Top 7 Cars that Should've STAYED DEAD 

I love the new Countach but every word you said is absolutely right. The new Countach looks cool but not as cool as the older one. There was no car as much crazy as the old Countach, even today! If I want a crazy looking car, I can go for the Apollo IE. It costs $2.6 million and there are only 10 of those (rarer than the new Countach and still cheaper). Lambo should tweak the Terzo Millenio concept a little bit, forget about safety standards because no one will ever care about it, because it's so crazy that it's not even road legal! Make it a track only! Put a 6.5L NA V12 in it, produce 50 of those (50th anniversary of Countach) and sell them for $10 million each! That would be the real modern Countach!

he attacc he protecc but most importantly stype's toilet humor is bacc

7:01 Thank you, no one cares if you EV makes a thousand horse power and does 0-60 in sub zero seconds, all I care about is if it provides a good time and makes me smile

Ain't no way he just used the turn signal... 1:39

I'm glad you talked about the gt! I feel exactly the same about it. It had such an amazing pinifarina design and then.....yeah

For anybody who doesn't know what the three unnamed cars are, they are the following: VW Beetle (2000's relaunched version) Holden ZB Commodore, 4 cylinder engine and FWD the new Acura/Honda Integra

I think it would have been better to call the new Dart the Neon since it replaced it and it looked very similar.

Great video! I would add the Mitsubishi Eclipse to the list, sadly : (

I like the 8 series too, I think it’s a nice successor to the 6 series and it makes sense that they’d want to have a car in their line up that could fulfill the purpose the 6 series did.

disagreed honestly

The Alfa Romeo Spider/gtv was absolutely stunning and very good to drive. Shame it was forward wheel drive and not rear wheel drive. Otherwise a gorgeous car.

I was very excited about the new Lamborghini countach and when I saw it I could appreciate what they were trying to do and how to carry on a lot of the design cues for it. But I truly believe that they should have and I still hope that they still in the future produce a super aero kit for it

"the kinda car that made you wish you were walking instead" well, a lot of modern Dart owners were walking because of that Chrysler "reliability"

Agreed 1000% on the Countach... we are living in lazy reboot hell. Why make something new when you can just cash in on nostalgia.

My biggest issue with the Countach is the taillights... A car with an iconic name deserves its own rear end, not one of a Sian.

The 8 Series Gran Coupe is my favourite-looking BMW to date, so I personally appreciate that it has been made to replace the 6 Series. I also really like the look of the new Gran Turismo, it’s characterful like the old one, but in its own way. Most importantly, it’s actually new. The old one will always be a timeless classic, but if the new one came out looking nearly identical, I won’t give it a second look, no matter how pretty it is.

Trying To Pass off The Aventador as a Countach LOL

I have a soft spot for the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO I know it didn't look the best but it was a pretty good muscle car/American GT car.

Where's the Eclipse?

As much as I usually agree with your opinion, I can't say the same about your opinion on the 8 series. The G15 8 series still looks very special on the outside. Especially in black it looks like something you don't wanna mess with. As from the performance point of view? It's absolutely doing the right thing. BMWs especially M cars are generally known for making a lot more power than claimed (hell, just look at the M5 CS that can almost keep up with a new 911 Turbo in a drag race). And even if the E31 came out with an M8 variant that made 700 horsepower, it still would have taken a while to take this thing off the line. That's just how high performance luxury cars worked back in the days. Power isn't everything.

Another car to add to this list is the Lancia Delta.... well the entire brand Lancia since 90s should stay here, but that's another story.

I agree with everything listed except the Countach and M8. The Countach to me represents the best aspects of Lamborghini while standing out visually amongst the uninteresting roster of modern super and hypercars. And unlike it's siblings (Sian and SVJ) it actually looks good and doesn't give me brain hemorrhaging by just catching a fleeting glimpse. It's a faithful hommage to the original, like the 2005 Ford GT or the upcoming 3.0 CSL. As for the M8, while it might not be the most impressive BMW ever made, it's arguably the most beautiful (although the M1 Procar and M5 CS are contenders as well). While I understand that many would have wished for BMW to go all bonkers with a V12 and one trillion hp, that simply wouldn't suit the car at hand and not BMWs current image (well their image before stuff like the iX, G80 M3 or the new 7-Series lol). It's a tasteful GT with a strong powertrain that helps it to keep up with the fierce competition in form of the RS7 and GT63 as well as the Bentley Continental GT and even the Ferrari Roma. Alone the fact that the M8 competes with a Bentley and a Ferrari is definitely impressive and is in line with what you said about the first M8. Is it my favorite car? Definitely not, but it's a very competent, mature and capable car and I'm always pleased when I see one. Although funnily enough most M8s I see are Gran Coupés, I guess four doors are just better for most customers (although I would just take an M5 lol) But that aside, I agree with the rest of the list, although I didn't even know the Dodge Dart was a thing to begin with.

