What's yours and why?
Or, what brand do you want to see come back from the dead? And explain why you think it deserves a second chance.

good choice OP. Alpine made some really cool looking cars

Defiantly Pontiac. I don't even care if the last 10 years where rebadges. They always looked so much better. We build excitement was a perfect motto for them. They were able to take everything boring and regular about Chevy and turn it into something fun as Pontiac, even if it was the exact same car just with a different body.

>>1861I'll still never understand why GM killed Pontiac. Chrysler went the other way and made SRT for sports/super cars a few years later.

My family has driven Oldsmobiles for generations…
Also I love Pontiacs.
I also have a place in my heart for AMC and the Tucker, but alas I never owned either of those.

But the Sunfire was fun. It didn't look as boring and regular as the Cavalier. The added their Pontiac flair to it and made it cooler even thought it was just the same car.

Why are Alpines so goddamn ridiculously sexy?
I don't know why I don't talk about them that much, but whenever someone mentions the brand, I'm instantly all "Alpines are sex. Alpines are pure sex."
Are you excited about their upcoming release, Anon? The A120?

AMC. Something I dont understand is how American Motors went under even though they had the magical "jeep" namesake that Chrysler made a killing off of. It would be interesting to see if they would have survived the late 2000's recession if they were still around.

Not always true.
What I'm wondering is why Chevy isn't reviving Pontiac. They still have the rights to the Pontiac name right?

Kinda sad how SAAB died just as they got their act together and built a car that didn't look like utter shite

The entire collective pre-British Leyland UK motor industry.
British designs were very different from American, Japanese and even other European designs. I still regard British Leyland as the worst thing to happen to motoring ever.

because people realized Pontiac were just Chevys with another grille and badge. That wasn't a problem until the recession hit and GM had chop their own limbs like mad in an attempt to save itself.
>>3795
because Chevy is already covering the market Pontiac did. the only way Pontiac would comeback is if GM decides to rework Chevy's philosphy (which means they have to go all toaster so Pontiac can get the young/sporty chunks)

AMC went under because they went from decent car manufacturer, to muscle car manufactuer, to garbage factory shitbox manufacturer, all in the span of a decade.
Damn shame, really.

I think it's because Pontiac was never definitively a performance marque.

It makes me genuinely upset. Fucking Chevy is allowed to roll out shit like the Cruze or Traverse, but when GM starts tailspinning like it was bound to, they kill off PONTIAC? Not Buick, not GMC, PONTIAC. And this is before they went Judas on Saab and Holden.
It's gonna take some serious fucking convincing for me to buy any GM product in the future, especially considering the majority of their Big Four's respective lineups are shit. Fuck man, I don't know if I'd wear a Chevy shirt if it were FREE.

One of my favorites is Vector Motors. The M12 was so fucking awesome. I know that they're still around kind of, but they haven't done shit since showing the WX-8 prototype in 2007.

Don't know if you include individual models, but this once ferocious rally beast is currently lying in its deathbed after 25 years of production, 10 of those stuck in one generation which had nothing to do with the previous nine in any way, shape or form and had little to no development tacked on to it in the years that followed.
