Retro/Return cars

Thought with all the auto makers doing retro cars, and bringing back car names it would be fun to see other cars people might like to see.
So what car name would you like to see brought back, or retro style of a new car, such as our great looking car. Any auto maker not just chevy

Me I would like to see the Nova come back or even Cutlass

They don't make Oldsmobiles any more. This is a 74 Cutlass. How about an Olds 442?

I would like to see the Mustang come back! Oh wait, it never left. Personally I would love to see the return of the Barracuda. Too bad there is no more Plymouth. Maybe it will launch as a Chrysler some day.

Retro

I agree, the cutlass and the nova were both great cars.It was sad when they quit making oldsmobiles. They made some really nice cars.

Lots of my buddies want to see the Fiero come back. When the Lotus Elise came out there was speculation that it might come over here as a Fiero. Personally, I'd rather just leave the Fiero name alone.

I'd like to see a GTO done right. Not some 15 year old Australian car that was about to be cancelled but something retro, more like the prototype they did back in 1999.

I've said that exact same thing about the 69 Camaro for several years. I feel like they paid good homage to the 69 with the 09, but still... An exact body would be great! And just think of the aftermarket GM would have selling to both new and old owners! 69 Camaros and Fierbirds are a year to themself. Not like the 68, not like the 70. GM should think about the aftermarket and do it.