Another car (name) that should’ve stayed dead is the Opel Manta. „Samll, light 2D Sports Coupé? Naaah Lets slap the name on a 4D full electric SUV!“

Comparing the new Maserati power being a JACK HAMMER VS the old Maserati sounds like listening to PAVAROTTI = Brilliant comparison!!!! Well placed FUN editing gives me many opportunities to laugh and makes this video on a 1-10 scale an 11!!!

I think in the case of M8 , they're trying to differentiate it from the M5. M5 & M6 sounds so closer than M5 & M8. Yes everyone knows that the new 8 series is basically 6 ser with +10K price tag. btw i love the countach LPi800 i think it's probably the most beautiful looking iteration of Aventador.

The only one i disagreed was the Alfa. I personally think it looks really good, but not as good as the concept, so i get your point. As for the rest, the biggest disapointment of the cars you showed is the Maserati Gran Turismo. It doesn't look awful ir ugly by any standard, but it's not "bite-the-back-of-your-hand" beautiful as the previous one. The lost the agression, the sex appeal, and i dare say: from most of the angles, it looks fat. It's not obese, but it's not skinny either. Those MC20 headlights simply don't fit with the front end. And i'm not even talking about the electric Folglore version. Because it's electric, it doesn't need an engine, and because it doesn't need an engine, it doesn't need a cooling system. Still, that's no reason for making the front bumper look absolutely saggy and melted.

The editor deserves a cookie. Seriously. Man of culture indeed.

Car companies don't prosper by building cars that appeal to enthusiasts; they prosper by building jacked-up minivans. Porsche almost went bankrupt when they just sold sports cars. These days I can't tell one Subaru from another but sales have soared in the last ten years.

The second of the three honourable mentions is a ZB Commodore, which was based on an Opel Insignia and won the 2021 and 2022 Supercars Championship

The gran turismo is tragic. The prettiest car ever fucked up.

Bring back the old transition

5:22 That is most genuine response ever after seeing that eyes bleeder

The new Maserati looks a bit like a Karma

I kinda like the pontiac gto '04,but the name doesn't deserve on the car.They should've made a new name for it back then.The gto have to put on hiatus for upcoming retrostyle muscle,but what are the odds of that happening?i miss the holden monaro/gto.

Porsche 911 has been dead for decades, the corpse won't stay in the ground. How many of their own cars did they nerf to keep it at the top going all the way back to the 944 and 928?

another amazing video. keep em coming guys.

Honestly I know the new Lamborghini countach is amazing but all it should be not exist at all because I much prefer the original then the new one that already made in the first place

I agree for the BMW 8 series, they should have just let the 6 series name and make an 8 series as a competitor for the Aston db11 and Maserati Granturismo... speaking of which, i agree on that as well, and same for the Dodge Dart and for the missed opportunity of a new Alfa Duetto (it would have been glorious with the 4c engine...). Regarding the Countach i think it looks gorgeous, even if the Syàn which is based on looks even more special (more "countachy" if you want), maybe it was just better to complement the name as "Countach Tributo" just to clarify that it was just a limited production model meant as a tribute of the original, instead of being a successor (which is not, that was the Diablo at the time). Hell, Bugatti even did the same thing with the Centodieci. I do not agree for the GTO, the Beetle and the Integra, The GTO was still a cool car and while being a bit blandish that was the only problem, not that it didn't look retro enough... it could have been just a little more "decise" looking to compliment it's roar while remaining modern looking. The New Beetle was a cool tribute in my opinion, it looked modern enough while remembering the idea of the original, even if in my opinion it could have been better if slighty smaller or more "coupe like" to further differentiate it from the Golf from a driving standpoint. And please stop glorifing the old Integra like a rare supercar of some sort, the Integra was super cool but it was just a slightly sportier, more upmarket version of the Civic, and that's exactly what the new model is. The Type-S version isn't even out and people keep complaining that it looks too normal (those people probably never saw the original base Integra models apparently...) or even worse, that it doesn't look like a 20+ year old model... Imho it looks exactly how a more upmarket, Acura branded version of the Civic should look like... Did you expected a monster coupe unique model kind of like a lower tier NSX that people wouldn't even buy? That's not what an Integra is. It's fine if you don't like the new looks but don't just assume that that's not how the Integra should be.

