Who else am I leaving out here?
Ryan Powell
Alfa romeo could be one. They went old names for the sake of nostalgia and fiat platform for their small cars, which alfa was always known for.
Nolan Anderson
B-but muh quadrofolio
Levi Hughes

GMC.
They lost their balls a long time ago
Connor Diaz
>misspells it How accurate, even if it wasn't on purpose.
Kayden Rivera
> Implying GMC was ever relevant. About as relevant as Holden or AMC.
Aiden Reyes
Damn phone what the fuck is it called? Worst car name since the koinsegg mcsmeg Sadly they are the worst of the euro bunch ATM quality dropped through the floor horror interiors as well :(
Everything started to go to shit around 1999-2002
Owen Johnson
Plz no it hurts too much.
Holden and Ford au made some awesome cars right up until they died this year and no direct replacement from Ford or GM is the worst kick in the gut since the GFC cull post 2006

Juan Reed

Samuel Campbell

Oliver Gonzalez
who else aren't you leaving out
Ryder Bailey
The 911 is still a modern classic and the 718 is an affordable feat of engineering. They are also extremely reliable and best out almost all of the shitbox manufacturers like Nissan in reported engine problems. Just because they sell muh crossover doesn't mean that they're bad, they're just trying to keep their income up because women love crossovers.

>beautiful design They just looked like everything else in the time period. retards don't seem to realize at a given time most cars look alike.
Eli Rogers
>Peougot But they went to utter shit with the 206, though they seem to be getting back on track.
Elijah Flores
Mitsubishi Then: >Turbo stuff everywhere >Eclipse (US), Evo and FTO (overseas) >Decent trucks and SUVs
Now: >Mirage which takes cheap to new levels >Lancer, need I say more >Literally everything else (in America at least) is a fucking crossover
They were never great, but they were often good, and their lineup today is pedestrian in the worst way.
Brody Bell
Why does every modern car have to have the curved look in the hood/windshield/roof with grooves on the sides? Probably a nostalgiafag thing to ask and not already understand by now but I'm sure there's a real reason in the safety/aerodynamics and not just modern aesthetic shit for marketing
Lincoln Perry
Ped safety.
Crush zones.
Structural and packaging requirements.
Don't worry the next set of safety requirements will require driver aids and autonomous driving assists you can't turn off on public roads.
Oh and driver cams and driver monitoring as well as remote control and kill switch.
Half of the super exotic and expensive cars already have this shit it just has to trickle down into base models for it to be considered standard.
As if iPads in the dash wherent bad enough
Jason Murphy
Old Holdens were just 2nd hand muscle cars, never as cool or fast as their American counterparts.
AMC made some cool designs, can't deny that.
GMC is stupid.

OOO OOO I KNOW THIS
The sloped design of the windshield and thickened A Pillars makes the roof structurally stronger while saving weight, allowing the car to pass US safety regulations that require the roof to support the dead weight of the car resting on it while upside down.
Dominic Garcia
Monaro was just a smaller muscle (Like the Nova), and the Torano isn't even muscle.
They never made any legendary cars like American muscle.
Alexander Thomas
AMC was third rate garbage much worse than the big 3
