Inevitably, many cars get discontinued. The reasons vary. Information technology could be because nobody bought them. Information technology could be considering they were expensive to produce and the automaker wasn't seeing a profit. Or maybe information technology was just time for them to dice. Here are our favorite discontinued cars that need to make a comeback.

The XJ220 had elegant, swooping lines—and was a huge car. It was 197 inches from nose to tail and nearly 87 inches wide.

Jaguar XJ220

The XJ220 didn't exactly live up to its initial expectations when new, just it's still one of the coolest Jaguars ever. Nosotros'd beloved to see another halo supercar like this from Jaguar—one that actually makes production, different the stillborn C-X75.

Volkswagen Scirocco

Volkswagen sold the Scirocco for 2 generations in the U.S., but today's model is non imported to the US. Still, in a world of copy-paste crossovers, we'd dear to see the hatchback coupe from VW brand a return.

Lotus Elan

The only Lotus you can purchase in America is the Evora, and information technology'south only available equally a coupe. The Elise had a targa top, but it wasn't really a true roadster similar the Elan. If Lotus wants to aggrandize its lineup, this is where it should start.

Mazdaspeed 3

Depending on who you lot ask, Mazda may be working on a fast version of its newly-redesigned 3 hatch, though null's been confirmed. We think it should be brought back.

Cadillac's concept cars over the past several years have been great, but it's production cars that put a brand on the map. And with the second-generation CTS, Cadillac did exactly that. It didn't quite take down the Germans, but offering a sedan, coupe, and even a wagon at least got people paying attention. Oh, and then there were the bonkers 556-horsepower CTS-Vs.

Cadillac CTS-5 Wagon

The most recent CTS-V is peachy, but it but came in sedan form. The wagon died off with the last-gen model, and remains a highly desirable collectable. Equipped with a supercharged V-8 and an available stick shift, it'southward the ultimate long-roof fantasy for enthusiasts everywhere.

Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

Ford has said in the past that the current F-150 got as well fatty to build a Lightning version, simply honestly, we don't buy it. Fast SUVs are some of the hottest new vehicles right now, so why doesn't Ford make a fast F-150 that isn't a Raptor? Aftermarket companies have done well in its absenteeism, later on all.

Dodge Magnum

The Magnum wagon never really got a chance to shine before it was discontinued. Based on the Charger, it got a loftier-performance SRT version, but didn't live long enough to receive a Hellcat variant. A Hellcat wagon: How cool would that be?

Porsche 928

The modern 911 is a wonderful GT motorcar, only we tin can't help merely wonder what the globe would be similar with a new 928. Information technology doesn't have to be a bespoke model—a ii-door Panamera would practise just fine. That massively powerful turbo 5-8 hybrid drivetrain would exist pretty spectacular in a smaller front-engined GT machine.

The original Jeep Wagoneer was, along with the Chevy Suburban, one of the forefathers of the modern SUV. The Wagoneer used the same basic chassis as the Jeep Gladiator pickup truck, and saw few changes through its near 30-year production run. From 1974 to 1983 Jeep sold a two-door version of the Wagoneer that it called the Cherokee—another legendary Jeep nameplate.     The Super Wagoneer of 1966 packed more luxury features and a strong V-8 under the hood. It became a precursor to the more upscale path the Wagoneer brand would blaze through the 70s, 80s and early 1990s with trims such as the Brougham, Limited, and finally, Grand. And of course the faux woodgrain side panels would become a Waggy trademark. Today, these SUVs look and drive like the classics they are.

Jeep Wagoneer

We've heard all the rumors that Jeep is bringing back the Wagoneer and Chiliad Wagoneer sometime presently, but we haven't nevertheless seen what this model might wait like. The Grand Cherokee is nice, but we can only imagine how wonderful an ultra-luxurious SUV from Jeep will be.

Nissan 240SX

Nowadays, Nissan offers but two performance cars: The 370Z and the GT-R. The 370Z is about every bit erstwhile as a new car can be, and the GT-R is out of achieve for well-nigh normal people. What Nissan needs is a new entry-level performance car akin to the 240SX. A fun, balanced, reasonably-priced coupe for the masses.

