A refresh of the Ridgeline is likely on the way, though its successor has not been confirmed yet.

It seems like only yesterday that the Dodge Magnum appeared in showrooms. The Magnum name was revived in 2004 as a station wagon on the Chrysler LX platform. It was equipped with a full-size, V-8-powered engine, and a rear-drive station wagon that took car lovers by storm.

It even had a high-performance SRT version but it didn't live long enough to receive a Hellcat variant. The Dodge Magnum was replaced by the Dodge Journey.

The 928 is one of the best Porsche road cars ever assembled. Originally intended to replace the company's iconic 911, this model combined the power, poise, and handling of a sports car. Furthermore, the car qualified as a 2-door 2+2 hatchback, having two small seats in the rear.

ADVERTISEMENT

The rear seats in this fan favorite could be folded down to create a larger luggage area, and both the front and rear seats featured sun visors for the driver and their passengers. The modern 911 is a wonderful GT car, but we'd still love to see a new 928.

Ah, the Grand Wagoneer, the Jeep that was marketed for the 1963 to 1993 model years. Various versions of the Wagoneer were manufactured in the US and other nations by Kaiser Motors, American Motors, and lastly by Chrysler.

ADVERTISEMENT

The model had a sophisticated station wagon body design that was more carlike than any other 4x4 on the market. Long after the car was discontinued, there were rumors of the Jeep would be revived.

The Nissan 240 SX is a great car cherished by those who love an excellent drifting experience. Of course, it was never marketed to the drifting community during its release.

ADVERTISEMENT

With 140 horsepower and 152 pound-foot of torque, it had the noise and speed that made any driver feel they're handling more power than usual. Nowadays, Nissan offers only two performance cars: the 370Z and the GT-R. The 370Z is about as old as a new car can be, the GT-R is out of reach for the pocketbooks of most casual car buyers.

The Pontiac Fiero Caused Too Many Fires

The Fiero's mission was to help General Motors meet stricter fuel economy standards as well as draw in new customers to Pontiac. The auto company added new models, such as the GT, and for 1988, the Formula, along with a new, compact 60-degree 2.8-liter V-6 engine rated at 140 horsepower.

ADVERTISEMENT

However, over 200,000 cars were recalled in the early nineties due to engine-fire risks. Despite its problems, the Fiero was credited with drawing first-time buyers to Pontiac. There's a slim chance Chevy won't be reviving the Fiero, which is a shame.

A near-600-horsepower station wagon? This is something soccer dads can get behind. No body style was better suited to the CTS' edgy design than the wagon and it really showed with the Cadillac CTS-V Sports Wagon.

Sadly, Cadillac put the kibosh on the idea of the CTS-V Sports Wagon’s return. A new model, the CT5, was announced to replace the CTS, and Cadillac then announced an expected CT5 V series as a new addition.

The Mitsubishi Evolution was based on the Lancer. Through 10 generations, the Evo challenged all comers on the road, leading to an epic rivalry with Subaru and its Impreza-based WRX.

ADVERTISEMENT

But, the auto company decided to move towards eco-friendly products, leading to the model being discontinued. Of course, car fanatics would be thrilled if the team at Mitsubishi decided it was time to re-introduce the Evo. It was the STI's biggest competition with its big wing and a rally-minded design concept.

The Alfa Romeo GTV/6 featured some modifications that allowed it to fit a V-6 engine. Its interior furnishings and suspension systems also helped to ensure it became a market leader in its class.

ADVERTISEMENT

The main selling points of the Alfa Romeo was a V-6 combined with corner steering that excited drivers with a base-price that wouldn't necessarily break the bank. After a 15-year run from 1972-1987, the world could use more Italian fastback coupes, and the GTV/6 was arguably one of the best in its class.

With a 6.2-liter V8 engine and 412 horsepower, the Chevrolet SS had precise steering and neutral handling. What most people don't know is that it's a rebadge. The model is the second and last significant restyled iteration of the final fourth generation of the Holden Commodore to be manufactured in Australia.

