Hooniverse Asks: Which car should get a "continuation" version?

Occasionally, an automaker will reach into its well of past production models and bring one back from the dead for a short bit. It’s a special offering of a classic in the modern era. Aston Martin has done that recently with the arrival of its DB4 GT. This is a continuation model, and it’s a glorious reawakening of a proud part of the brand’s past.
Which car do you think deserves such treatment? Personally, I’d love to see a 1968 Dodge Charger given the continuation love. That’s not something that’s likely to happen but I can pray to my scale versions sitting on my desk.

      I believe I’m on record as maintaining that BMW lost its way after the 700, but even so I’ll admit to being fond of the early 2002 tail lights.

      And not to be forgetting a few examples of the coupe, to remind them what a civilized gentleman’s conveyance looks like.

        Indeed. They ought to have continued building this instead of that buttressed abomination that followed.

      Not sure I would chose the stepnose, I don’t mind the later GTV 2000 with the shield formed by bumps on the grille bars, came close to buying one of those years ago.

        The later design is more graceful but I like the quirkiness of the step.

    Apparently the correct answer is the Saab 9-3.

      I’ll believe it when one breaks down in front of me.

        Before that happens, National Electric Vehicle Sweden may wish to rethink its branding for the US market.

    I would even forgive them for the Element.

    I’d like a modern, boxy stick axle 2 door SUV not named Wrangler.

      First gen MR2 would be a good suggestion too. Same for the Honda CRX of the same era.

    FPV F6, or Falcon XR6 Turbo. FG model because I prefer the original styling to the FGX update.

    An AWD you can see out of, and that can actually go offroad. Or even where there are no roads at all like a proper off roader should, showing where roads one day will be. Not just a luxury vehicle- unless true luxury is going anywhere you want.
    And make it so well designed it gets exhibited in the Louvre as a piece of art. A proper continuation would be my choice. Given the way S1 Rangies have skyrocketed in price, I’m not the only one.

      I’m trying to think how long ago it was I was talking to a friend about some early RR’s that weren’t finding buyers at $2k or so. Probably closer to 15 years at this point. Trouble was I needed one like a hole in the head…
