My father drove a 67 Wildcat, he traded it in just before I got my license.
He said it was too much car for me.

Oh, and they should bring back bumpers that don’t have $5,000 cameras and sensors in them so that if you get bumped you don’t have to total the car.

To Toyota's credit they just brought back the Land Cruiser, but the hybrid 2.4 liter turbo engine is a complete no-go. Too many things that can go wrong on a vehicle designed for getting away from civilization.

I would not want to own any of the cars shown in the post. All of them are ugly.

And about the same size. This old concept is based on GM's Kappa platform.