ADVERTISEMENT

Compared to the preceding Pontiac G8, the SS featured a stiffer chassis thanks to greater use of the medium to high-strength steels adopted for the updated VF Commodore. Chevrolet shut down the Holden assembly plant, meaning we probably won't see a new SS for a very long time

In the late nineties, the Acura Type R was one of the purest performance cars on the American market. With a four-cylinder engine, 195 horsepower, and a balanced chassis, the Integra Type R was much like the Honda CRX from the eighties, but better in all aspects.

Both the Integra DC5 and Acura RSX were featured as car options in the video game Need For Speed: Underground. With the Civic Type R in the United States, car fanatics are waiting for Acura to come back to the affordable performance realm.

The car that restored faith in the muscle car movement in the eighties was the mighty Buick Grand National. With 276 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque, this was more powerful than any of its rivals.

ADVERTISEMENT

Unfortunately, the model only lasted for a year as General Motors only made around 500 of these cars. However, it was a notable model because of the auto company's use of a V6 engine over the traditional V8. Here's hoping that resurrection happens down the road.

The Mazda RX-7 had a run of over 20 years from 1978 to 2002. Its low curb weight was just under 2,500 with the engine placed just behind the front axle.

ADVERTISEMENT

Furthermore, the weight distribution was amazing and added great stability, with a 1.1 to 1.3-liter Wankel rotary engine under the hood. After years of begging for the return of this class automobile, Mazda confirmed that the rotary engine is back. Now we just have to wait for the car company to announce the vehicles glorious return.

A car that looks like a truck but drives like a car? The El Camino was an odd design choice but one that caught on with certain demographics of automobile enthusiasts. The SS model has long been a fan favorite thanks to its 454 V8 under the hood. The El Camino has gone through five generations starting in 1959 with a production end run in 1987.

ADVERTISEMENT

After the 1984 model year, production was moved to Mexico, and in 1987, the El Camino discontinued thanks to outstanding sales of the Chevrolet S-10 pickup. Chevrolet debuted an El Camino concept in 1995 based on the full-size Caprice station wagon, but production was canceled due to the rise of the SUV.

The last time Subaru produced a pickup truck was from 2003 to 2006, with the Baja. But, in 1978, the auto company offered the trendsetting Brat, the first small pick-up truck with all-wheel drive.

ADVERTISEMENT

Outside of its off-road capabilities, the Brat was known for its two truck-bed jump sets. Although Subaru hasn't given fans a new concept pickup truck, it wouldn't be a surprise if a Brat-like model returned. There needs to be a modern version, ASAP, but sadly, the Baja doesn't count.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse was a sport compact car developed and sold between 1989 to 2011. The first two generations share the automobile platform and parts with the rebadged Eagle Talon. This two-door, four-seat coupe was exciting to drive, and in its highest performance form, it was an all-wheel drive, turbocharged, manual coupe.

However, in 2006, the auto company redesigned the model, which was supposed to be a return to the Eclipses of the past. Sales were abysmal and the vehicle was discontinued, possibly forever.

The 944 shared the 924's profile while maintaining a design aesthetic that made it look like a smoothed-out 924 Carrera GT. On the other hand, the 944 is underpowered in most guises, as parts are expensive. This vehicle was never a cheap option with a starting price of $50,000.

A Supra successor has long taken its place so maybe it's time for Toyota to bring back another beloved sports car. It would likely have a more significant impact on the market than its predecessor, the Toyota GT86.

The Honda S2000 is one of the greatest roadsters in the world. Not only is it reliable, but good looking, and fantastic to drive. It had the stuff sports-car fantasies are made of including a front-engine, rear-drive layout; a six-speed, and close-ratio manual transmission.

The Honda S2000 featured an aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an output of 240 horsepower. The car disappeared after the 2009 model year and it's questionable if Honda will once again attempt to feature its sporting roots and issue a new version of the S2000.
