It would be interesting to see Rolls Royce do something more interesting than the oversized bland euro boxes they turn out now.

Ever since I was a kid with a couple of coffee-table classic car books, I have had something of a soft spot for the closest thing America ever had to a kei-car manufacturer. Imagine a modern version of this, a tiny bug-eyed electric roadster in the same size class as a Daihatsu Copen or Suzuki Cappucino but just big enough inside to comfortably seat two 6'4" Powel Crosley's. Not exactly the most practical or safest of motor vehicles, but incredibly fun and charming.

John Dodd and the Merlin-engined monstrosity that infuriated Rolls-Royce
Wearing hand-made glassfibre bodywork with a backwards-mounted 27-litre Merlin V12 (minus superchargers) driving the rear wheels through a step-up gearbox, the Merlincar is possibly one of the most curious cars you’ll ever see – and for its owner John Dodd, it certainly proved the costliest. The...

I have a lot of nostalgia for the Pontiac Sunfire, growing up in the early 2000s it seemed like nearly every other car in my city was a Sunfire.
It looked much sportier then it actually was.

If we're bringing back the Fiero and the Sunfire, better bring back the Firebird too... honestly always liked 'em better than the Camaros, but would need a real Pontiac-block engine, not just another Chevy V8....
