I definately agree with the cherokee,<br>In my opinion the last cherokee is way better than the current liberty.<p>-more room<br>-more power<br>-less weight<br>-plenty of aftermarket parts for serious off-roading

I say bring back the Ford GTHO as an FPV vehicle!!! Pack the power under the bonnet, and watch it eat HSV's alive. Honestly, a GTHO would bring so much cred to Ford, but only if they made it bloody good, like the origional.

I'm not familiar with a of the european and japanese only vehicles mentioned here.<p>My opinion is based on market demand.<br>Here's my revised list.<p>1)cherokee - better than the liberty and cheaper<p>2)240sx - cheaper and lighter alternative to mustang with a VQ engine (sort of like a stripped down version of the G35)<p>3)eclipse gsx awd - something like the evo, in an eclipse body, and with lower insurance cost <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.germancarfans.com/images/forums/biggrin.gif" BORDER="0">

I think Mercedes is running away with those segments as far as production numbers and world-wide sales, and i would love to see BMW get back into the game with a two-seater or a less-controversial coupe (not sold on the 6er)
