Built like a tank, behaves like a go-kart. Incredible.
ive never ridden in a hummer, but i've heard others say the same thing, once you have you fall in love with it..

"nothing like a good hummer" should be its slogan,,, with bill clinton as its spokesman

No REAL Grand Prix ever had 4 doors....the last one made was for 1987. What followed was a pathetic application of the lipstick of the great Grand Prix name on a pig of a FWD toy that was central to the suicide of the Pontiac brand.

That 1987 Grand Prix was not only the last REAL Grand Prix, it was sadly the last REAL Pontiac.

I wish Honda would build a modern S2000. I could never figure why they discontinued it a few years ago.
Also I would like to see Nissan bring back the S-chassis. I don't have anything against the Z-chassis but the old 240sx was so cool. A modern would one would be very popular in drifting as drifters have been finding it increasingly harder to find a clean example of the last generation S-chassis cars.
Oh, and I almost forgot about the Lotus Elise. It's not that I don't like the new Evora, but it's bigger and therefore it's handling isn't quite on par with the old Elise/Exige. It's also safer than the Elise, but really, who cares about that.

It was based off the G-body which all of GM brands had a version of at the time heck buck had the best G-body in the 1980s with the GNX.

Do not forget the GMC Scyclone and Typhoon

They still make Previas, but they're only available in Asia and Australia Iirc

Haha, that's a great plan. It's really a shame they discontinued them. Truly brilliant [tonka trucks*] cars.
