Why are you so concerned, anyways? Are you asking people to talk about the vehicles they want to be brought back into production or the vehicles you want to be brought back into production?

The Pilot never went away. Today's generation is not functionally or spiritually different from the seven-year-old version you like so much.
I am just giving it some praise that's all. Oh for **** sake's even the S2000 and Prelude are under-mentioned options.


It might not be fun from your angle, but it's at exceptional of an awesome vehicle as they come. Hell I even seen a couple of videos of off-road driving with the Honda Pilot. Yep I can claim it can handle better than even a Jeep, though is been probably like 4 or 5 years since I watched those videos so finding them might not be easy.



The design especially was very deep and innovative.

I would say Ford Ranger, but Ford finally got their head out of their butt and is bringing back the Ranger this year.

Another vehicle I would bring back is a Toyota compact pickup that's actually compact and rugged, in the vein of a first-generation ('95-04) Tacoma. The new Tacoma is almost the size of a full size truck, I think it's even bigger than the T-100 was.

Honda Prelude.

Honda CR-Z. The CR-Z flopped because it wasn't sporty enough and it was a two seater. My mom likes hers though. Put a couple small back seats in and offer an Si version and I bet it will be a lot more successful.

Accord V6 and coupe. Seriously, Honda?

You're doing a little bit more than that. Understand that nobody is required to agree with you, nor respond to your praise in a freakin' 480 seconds (that passed between two of your posts on the subject). And it can be all kinds of awesome, but you seem to be the only one that thinks so. Plus, like I and others have said - the Pilot is still being produced. Maybe not in the retrograde version you seem to think is OK, but I can promise you can buy one at a Honda dealership.

Actually, unless you've driven both of them in similar circumstances, you can only claim that others claim that it handles better than a Jeep.

What I really wish we got was the A45 AMG (not the melty CLA we do get in that class). Such a fun little car to toss around.
I got it from this, maybe they made it themselves?

Sheesh, I knew I had some others in mind, could have swore.

I've searched far and wide online and have found no reference to an AMG E63 coupe. Given these guys are tuners, it's entirely possible they took a regular E coupe and stuffed an E63 engine into it. That might make it an AMG E63 Coupe in spirit, but it's a one-off. Given they've taken liberties with its top speed (380 kph or 236 mph, even with race fuel, given its current aero package, will launch this car into the stratosphere), I would not at all be surprised that they've taken liberties with the nomenclature, as well.

A Viper I get, but how anyone could wish for a re-birth of a PT Cruiser is beyond me (unless said person had never actually been in or driven one). It looked cute, but that novelty wore off quickly and the driving experience was, in a word, putrid.