Superb - thank you for a video ^_^

The new GTO wasn’t “based” on the Monaro it WAS a Monaro. The only difference is the front bumper/grill and the name. And the styling was the exact same as the Holden commodores of the time the only difference being the GTO/Monaro was a 2 door. So it never had retro styling simply because the Monaro wasn’t designed to look retro it was designed as a 2 door commodore and had the old Monaro name thrown on it. And was then shipped off over to the states as the GTO and pommy land and badged as a Vauxhall. So yeah it “failed” as a GTO because it was never intended to be one in the first place. It was a 2 door commodore whose name was a throw back to the old Monaro’s of the late 60’s and the 70’s. So yeah not the cars fault as much as it was GM’s lazily slapping the GTO name on an Aussie car.

My guesses for the HM's: Beetle Vectra Integra

Tbh i really agree with you i also think that they could do something more special instead of making an aventador with bodykit and a different name. Also think that dart used to be pretty badass but they decided to make it a shitbox. And it's a little sad that noone didn't care about the newer gto but atleast it was a sleeper.

Honorable mentions 1. Volkswagon New beetle 2.Holden Commodore 3.Acura ILX I know my cars when I see one

You left out the Chevrolet Impala. It went from high-performance sedan to mundane company car in 2000 that you don’t stand out in. It’s never a good sign when a majority of your car’s production (2006-13 Impala) goes to rental fleets and company car fleets.

Man I was ready to come after you idk call you names or something 🤣 but after the video. I have to agree although I do like the countach. The others I can see your point. Especially the Dart. I was waiting for a terrible list of random cars but you picked out some great one that should have stayed dead. Lol

Your lists are 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up 👍🏽

Interesting choices, in my opinion the honda nsx should‘ve been included too

0:35 Mike Tyson: THERIOUTHLY!! 😂😂 THERIOUTHLY Stype is a legend. 😝😜

While all those new Camaros, Challengers and Mustangs have all that fine and classical looks... Man, I miss those 90s to early 00s forms. All those 4th gens of Mustang, Camaro, etc. Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of 2002 is still one of my favourite cars, paired with Camaro (thanks to NFS High Stakes), Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R looks nuts, and GTO for me was quite iconic (thanks to NFS MW). They have their charm, despite they don't look as brick.

1. VW Beetle 2. Buick Regal 3. Acura Integra

A 99% with you.... That Alfa from the 90's looks sooo good to be true...

The Countach at 10:22 is the production car which in my opinion resembles the most with Lancia Stratos Zero HF, one of the most beautiful and futuristic cars ever.

You're completely right about the Maybach one. I saw one when I was out to get groceries one time and I only realized what it was by the lettering on the back.

The only company that milked the hell out of it's name and managed to do it without failing is Pagani Zonda.

New GranTurismo have the same exterior design mistakes as the new F-Type. Smaller Headlights and muted less body lines. Shame.

Lacia delta should definately be up there too

you should put more videos often ..i love watching them

You WILD for that Caitlin Joke!!!! I am in rigor mortis now.

When you're such a stype fan you like before watching 😂😂❤️

when the new 8 series came out i taught the same thing stype.u are right 🤟🏾

Rapidly becoming my favourite automotive entertainment channel. Keep up the great work!

@top cars I am a fan of your humor and the visual references added to your videos.

1. VW beetle? 2. Buick idk 3. Acura integra

for me personally, Mitsubishi shouldve kept the Eclipse dead. It used to be a sporty car for the small man because it was cheap. Now its a car for a family dad that is about to enter his midlive crisis. Such a glow down

1. VW New Beetle 2. Vauxhall/Opel Insignia 3. Acura Integra

This video went from a BMW M8 to a Dodge Fiat almost 30 decades later, in just two minutes.

Don't forget the new Mitsubishi Eclipse

I actually like the 8 series even though it is more of a 6 series they probably used the name 8 series just for the marketing and the electric quatroporte is not the only electric car wich should be on this list in my opinion the electric demon it now has 4 wheel drive for performance even though it wasn’t a performance car at all and engine noises wich I think is stupid for that car because it wil never sound as good as the petrol one

Alfa Romeo is spelt with an “f” rather than a “p” I had the GTV in Australia both the 2 litre and V6. They were popular cars pretty much everywhere in the world except the US where they were not sold. The spider version I think looked great especially in V6 form which the original Spider never had. Sure it was front wheel drive but it was still a very nice car.

The thing about the countach is that when it first came out there was no other car looking like that now how many aventador are out by now how many huracan are out by now its just more of the same just with a diffrent name

The Spider was bold in its design you either loved or hated it. And many loved it and if you see one driving now (a rarity) they are one of a kind. A nice V6, but it did not drive well in a sporty way. In that sense it was like the old one.

