That's how they got the name. Wind = The thing it has trouble getting around due to poor aerodynamics. Star = The button you first press on your cell phone to block your number in order to hide the embarrassment of calling the tow company for the hundredth time.
I'll tell you what I'd like to see back in production from the big 3....a low dollar RWD car that was all business.
Back in the 60's and 70's the big 3 all had one....Ford with the Falcon, GM with the Chevy II/Nova and Chrysler with the Dart/Duster.
Now if the big 3 would do this once again....make the car a RWD low dollar car....maybe give it a/c and an AM/FM stereo but keep it with vinyl seats, rubber floor mat, nothing fancy but something that would last a long long time...
But that will never happen, not when everyone wants a Cadillac in their cracker box cars and trucks.
Falcon and ChevyII/Nova had it all. Two or four doors. A "drive to church on Sunday" basic model and it could be kicked up to be a performance coupe or sedan. Imagine them today with modern suspension and radial tires.
I liked the older BMW 7 series ('94 timeframe) than the current model. The older model looked more distinguished. The new model looks like every other car, nothing special.
I need Honda to reissue their 92-95 Civic Si hatchback for me. And I'd rather have one of their old late 70's CVCC hatchbacks for my city car than a Smart car.
I really like the E30 series BMW's, and they never sold their E30 wagon over here in the States, so they need to correct that. But a brand new M3 or 325ix would be awesome to have.
Volvo should bring back their 240 wagons, and with a manual transmission option.
With Toyota, I'd like a Starlet for my city car. And a reissued '88 Celica Alltrac with more power.
