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.

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).

>sell the SX4, literally a hatchback with awd
>not selling the Swift, which would've saved Suzuki's ass.

To be fair, Suzuki also shot themselves in the foot by selling rebadged Daewoo shitboxes.
>>14918599
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-

-Tuned Port pre-'93 B-Bodies (fuck the Impala tax)

>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.
>>14918634
The concept actually had a Turbo, but it never made it past concept stage.

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.

>>14919154
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.
>>14919179
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

Thanks that's sick I'm looking into it, never heard of it. But I should've said new as well
>>14919424
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.
>>14919469
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'.
>>14919179
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....

No. The Holden Cruze was to replace the Holden Astra, which it did. It had no bearing on the Torana being canceled.

A Dodge Charger Ute does exist, from the factory.

>PROTECT DA CORBETTE!
>>14922763

>>14922772
That's because the chassis was better. Had it been forced to share the Corvette chassis, it would've been slower than any C2.
>>14922782
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.
>>14922817
>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.

As an aside, even with Pontiac getting the Firebird as compensation, Pontiac still wanted their own sports car and they saw their chance to push one through the GM brass when the oil crisis hit.
Around 1975, they told GM brass the P-car would be a 2 seater economy car that just happened to be fun to drive. The P-car was released to the public in 1984 as the Pontiac Fiero.
To keep up the facade of the Fiero being an economy car, certain concessions had to be made.
The front suspension was stolen from a Chevrolet Chevette, while the entire rear engine cradle/suspension was stolen from the FWD A-body and W-body projects.
But Pontiac had a plan. They took the profits off the Fiero sales and dumped it into R&D. This had 2 effects.
1: the car got better and better as the years went on.
2: to the beancounters, it looked like the Fiero couldn't make a profit.
In 1988, the R&D gave the Fiero a bespoke suspension. 1989 was supposed to be a carryover year with 1990 debuting the second generation Fiero. So by 1988, the second gen Fiero was just about done and finalized (pic related). The 2.5L Iron Duke was going to be dropped for Oldsmobile's hot 2.3L Quad 4 making 150 HP. The 2.8L V6 was to be dropped in favor of a 230 HP 3.2L DOHC variant. Problem was, combined with that low weight and proper suspension, the second gen V6 Fiero prototypes were beating Corvette times on GM's test track. As anyone knows, this is a huge no-no at GM. So GM killed the entire Fiero project in 1988. The 3.2L V6 was eventually released as the 210 HP 3.4L LQ1 V6 in the first gen W-body cars in 1991.
>>14923350
