    The Chevy Cobalt. It wasn't necessarily a "good" car but at least it didn't weigh over 3000 pounds or have a 1.4L turbo. Also, its existence offends the Internet Car Intelligentsia (you know, the people who thought the Cruze was an automatic upgrade over the Cobalt because it had a better interior and fuel economy, even though it took them years to come up with one more powerful than the original base Cobalt, and when they did it was even slower than the 1.4T because diesels are heavy?)

    Yes and no.

    @MisterKenneth is correct - Holden is still active, but has been reduced to importing cars from other GM plants and rebadging them.

    Hopefully though, GM might throw the AUS market a bone by bringing back the El Camino in other markets, based on modified current Camaro underpinnings. That would likely be rebaged as the HQ Ute, and the van would likely follow.

    That'd be awesome...
    ...if GM actually cared for reviving the El Camino.

    In fact, every Lincoln revival today is actually one of the best, great job FORD! (Ford Motor Company, to be exact, and owns Lincoln.)
    Also, going back to my MG comment:

    Sure, it wasn't a success, but it's likely that it could do better if it came back, it was after all a very recognizable modern MG vehicle, I'd just like to see what it would offer that the original didn't.

    I also think the Continental has one of the most coziest looking interiors in any modern car today. Just look at those seats.

    That's why most of the time, I compliment Ford. FCA and GM... I don't want to explain.
    Speaking of FMC, maybe revive Mercury? It was a very unique company from Ford, too bad that it was the only one dead.

    I think that the Neon wasn't that special, although this could be a consideration for Dodge...

    Oh yes. A nice little American sports car that can go against things like the Subary BRZ and Nissan 350z could be good.

    The Neon is actually around today as rebadged Fiat Tipo.


    However, do not tell Donald Trump which markets has it though.

    It'd be a interesting take. I would've chose the Dakota, but it's pretty much the Ram's brother. The Stealth is something else. Also, I will be BRUTALLY honest on this MG:

    Lovely underrated classic.

    Yeah, but I wish dodge would bring it back as an actual neon, not a tipo

    I made a little drawing of a modern Imperial. No wheels because drawing those sucks.

    Dodge probably would've chosen the SRT-4 to revive, the more sporty Neon. The Durango came back as a SRT model anyways.
    More MG, I guess I really desperately want something interesting from MG's prime time.
    Now to Nissan...

    The President was like the Nissan's version of the Toyota Century... but it died in 2010. (I'm seeing a pattern here...) It would be wonderful to see a spin that looks like the new Maxima, with more S-Class or Continental-esque features.

    No, Mexico and the Middle East.

    China did bring back the Chevrolet Cavalier though.



    It would be interesting to see their take on a modern Neon, rather than rely on a rebadge. Doubt it's going to ever happen though.

    (Looks like a Malibu)
    It might, but again might not. They did revive the Durango, but it was a SRT model, and the last ones were from 2014. I think Dodge has enough cars for now, although more than what Chrysler has now.
    Awesome so far!

    It's the similarities, I'm not saying it's EXACTLY the same model, which it isn't, but it has those kind of vibes.

    ...
    Not a surprise, but the Celica should come back.

    (Supposed upcoming Celica.)
    C'mon, Toyota! It's one of the best sellers, and you haven't even decided to revive it?
