Great list. The only thing I would add is to resurrect the Nomad nameplate for an Impala sized wagon.

^^Amen brother!
If they made one, I may buy one. Depending on looks and power, of course.
Oh,......and make it AWD please. I know they did make an AWD option when they made them. I wasn't in the market for one as I am now.

Not a bad list be cool to see all those as long as they were 2wd Awd. The one I would add to the number one spot is a Chevelle! If they made it I would be first in line to order and I would pay what ever they wanted for it lol

If Buick released that car, I'd buy one for my wife in a heartbeat. Damn that was good looking.

My wife drives a tbss with a few mods that I have done to it(birthday and Christmas presents from me to her) she loves the truck so much that she says I "can't ever get rid of it" hers is awd and around hp 450hp. Most people have no idea what a tbss is all about I had a neighbor ask me whats wrong with the ttrailblazer after I put headers,exhaust,and tune on it. I just started laughing thinking he never asked me what was wrong with my 4th gen that was louder.

I don't think the market is there for another Niche performance midsize SUV unless its going to cost a arm and leg and be somewhat profitable for GM Look at all the other brands performance midsize suv prices the Jeep Srt8 is a 60k. Id rather see GM Do a GNX or Syclone for less money but the GNX has to be a Coupe like original and turbocharged as well. Syclone the same way too bad there will be no reg cab Canyons.

They'd have to update it with the Colorado's front fascia and completely revamp the interior.
Like the man said, Chevy doesn't have a mid size SUV to pull this off.

I would love it, but I don't want a watered down version with SS badges. I just don't see it happening. Maybe one day that type of vehicle will make a comeback but I really think that segment is gone for good. Perhaps one day Cadillac will shift the SRX to RWD again and we will see a performance version but that too seems unlikely.
