Production retro list!
Trying to enumerate all the modern "retro" vehicles in production, here's what I've come up with so far, feel free to add. Must have styling cues based on the original, not just a resurrected nameplate, this disqualifies cars such as Chrysler 300 for example.
1. Chevrolet HHR
2. Chrysler PT Cruiser
3. Ford Mustang
4. Toyota FJ Cruiser
5. Volkswagen New Beetle
6. Porsche
7. Jeep Wrangler
8. MINI Cooper
I included Porsche because of the strong cues to the original 911 in their current model. I'm on the fence about Jaguar. Most of the new Jags have very heritage like front fascia treatments but is there enough beyond the front end to qualify them as retro to their predecessors?

I don't see any styling cues harking back to the orig Charger on the new one. Camaro will qualify once its in production. Many cues from the old Camaro on the new one, like with Mustang. Trans Am is a coin toss as to whether or not they will build it.
