I’ll be the outlier and say Plymouth, with the Neon as a small electric CUV to compete with VW’s ID3, the Voyager as a small 3rd row Crossover Plug-in hybrid, and the Barracuda as an electric convertible as their halo car.

I would love to see Pontiac come back and used as a testbed for all the interesting and different ideas that will never make it into production under any other GM brand. Think about cars like a turbo TransAm, a new Ferraro, a retro-modern GTO, a new Solstice, and yes even a Bronco/Jeep rival - the new and better…

Holden, utes for everyone

If Saturn comes back, I demand that all of the models be named for the planet’s moons. The sporty Saturn Iapetus, the spacious Saturn Tethys, etc.

Is this too obvious in the current market?

I generally find the whole dead brand thing an exercise in trying to make something work that isn’t meant to work. But there is one exception for me:

AMC Rebel Machine. The muscle car that time forgot. Also the Hornet SC360. Big engine in a tiny econobox. 

Here are a few that you don’t hear about any longer.

All the roadsters I’ve owned. None of them had much in the way of performance, but all were a hoot to drive:

The New Generation of Oldsmobile... The Trofeo!

Not sure if it ever sold, but one of the oddest and coolest cars from PGR2, the Trident Iceni. A two seat coupe or convertible with a 6.6L DIESEL engine. Either 397 hp/700 tq or 660 hp/1000tq and a 2,000 mile range. And it’s beautiful.

This comment.  Exactly.

Mazda-ish, all whie running worse and costing more. What a deal!

I’d say that’s a step in the right direction

I’ve been working on the railroad
All the live-long day
I’ve been ignoring Adobe
Oh no Flash just went away!

Here, we’ll just install a knockoff
Why ever do things the right way?
Can’t you hear the captain shouting,
“China Number One!”

I’m picturing a control room illuminated by the greenish glow from dozens of small monochrome CRT monitors. All input/output is handled by 360k floppies. At least half the workstations are running Asteroid.

So, swingers?

99.99% of China government computers run 100% pirated software. 

Sweet. Now pirated, easily hackable, non supported code is running actual real life trains with real life people whose lives depend on it. No way this can go wrong.

Plenty of machines from 20 years ago have use DOS or Win95 indeed and use obscure drivers that don’t work on newer machines. Or it’s embedded and just cannot be upgraded because nobody thought about it, that it would be needed.

Then again, if a company uses systems that are deemed ‘insecure’ but they are only running…