Great video dude

Last laugh on the New Beetle, though. Sure, it's awful, but it's been a consistent seller and what it's done in mild PR for 20+ years is invaluable.

the Holden Monaro is one of dem cars that DEFINITELY shouldnt have stayed dead, compare the 1970 Monaro with a 2003 HSV Monaro

Alfa Romeo's new Spider and gtv are awesome and now very collectable!😅 Up in value

The new Countach is in the same lineage as almost all the limited editions "Lamborghini" (VW) did starting with the Reventòn wich simply was a murcielago with a different body, then they did it with the centenario based on the Aventador and then with the Siàn wich is an Aventador with a little electric motor. The only reason they do that is because they just have to design a new bodywork wich costs almost nothing and they can then sell a 200,000$ car for millions. And the reason why people buy it is because in a few years they can sell it for millions more. Why I really hate what they did with the Countach is because VW had the money to make something great with a manual gearbox for example but the choose to make a soulless profitable product. I freaking lost it when during the presentation Stefan Winkelmann said that "Countach" is an Italian word that translate to "beautiful". That's what you get when cold calculated Germans make a car supposed to be made and engineered by flamboyant and mad italians. From an angry German (sorry it was long..)

6.0L GTO is great. I'm glad Pontiac got a chance to bring that and the G8 to the US before they died - at least they had a couple of cool models in their twilight years

Bro!! I was making Tim Allen caveman noises the whole time I was watching this vid! I especially appreciated your anti-EV bash. I found it very refreshing. especially when every other care channel is just wetting their pants over EVs, which is just sooo nauseating. your earned my subscription today. Keep it up!

Bro, your hilarious ! Keep up the good work

The new Countach is my favorite lamborghini of the last 10 years, why? Its design is actually clean instead of trying to be as outrageous as possible, like pretty much any new lambo.

5:18: the music, the editing, the man shouting, so perfect ahahahahahah 🤣🤩👍

1970 Dart Swinger 340 4/m….love that car. I paid $1200 for mine in “72. Now, 50k.

The real 840 is a dream car, I dont like most BMWs but the 840 is stunning. The GTO shouldn't have been called a GTO, personally I love it, as the monaro or the vxr8, or the gto, its a muscle sleeper because it doesn't look like it's about to tear your face off, but it will. Great vid Stype

As a portuguese speaker, saying "DragRacismo" would put me in jail

Damn, I really disagree on the VW NEW BEETLE. I own a New Beetle from ‘98 and I’m in the middle with of twin-turbocharging it. (2 garret T51s)

If they had have promoted the monaro properly it would have been the bomb... the holden commodore with the LS series of motors is brilliant.

A car that did get it right was the S2000. A more than fitting tribute to the Honda S cars of the 1960s. I don’t know why that popped into my head, but that would be a good start to a video of manufacturers who got it right.

Lol, the evil within 2 refrence was on point 😂

You forget, the first oil shortage was manufacturer by the Oil Companies.

Mitsubishi eclipse. Legendary compact brought back as a E-SUV

Have to disagree on Maybach -- I can spot those a mile away, they're that distinct. I remember the first time seeing one in NYC.

I will defend the 04-06 GTO with everything. It was an amazing car. Sure, it didn't look retro, but it was amazing. Heck it had the 6.0. It was an absolute monster

that last car that shoulda been in production was the Terzo Millenio

The GTO wasn't just based on the Holden Monaro, it was a Holden Monaro, same engine, same chassis, same interior, same styling and same body, the only difference is the grill, the front bumper and a minor change to the wheels. It is a straight up rebadge just like the Pontiac G8, the Chevy SS and the Pontiac G9 concept, these are all Holdens.

lets be onest in my opinion the new dart looks ugly but its a total sleeper know why? cuz it had a turbocharged engine option so that means u go zoom zoom and also that car even came a manual witch is fun also the bmw m8 in my opinion is one the sickest looking cars that bmw made at least doent have that giant grill also that car fast too and lastly the new gto even tho it didnt look retro it was super sick and fast and thank god it came from a cool holden

this guy trying to bring back 2010 humor *Top 7 Memes that Should've STAYED DEAD*

Damn, Alpha had an opportunity. Talk about pissing away your chance. They had a winning lottery ticket, consisting of numbers someone else provided. All they had to do was buy it and cash it in.

the thing ive noticed in car design is that cars of the olden days were VERY pretty, but had alot of mechanical and technical issues. so why dont they bring back the old shapes with todays technology in them??

The old Countach looks like it was designed by someone on cocaine while watching Star Wars. The new one looks good, but it's just too modern and mainstream. And the fact that it's an -automated manual- automatic is just completely insulting.

I mostly agree but countach is a beautiful model and it's sole purpose of revival is to bring it's looks and design back to life
