I could do without the new GM FWD imposter cars (new Impala is a good example). And would love nothing more than to throttle the Jacka$$ that has decided to dis-continue the Camaro line.

I'd like to see a return of the Orignal Jeep military rigs. Simple, cheap, economical and capable.

I once owned a Rambler Rouge. Cool name but crappy car.

How can you not have the '55 T'Bird on the list.

My personal favorites are the '41 and '56 Lincoln Continental.

That's a PW rig.

The first Olds front wheel drive in the mid 1960's should be included. I owned a '97 Aurora which didn't quite have the same firepower but was still a neat machine.

I wish they still made the '68 Subaru...it came with a two-stroke motor, got 65 MPG, and swerved all over the road when a truck went by...went to the drive-in for a double feature once, and was cramped up for a week afterward-nah! I don't wish they still made them!!!!!!

Yupper, 66-67 425 powered Toronados were nothing to spit at. My personal fave is the '64 B-09 Police Pursuit Option AKA 442.

Not sure about the Camaro, but I read a story in USA Today stating that only 3500 Firebirds (of all trim levels) were sold in 2000. Hard to justify keeping the line running.

Nice ride! Is that yours?

My only economical early Jeep option was this My Samurai
