I've never heard of or seen a 4wd Packard.

Go to your friendly local used book store, find the sci-fi section, and look for "HardWired" by Walter Jon Williams.

 

Actually, do that anyway, whether or not you want to see a cowboy who smuggles pharmaceuticals from the west coast to the east coast in a heavily armed hovertank buy a new car for transport back home to New Mexico.  That he drives by jacking in to a port on his head, because "riding the face" feels more comfortable than manual controls.

Do a retro modern version of the stepnose Alfa.......IMHO, one of the prettiest small GTs ever....

I agree that Cadillac needs to stick to doing Cadillac-y things like they used to.  Last good Caddy to me was the Fleetwood from the 80s.  Then they went all Northstar FWD.

A company that used to be cherished by people with Stetsons who put bull horns on the hood is now taking on Euro brands.  The newest one I've driven was a 2016, and it just misses the mark so horrifically.  My 99 W210 was more refined than the 2016 CT6 I drove.

Yes!!

I'd sign up for a lookalike with a modern Giulia engine in it!!

(Sadly, I couldn't afford the replica Type 33 Stradale I'd really like!  Might settle for a TZ though)

If Honda did a little two-seat EV, would it be a modern version of the CRX or the CR-Z?
