As much as I do, there are also people who would like to see the return of the vehicles which are currently not in production for the U.S. market.  With the aid of sachee.com, I have learned few of the other people’s thoughts and preferences.  It has been in response with their “Question of the Month”.  And, they seemingly became the reader’s wish lists.  Some hopes for the resurrection of Volkswagen vans, sports cars and cords.

Personally, I would like to have the Volkswagen Microbus back in the market again.  However, with its return, I expect that it would be better and that it would come equipped with upgraded parts such as my favorite premium Volkswagen glow plug duraterm and others.

I would like to share with you some of the emails that have been featured in the site, answering “What motor vehicle that is no longer produced would you like to see make a return to the U.S. marketplace? And why?”  And maybe, it would be great for you to give your own views.  Let me give you few short ones.

“… a new Volkswagen "pop top" camper van…  I liked the small footprint and great gas mileage, and I don’t want to lumber around in a gas-guzzling, American-style camper.”

“… the Porsche 944.  Produced in different incarnations from 1983-91, I would like to specifically see the return of the 944 Turbo, a four-cylinder, turbocharged car that in 1988 Turbo S trim made approximately 250 horsepower and went from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds…  The top speed of the Turbo S and 1989 Turbo was approximately 155 mph – one of the fastest production cars in the world…  The car had excellent components for handling, including brakes from the Porsche 928, large sway bars, forged rims, Koni shocks and a limited-slip differential.”

“The classic MGB Roadster, of course.  A return of the also-classic Triumph TR6 roadster would also be a welcome sight.  Of course, these cars would come with the requisite AAA roadside service…”

“… the Cord.  … With its low profile and exhaust headers, it was the most attractive car I ever saw.”

“… the Austin-Healey 3000… always seemed to be the ultimate statement of what a British roadster should be.”

“I think it would be really fun if Volkswagen did a new Microbus.  VW should make it retro in style, following the style of the really old split-window Microbuses of the 1950s-60s.  It would also be fun if the automaker could do this and include the flip-up front windshields like the old ones…”

“I think the 1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible should be brought back…  That T-bird;s distinctive, porthole-equipped top has never really been brought back, and that was a signature that today’s convertible don’t have…”

“… the Packard motor car. … Packard epitomized the utmost in engineering, styling and prestige…”

“… I have always preferred the Falcon to the ford Mustang, and I’d like to see Ford bring back the former…”

“… the Oldsmobile.  It was stylish, wonderful-running vehicle.  And going way back, we liked the Studebaker…”
