Top 16 Japanese Cars That Need To Make A Comeback

Mitsubishi Starion/Dodge Conquest

The Starion’s run in the 1980s was an odd mix of racing success and sales failure. Depending on its configuration, the turbocharged four cylinder under the hood could produce nearly 200hp, perfectly on par for the American pony cars with which it shared more than a few design traits.

Toyota Supra

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.