BMW Z8

The BMW Z8 is ane of the coolest mod roadsters out at that place. Inspired past the company's drib-dead gorgeous 507, it uses the same Five-8 found in the E39-generation M5. A modern version with 617 horsepower doesn't sound so bad.

The Dodge Viper is a throwback to when the original muscle cars roamed wild and free in the 1960s and early 1970s. It lacks the finesse of modern sports cars; instead the Viper is a brutally quick beast that's a little bit frightening. The 8.4-liter, 645-hp V10 is a beast comes mated to only one transmission—a six-speed manual.     This isn't a delicate instrument. Drop the hammer with the traction control system turned off and the car will be quickly engulfed in plumes of tire smoke. The six-speed doesn't offer the delicate throws of some sports cars. Instead, shifting requires commitment and some muscle to get the Viper in the right gear. But that totally fits this car's personality. And it's incredibly satisfying to have full manual control over such a powerful and  torque-rich engine.     The price of admission isn't cheap. The Viper starts at $84,995 and climbs to nearly $120,000 for the even more visceral ACR racetrack special edition (seen here). Expensive? Sure. But we're talking about a Viper here.           Base Price: $84,995

The Viper is hands ane of the coolest cars to ever come out of Detroit. With cartoonish looks, a massive V-10 engine, and a reputation for being difficult to handle, information technology's truly a fable.

Alfa Romeo GTV/half-dozen

The Alfa Romeo 4C sure is a looker, and the Giulia is a heck of a sports sedan. But nosotros won't be truly happy until Alfa brings back the GTV/half dozen. The world ever needs more Italian fastback coupes, and the GTV/half-dozen was arguably the all-time. Only put a slinky fastback body on the underpinnings of the Giulia and you'd accept a winner.

Chevrolet SS

Chevrolet shut down the Holden assembly plant that produced the rear-bulldoze Commodore (the car the Chevy SS was based on), meaning we probably won't see a new SS for a very long time. That's a real shame.

The Integra Type R is one of the holiest of holy performance front-wheel-drive cars. It made 195-hp from its little four-cylinder engine and the handling was neutral as hell, most unlike a front-wheel-drive car. And it was expensive. We found one recently in good condition for $45,000. With the Civic Type R coming to the U.S. very soon, we're waiting to hear what Acura has to say about that (like build a new Integra Type R).

Acura Integra Type R

The Integra Type R is one of the holiest operation front-wheel-drive cars. It made 195 horsepower from its niggling four-cylinder engine and the handling was perfectly neutral, well-nigh unlike a front-bicycle-bulldoze machine. We establish one recently in good condition for $45,000. With the Civic Type R in the U.Southward., we're waiting for Acura to come back to the affordable performance realm.

Subaru is somewhat quirky compared with its mainstream rivals now, but it was all out bonkers in the late 1970s. Behold, the BRAT, an El Camino'd Subaru Leone sedan made for the U.S. market.   The BRAT, or, Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter, had two rear-facing seats installed in the bed to circumvent U.S. restrictions on imported trucks. This is Subaru at its strangest and best.

Subaru Deviling

Information technology may not be a sports car, only the Subaru Brat remains 1 of the coolest vehicles the Japanese brand has ever sold. Featuring a pickup bed with two exterior rear-facing jump seats and some sweet decals, information technology'south all you lot could e'er desire from a weird classic car. We need a mod version, ASAP. And no, the Baja doesn't count.

<p>If a mid-sized, turbocharged V6 "mini musculus car" sounds adept to you, then the Buick G National GNX shouldn't be an unfamiliar proper noun. GM <a href="http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/road-tests/features/a25623/first-look-flashback-1987-buick-gnx/">only made 500 of these cars</a> and the Chiliad Nationals were notable because of their utilize of V6 engines over the V8s used in competitive Mustangs. But what if we resurrected the Grand National, built information technology on GM's Alpha platform and gave it the twin-turbo V6 <a href="http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/road-tests/a26302/2016-cadillac-ats-v-test/">from the ATS-V</a>? </p>

If a mid-sized, turbocharged V-vi "mini muscle car" sounds good to yous, and then the Buick Grand National GNX shouldn't be an unfamiliar name. GM only made 500 of these cars, notable their apply of a turbo V-half-dozen engine over the traditional 5-8. But what if we resurrected the Grand National, congenital it on GM's Alpha platform and gave information technology the twin-turbo V-6 from the ATS-V?

