10 Classic Cars They NEED to Bring Back
Vložit

- Thanks to Valvoline for sponsoring this episode! Valvoline’s first breakthrough in motor oil was introducing it. And we’ve been re-inventing it ever since, from the world’s first high mileage oil to the world’s first synthetic blend. There are those who change with the times and those who drive them. Learn more at Valvoline.com/original.
Car companies love bringing back the classics, and they do it all the time. The Mustang. The NSX. The Bronco. But we don’t think manufacturers are bringing back ENOUGH of the right cars! This is a list of 10 classic cars that we think automakers should definitely bring back. From pony cars to muscle trucks, this is D-List!
Huge shout out to Esa Mustonen (@EsaMust) for sharing his MR2 render with us for the video and thumbnail.
And an equally huge shout out to Abimelec Design (@AbimelecDesign) for sharing some of his renders, too!
Sorry about the other renders that @joegweber and @35mm_cars did lol.

Called it.
What? there are two of you? I always thought you were one guy filming himself twice and splicing the footage.
@@JeffManseau
No, he's just vibrating really quickly between the two different seats. The rolling shutter effect means that it looks like there's one person in each seat.
It's like those videos of a helicopter where it looks like the blades aren't rotating
Wait I didn’t even know you were brothers, or is this like a joke I’m confused
Hello straight pipes! I’m a big fan!
That was the best sponsor segment Ive ever seen on youtube ever
If all ads were like this I would watch a compilation of them.
That what oil money does;)
@@thatwolffe3802 Superbowl compilation?!?
All yours 😂
It just lubricates the mind and makes concentration flow.
The sponsor was so intense I’m not even kidding it almost gave me goosebumps. Hands down best sponsor ever on CZcams.
The fact that he didn't even mention the rx7 is a absolute crime
As an rx-7 obsessed nerd, I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask for more rotaries, and that was proven to Mazda with how big of a flob the rx-8 was
@@Pekoe. To be fair, the RX-8 was a completely different type of car, the only thing it had in common with the RX-7 was that it was a Rotary. But even the Renesis was a pretty different type of engine to the 13b. (And it also wasn't as good)
Also the RX-8 kind of looked like shit anyways.

need rx-9
@@connormaclennan9673 imagine tho, RX-9, Mid-engine sports car that resembles the RX-7
This was the first sponsor ad that I didn’t skip.
I’m glad I didn’t.
Have you seen the Ford Bronco ad?
Me too bro :))
Same here
ad
Same!
“Powered by dodge”- has heart attack. Best marketing ever
*survives a heart attack ⚡⚡⚡
At young age too😂
Dodge. So powerful, you might have a heart attack.
You need russian memes
Or russian cars
The new Jimny is one of the coolest looking cars to come out in ages, apparently they are working on a long wheelbase and pick up version too
Love this list. My first car was a 1967 Cougar. And an MR2 Spyder was one of the most fun cars I ever test drove.

Javier Arreola I was surprised how much I enjoyed the ad
best commercial i have eeeeeever seen in ma life
OHHH GAWD - Nolan
I normally skip ads but wow that Valvoline spot was amazing
Riskyy stfu no one care you replied on everyone comment
It worth the time lol
James when he just gets to have fun with a sponsorship instead of just reading a script into the camera ;)
It was
I agree with all of these, I used to own an mr2 turbo and I really loved that car. One thing I would add to this is the Volkswagen Corrado...
Hey James I just started working for Oil changers, getting changed to Great Canadian Oil Changers! They were recently bought out by Valvoline!
Im excited for the new Valvoline uniforms and Valvoline training :)
This is literally the best in-video sponsor ad I have ever seen.
Yes
I vote Valvoline make this their new TV commercial
I’m not gonna lie. That’s the only ever CZcams sponsor segment I’ve ever watched and I feel like my brain gained an extra 12 buff horses.
Its one of the best
Watch Internet Comment Etiquette, every sponsor ad is a masterpiece. He created a whole serialized thing out of em. Worth the watch.
I wanted to like this but it had 69 likes and felt like i couldnt ruin it
Hey Frank Murphy
@@lukedanielgalon1596 take out the "one of" and you'll be correct.
I used to have a manual 2011 CRZ. honestly the best car I've ever driven to this day. I dream of having a CRX one day.
Also my number 1 car to bring back is the Silvia. We need an s16
had a 1st gen 1984 CRX my dad gave me, carbureted got 40+ mpg and had such a nice 5th gear. 70mph and you wouldn't realize it until you looked at the speedometer lol. wish I still had it!
I love watching all these videos. I know SO little about cars. It’s like just having my mind blown by how much people can know about cars constantly.
Plot twist: every single company decides to bring all of these back, but they all come back as crossovers so you wished they never came back at all
Sad but true and worse, the Corvette and the Camaro may be included.
