Ford Ranger, but they brought that back after getting rid of it for about 7 years. Lincoln Town Car. They depreciated rapidly and were pretty reliable. So affordable luxury. I don’t know why Lincoln got rid of their flagship car. ---

I love my Scion xA. I wish they’d bring that back, or something similar. Mine ain’t getting any younger. ---

Modern cars are so bland. How about something like the Stutz Bearcat? [![](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stutz_Bearcat.jpeg) ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stutz_Bearcat.jpeg) ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > Ford Ranger, but they brought that back after getting rid of it for about 7 years. not yet 😉 I have a 2011 Ranger, and have driven a 2016 and a 2019 Ranger. the new one is not as much bigger as people think. > [@](#): > > Lincoln Town Car. They depreciated rapidly and were pretty reliable. So affordable luxury. I don’t know why Lincoln got rid of their flagship car. it was obsolete; the only people buying it were named Hertz and Metro Cars, and any retail orders were basically for Heaven’s Taxi. Plus, both plants which built Panther platform cars were closed. The Continental and Navigator are the flagships now. ---

Shelby Cobra. I wouldn’t be able to afford it but I’d sure like to see a modern version. ---

I wish they would bring back 4Runners with tailgates instead of liftbacks. While they’re at it, bring back the removable fiberglass shell (not that I ever took mine off, but I liked having that option if I were ever so inclined). While I’m at it, can I get a 5-speed manual instead of an automatic? ---

Scion XB!!! The most practical car I’ve ever owned. ---

Saturn SL1. Sharp-looking car, especially in blue-green, a color I wish more cars would use. ---

I want a proper Volvo station wagon, like the 240DL wagon I used to drive. Not an SUV, not a “sport wagon” with a tapered rear hatch. ---

The Ford Econoline. The new vans look like a low-fat version of the original. ---

Do you mean make em again just like they were made last, or make a modern version of what they were? Some quite different answers between the two. ---

1976 Chevy Blazer. Put a modern engine in it so you don’t have to change the plugs every year. Just bring back truck based SUV’s. The Four Runner is all that is left (and probably going to be my next vehicle) ---

VW bug, original. Or almost original, like 1965. For the $2060 I paid for it, new. With sunroof and AM-FM radio. Sweeet. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/list-cars-you-wish-to-see-back-in-production/809155.md?page=2)
