically be a rounder Jetta with a cute interior.

hurstfags pls go

Once Mitsubishi becomes well-known again, then we switch gears and make "fun" cars. Off roaders and sporty cars. But first we must flood the market with cars so cheap the Koreans go broke.

Give the BRZ more power and a turbo

Tell the engineers to revise or clean-sheet redesign all models to be 20% lighter or we cut off their children's hands.

Brutally murder the design department and hire people who will bring back the bugeye look.

Grow a dick:

Kill Fiesta and Focus sedans
Bring in Fiesta and Focus coupes
Replace Mondeo/Fusion with Aus-Falcon
Re-engineer Mustang to be 10% smaller and 10-18% lighter
Re-engineer another Mustang that's 20% bigger, give it an obnoxiously large V8 and call it the Thunderbird
Bring back a ranger that's actually small
Build an RWD full-size crown vic
Sell a four-wheel-drive fiesta
make wagon versions of focus and falcon
Make a wagon-bodied two-door Raptor, call it the new Bronco

Kill all crossovers; make lifted versions of the AWD Focus, Fiesta, and Falcon wagons that are easy to bring back to standard ride height when the secondhand owners want a non-shit car.

Why would you intentionally make a shit car? Take the miata, outback, and mini approach and figure out how to convince morons to buy a great car so that the used market who understands it can get them cheap.

Why can't you just import the EU polo as an economy car and market the Golf as a premium compact LIKE THEY ALREADY DO IN EUROPE?

>Why would you intentionally make a shit car?

$

Americans don't want anything that small that isn't also adorably styled, like the fiat 500.

How do you know? Nobody has ever tried to sell a non-feminine small car on the North American market except for the fiesta, which is kicking ass in sales.

those are difficult to make cheap unless you cutback a lot. honestly cheapest way for a feiro to exist would be subcompact to kei size with an engine bay holding up to a medium size 4cyl

>Suzuki
Buy the chassis off other manufacturers. Buy drivetrains off other manufacturers. Don't give models names.
Hire all new engineers.
Start completely over, move some of the guys from the motorcycle division to head the car division. After designing enough cars restart the brand. Market it as a new beginning. Pretend like anything previously made never existed.

Falcon XB Coupe with modern materials.

Mustang Lineup gets expanded, sharing new RWD architecture to be shared with global Falcon and Lincoln.

- Mustang -
Ecoboost powers base coupe and revived SVO (limited run model with some GT/GT350 pieces).

N/A V6 powers base convertible.

GT/CS is revived for V8 Convertible only. There is no GT convertible or GT/CS coupe.

Mach 1 is revived with 3.5 Ecoboost from Raptor. Focusses more on exterior appearance and road manners than handling and track performance.

Boss 302 is revived as in-between GT and GT350 model, using tuned GT engine like last B302.

Cobra R returns as barely legal race car for the road. Essentially a GT350 stripped of nearly all creature comforts, even when compared to the GT350 R.

GT500/500 Convertible/500KR show up with god-knows-what engine. Rumored 5.8 V8? Ford GT-tier 3.5 Ecoboost V6?

Either the 2.0T, 2.3T, 2.7TT or 3.7N/A get paired with electric power for plug-in performance model.

- Falcon -
RWD Performance sedan to replace Fusion Sport, Taurus SHO. Uses 2.7TT and 3.5TT V6's.

- Focus -
Continues largely as is

- Fiesta -
Continues largely as is

- Bronco -
Returns with 3.2L I5 Diesel and 5.0 V8. Maybe 2.7TT for base consumption and wannabe's.

- Ranger -
Returns with 3.2L Diesel and 3.7NA V6. Possibly 2.7TT later.

Current SUV/CUV range stays the same.

Truck and Van lineup stay the same as well, with the exception of a "Crew" van added to the Transit and Transit Connect lineup. To compete with the MB Sprinter Crew and RAM ProMaster City Wagon.

Sell NSX: only comes in berlina black with camel interior. Comes with twin turbo J35. Pretty much identical to the car as it was in 2001 (pre-facelift but with updates).

Subaru

>bring Levorg 2.0 stateside with the 6 speed, call it the STi wagon
>also put WRX 2.0 in the Levorg and sell that as the WRX wagon
>put said 2.0 from the Levorg in the STi, maybe punch it out to a 2.5 for the US market because muh no replacement for displacement
>take the anemic 152hp 2.0 in the new Impreza, bore it out to a 2.5 for around 175hp as an option
>make a manual available in every model again in the US, including the H6 models
>work on bringing boxer diesels to compete with Mazda's new Skyactiv-D in the US
>immediately start development on a new SVX, this time with an available manual instead of the glass and paper mache 4 speed auto
>chop off the back of an Outback H6 and make it into a new BRAT/Baja to compete with the ridgeline
>either bore out the FA20 in the BRZ to a 2.5 or cram the EZ36 into it, whichever is the easier way to bring the BRZ to the upper 200hp range, sell it alongside the regular BRZ
>bring back the Legacy GT and Outback XT
>Crosstrek XT, maybe

Mazda
>Mazdaspeed 6 with the new turbo motor from the CX-9 or whatever it's called now and a 6 speed manual AWD
>Mazdaspeed 3
>a real goddamn coupe Miata in the US market after about 27 years of literally everyone begging Mazda for it
>bring the Mazda 6 wagon stateside WITH A MANUAL and Speed6 version
>bring the Mazda 2 hatch stateside since scion is dead and the iA was a useless subcompact sedan anyway, and super fucking ugly
>just make more FDs instead of whatever RX9 bullshit they're cooking up, two trims-
>el cheapo NA version, balls to the wall turbo version ala FC
>develop a new RWD Cosmo for both Japan and the US, have a 3 rotor like before and contract out LS3s from Chebby as an option, not auto only
>If they have to, bring back Eunos for the RX7 and Cosmo for cafe bullshit like how Dodge separated themselves from Ram, or bring a kei car here in limited quantities to offset the rotaries, same only reason for the Aston Martin Cygnet's existence