@@beauxguidry5373 the corvette is changing but it is still an out and out sports car, it is just now mid-engined rather than front engined; fun fact the Corvette was intended to be mid-engined (by the designer Zora Arkus-Duntov) over 50 years ago as beautiful designs such as the Astro II show car show; design features of the Astro II seem to go into the third generation Corvette even if they were unwilling to change to mid-engined.
@@nathanthom8176 Would you like it if Corvette started making it's own cars? A small sports car that is a two seater with a smaller engine and/or a rally version of it? A Ute?
@@beauxguidry5373 Corvette is practically its own single model brand as is and I wasn't aware of any concepts that were off-road/suv like. I am not really bothered as long as the vehicle is good. Porsche have mainly made sports cars but they made rally/safari versions of the 911 (won stuff with them as well) and made a pretty good SUV in the Cayenne. Lambourghini made the Urus, which was another cool SUV. In short I think Corvette has enough brand recognition to be separated and they could expand thier vehicle roster but they need to make sure that they they always may two seater sports cars and that said cars are thier flagship.
@@nathanthom8176 What I meant is why doesn't Corvette make them?
Day 177 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
PaganiGaming you are a legend buddy
I see u, now i need to find the rest 176 comments.
Jevan.M 6A 19 be original dammit
I was looking for u
Brin a trophy for this legend
i’ve never seen a better ad for a sponsor in my life, valvoline made possibly the best choice they could have
I still have the hope that car manufactureres want to increase acceptance of EVs by going back to retro designs. Would be the way to go and make EVs more appealing if they didn't look like a spaceship. A bit like Opel did it with their Manta concept
this might have been the only Ad i've ever enjoyed watching
For real! I legit watched it from start to the end. Just beautiful.
True
Big Smoke Me too
It was so good! Lol
Lexus: spends 10 years developing a new car
James: “just cut off the back and you got a new car “
Really tho
10 years worth it. That's one of my dream cars 😍
This is the the only channel on the entire YT with ads so good that i actually watch them
Btw: Dodge seriously considered building the exact Like Red Express variant you mentioned, but knew it wouldn't be high volume and the trucks they did sell would mainly go to collectors who would throw it in a garage for 40 years. They didn't want another demon. It's not a volume truck and the the collectors ruin the niche vehicle market.
Best add ever
Valvoline is so lucky to have James as there spokesman
Y. E. S
I know the bathroom part though,🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️
@@mk7t472 "this is for every kid out there who ever dreamed about being a spokesman for ... something"
this needs more likes
Everytime James and Nolan are in a skit together it feels like a crossover. I don't know why.
Because it’s two different shows and they don’t go it much
Because James is built like a van and Nolan is like a sedan
“What is this, a crossover episode?”
The kind of crossover I don't just hate on principle.
WHY IS THE ECLIPSE AND SUV NOW
@@gasolinecowboy most underrated comment in this section
The first car I purchased new, was the 1990 Ford Escort GT, and it was an awesome little screamer!
It would haul ass, and get almost 40MPG if I drove conservatively.
I traded it in on a Probe GT in 1993, and have to admit, it was a blast to drive!
Speaking of the Ford Probe GT, that's one that Ford should bring back, but as it's own line, not the Mustang killer 2.0...
This sponsor read was just...a...b....i have no words for it it was just.....perfect!
Just like James' Dad should come back
Na man he belongs to the streets
I think he died or something
I think hes dead😔
@Federal Bureau of Investigation He went out to buy cigarettes and he didnt come back.
@@uhh_itshector9155 exactly, this makes it very sad
this is why we love donut.
*james can make friggin ads fun. we love u james*
Ok
I KNOW RIGHT?! That's how you make sponsor deals, period. Rest of the CZcams, take notes. Although mastery can't be copied.
I remember as a kid seeing a Lil Red Express every Sunday because someone at my church had one. I always thought it was so cool looking (because I had the Matchbox version of it) but had no idea how badass it was at the time.
The production quality is on point
James: I am an official Dodge affiliate
Also James: wearing a Toyota shirt
He has doge tattooed on his belly
when you love dodge, but you also need a car what can bring you back home
@@Kingshit-or1li yes sir, I had grand marquis it was totaled but by far the best car I've ever owned. I whoel heartedly doubt they could hold the reliability standards up to what they used to be in its price range. But would love it
At least Valvoline didn't make him do a blood /oil transfusion.
That's called "covering your bases".
Do a D list on members of donut media
GENIUS
Also make a up to speed on donut
TOP 10 DONUT EMPLOYEES sounds like a good way to incentivize staff - good idea!
@@Donut oh my goodness thanks for replying...
Donut Media that could also go the other way. don’t hurt peoples feelings.
What's up love that episode and all your content!!
Heh, neat! I owned two of these cars at one point (MR2, Samurai). They definitely both need to come back! I had so much fun in both of those cars, easily my favorite two cars I've ever owned!
Anything with a rotary. Sure it may explode but at least it’ll sound like a machine gun while its running.
Obviously 😄.
