Datsun 510
- This car is all but forgotten among the masses. Amongst the car-loving community though, it sits upon a pedestal of respect, as a tiny, lightweight sedan that could kick some serious butt on a racetrack. Nissan knows that this is a car that needs to come back -- it even teased a concept car that was a very clear homage. Hopefully the car gods will answer the prayers here.
- The Integra, especially the early 1990s variant, remains a standard bearer for great handling front-wheel-drive cars. The tiny two-door was crazy light, and its absence weighs heavy on the market. Maybe someday we'll get something comparable again. After all, the NSX eventually returned, so anything's possible.
- To some, it's absolutely inconceivable that the Supra is in its second decade of hibernation, having enjoyed a reign at or near the top of the performance heap for much of the '80s and '90s. Rumors have been rampant for years that it's set to make a return, possibly on a platform shared with an upcoming BMW. The irony would be rich, since in the mid-1990s, the Supra Turbo could rightly be considered a faster, more luxurious, and more expensive version of the M3.
