Now that the FRS/BRZ is out, what other models would you like revived?
 
Now I know what you're thinking... "THE FRS/BRZ IS NOT A REVIVAL OF THE AE86!" No matter how much anyone tries to tell me that, I won't believe it. I know it doesn't carry the same name or styling, but to me, it's still the modern day revival of that car. Toyota hasn't made a lightweight "sporty" RWD in many many years. But this is that car.

Anyways, now that the AE86 has been revived and is getting critically great reviews by consumers/journalist, what models do you think should be revived with other manufacturer's thinking about hopping into the marketplace with something sporty, what would you like to see?? (From any make/model..... No El Camino trolls need apply!)

ex. <MAKE><MODEL> - <Features You'd Like To See>
For my own personal list I'd like to see new version of:
Nissan Silvia - RWD, Turbo 2.4 coupe with at least 240HP (Is it too late just to hope for a 240Z?)
Toyota Celica Alltrac/GT-FOUR - Turbo AWD at least 200HP
Toyota MR2 - Obviously MR drivetrain with with at least 180HP
Toyota Supra - FR with at least 350HP costing *little voice* less than 50k?
WRX Sport Coupe - Keep the same internals currently, but with a body redesign with coupe offering.
Acura/Honda Integra - 260HP 9000RPM VTEC!

I would like to see Jaguar come out with something smaller, lighter... with a straight-six and a forward-hinged bonnet.

You mean the F-type that's coming out?

Revive the 3S-GTE with a lighter alloy for bottom end (hopefully as strong as cast iron) higher flowing head, higher flowing exhaust manifold to get rid of uneven burning and a real ball-berring twin-scroll turbo. Don't care what car it goes into (hopefully not fwd).

Also I want a revised second generation S2000 (no, not ap1 and ap2, but an entirely different redesign) with 11,000 RPM redline and real hardtop no convertible, no sunroof.

Oh, one can only dream...

NSX is being built. Hybrid awd.

Supra is being built. Hybrid.

Silvia is being built.

Jaguar F-type is being built.

Dream: v6 2nd gen Toyota Mr2 w 6 speed and a new rear subframe with double wishbone suspension for predictable oversteer.

Dream: Yaris Turbo AWD similar to the 1997 Corolla rally car.

Mazda Cosmo (2door 3rotor family coupe)
Toyota Cressida (small 4door rwd with plenty of power)

MR2 Spyder, 8000+rpm and Miata matching curb weight or less. Don't care about horsepower, can always bolt on an S/C. Preferably hardtop, but I'm starting to become a believer in this soft top business...

S2000, but I agree with ST185RC, softtop is silly.

Silvia would be cool, FRS needs a competitor.

I'm still awaiting my S16!
