      If I saw a car similar to my Monza but possibly updated style wise, std 4 cyl, v 6 turboed , and maybe even a mild small V8, RWD, short wheel base and could even share some parts with a smaller GM car similar to Cobalt.
      A Chevelle badged car would be cool but needs to be between Camaro and SS.
      But a smaller Monza styled vehicle, shorter wheel base, but well handling, keep it on smaller 17s, maybe even install an air ride type suspension as an option. Smaller powerplant types could target entry level performance enthusiasts, keep the versions very close, but properly setup an honest attempt would put them out there with budget minded but efficient cars maybe even start up a racing series for them to compete in things like autocrossing, road events like we PT car builders shoot for.
      I could see an updated style IMSA Monza inspired platform, again with multiple power plants turboed or supercharged.
      Also I could see a car developed around current suspension ideas yet be also ways to add in say coil over strut type or SLA coil over suspension(and prerequisite air suspension also) from say ridetech,,,.
      Just something I always dreamed about, being able to rebuild the Monza type car but in current technology.
      Gets a guy thinking.