People have wanted the RX7 to return for years. Mazda has confirmed that the rotary engine is back and could make it into a production version of the RX-9. That would certainly be a joyous day for us, because we have always loved the RX7, especially for its quirks. It was easily modded and was absolutely unreliable. Today's technology could yield an equally fun car and bring a revolutionary engine back to a market where it's been missed.

People have wanted the RX-7 to render for years. Mazda has confirmed that the rotary engine is dorsum and could arrive into a production sports car. That would be a joyous day for usa, because we take always loved the RX-seven. It was easily modded and great to bulldoze. Today's technology could yield an as fun motorcar and bring a revolutionary engine back to a market where it's been missed.

<p>Despite the truckish looks and the truckish carrying capabilities, the El Camino drove more like a car than a truck. The lack of weight over the rear tires fabricated it a perfect tool for some rear-wagging activeness. Peculiarly if you got the SS model, which had the 454 V8 engine. What musculus car today can store as much equally a pickup while doing a burnout? As well, consider this: a car-based "minor truck" would certainly have ameliorate fuel efficiency than a mid-sized truck similar the Tacoma or the Colorado. </p>

Chevrolet El Camino

Despite the truckish looks, the El Camino drove more like a machine. That made it crawly, especially if yous got the SS model, which had a 454 cubic-inch V-eight under the hood. What musculus automobile today can store as much as a pickup while doing a burnout? Australia has had sedan-based pickup trucks for years, including rip-snorting operation models. Why not bring one over here?

Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Mitsubishi Eclipse

With the Lancer Evo canceled, Mitsubishi no longer has anything sporty in its lineup. We'd honey to see that solved past the return of the Eclipse. The Eclipse was the wonderful product of an alliance between Mitsubishi and Chrysler chosen Diamond Star Motors. It gave us the Hawkeye brand and the Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser. That alliance may never come back, just we can hope for an all-wheel bulldoze turbo coupe similar the Eclipse GSX to requite Toyota 86 fans an all-atmospheric condition alternative. And no, the Eclipse Cantankerous doesn't count.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Of course, nosotros'd exist perfectly happy if Mitsubishi just brought back the Evo instead. It was the STI's but real competition, sporting a big wing and a rally-minded philosophy.

Porsche 944

The turbocharged engine in the 718 Cayman may be controversial, but the machine itself is fantastic. The problem is price. Since it starts north of $l,000, it's not exactly affordable. We think that leaves room for the return of a front-engine 944 to be the new entry-level Porsche. Cost it right and you'd have a natural step upwardly from something like a Toyota 86 and a truthful sports automobile for a younger audience. Win-win-win.

<p>Toyota recently got back into the sports car game with the Scion FR-S (now Toyota 86), merely an even-more than-affordable option is the MR2. Toyota's mid-engine sports automobile was fun to bulldoze and yet looks great today. Plus, with three generations to selection from, <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/Cars-Trucks/6001/i.html?_sop=7&_udhi=10%2C000&_mPrRngCbx=1&_stpos=02121&_from=R40&_nkw=toyota%20mr2&_dcat=15289&rt=nc&_udlo" target="_blank">make clean examples fit a wide range of budgets</a>. </p>

Toyota MR2

With the new Supra out, it's time for Toyota to bring back another dear sports auto—the MR2. Really, though, we'd love to see the return of the affordable mid-engine sports automobile in general. Fiat revived the 124 Spider, just what near the X1/9? And fifty-fifty though Pontiac's gone, GM could still totally bring back the Fiero.

The MR2 isn't the only sporty machine Toyota should bring back. The Celica is another cracking contender, with plenty of rally history to back it up.

Volvo P1800

Volvo's done a keen job of revitalizing its lineup in contempo years. The XC90 and S90 are both stellar cars with great interiors. Only nosotros'd love to see the Swedish automaker have a take a chance and build a P1800 sports coupe once again. Imagine a Polestar One with P1800-inspired bodywork. We'd love that.