THE FURAI
I wish they could but the emissions standards are too tight that rotary engines wouldn’t be able to be put in new cars, unless they do some real changes.
@@maxrawalt6746 How about this: Update the 3rd gen FD RX-7 with a BIG, "Batman" update that makes it rock and stick in a bad-ass electric engine so it will compete with the new Tesla Roadster! :) But, ya know, less than half the cost :0
@@rtardbox yes or, and make the RX7 HYBRID!!! so Mazda people can scale down the rotary engine in order to pass emissions?
Now that's how you do an Ad. From now on.... THAT'S HOW YOU DO AN AD DONUT!!!!
I would never skip an ad like that XD, absolutely loved it
*mo powah babeh!*
I was raised as a Valvoline and Castrol guy. Hearing these facts about Valvoline makes me happy/proud I have almost used Valvoline almost exclusively in my car life with my two Civic Coupes and (current) 350z.
Usually I skip and dont care about sponsors but I have never skipped this this one and I care about it because 1st good oil 2nd best sponsor scene ever!
So no one is gonna talk about how good the "pour" cinematic edit was?
the toilet at the end got me
I was about to say the same thing
Facts😂
Probably the best ad spot on a YT video I've ever seen. And I've seen "RAID SHADO....
CZcams needs more sponsor ads like that because it was actually entertaining.
I heard that the guy that invented pop-up ads apologized to the world.
I owned a gen2 SW20 MR2 turbo, She was so fun to drive and in the dry she handled like a go cart.
Hey I was really excited about the CR-Z, I leased one for 3 years as soon as it came out. Definitely not the same as a CR-X but still tons of fun, I had no complaints!
Things that need to come back: James’ beard
Now you owe us a list of Classic cars that they shouldn't have brought back.
#supra #nsx #yikes
Tokyo o new Supra is so lame
@@tokyoo6720 both new ones are great wym
Ford Thunderbird
Louise Fennessy compared to the mk4 it looks terrible. They ruined a legend by rereleasing it
I literally liked right at 2:28 that was one of the only sponsors I was able to sit through and enjoy
Omg, that sponsorship segment was the best I've seen, great work!
Donut: "the only cars they build now is the fusion and the Mustang"
Ford: "yeah... About the fusion..."
Why cut a couple of doors off when you can cut the whole car. Nothing to break. CVT issues gone.
I was a big fan of ford for many many years. Now I'm not. Thanks ford for ruining that streak lol
Ford honestly sucks now
Fusion ST or RS
Fusions aren't bad.... But yeah can I see less mustang the over saturation is killing my love of this iconic car..... I'm a gm/pontiac guy but used to love them ...... Now it's like a basic BITCH at a bar
they need to bring back the Nissan Silvia because all of nissans sports cars are exspensive
They alredy brought it back.... as a fucking suv
@@grapefruitz2992 what?!
I checked and nothing came up
@ yeah, Nissan said the market didnt exist for a new s-chassis so they brought it back as the "Juke". Dont look it up
240z
@@REDSIX if a car has a real name instead of a combonation of letters and numbers just use it. Its nor an ae86 it was called trueno for a reason
Best advertisement ever! Even the lighting and music was on point
Yo sick render skills Max!
James: Bring back the Suzuki Samurai!
Suzuki Jimny: I'm already here, mate.
But it's not HERE. Our import laws suck.
The jimmy is such a cutie I love the idea of a tiny off-road ☺️
& i want the new Jumny ...
@@FUNKOfilms why you cant have it in the states ?
Its been a really hot selling vehicle here in the Ph and waiting lines are really long. Hopefully Suzuki comes back in USA.
Okay hear me out:
MR2 co-developed with Lotus.
Lotus already uses a Toyota powerplant (a performance Camry V6). And Lotus could provide the platform.
Lotus also worked on the engine for the Yaris GRMN
Just rebadge an evora as the MR2 with some changes to the bodylines and boom lol I mean give it the Supra treatment lol
Yes l love this idea, less snap oversteer tho! Lol Snap Snap snap right into a tree
@@Murica_gaming yeah but it sucks
Can Lotus make an affordable car though? Lol
Hands down, THE BEST sopnsor ad I've ever seen.
In high school I had a gold 75 Dodge Dart but my buddy Ray had a blue 68 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback. We both had 318ci V8's that started out with 2 barrel carburators and automatic transmissions. At first we were always dead even in a 1/4 mile race. Then we started modifying them with something new every week. A couple times a month we would race to see who made changes that made a difference.
James: Dodge loves building crazy cars that no other company in their right mind would approve
Dodge: cancels Viper
They'll approve the Viper, but the regulation definitely won't
The Viper got cancelled due to Air Bag requirements
That valvoline Sponsor ad was the best ad I’ve ever seen. The amount of effort put in was huge
absolutely😂😂😂
Only ads on CZcams I'll sit through! 👍🍻
The best sponsor segment I've ever seen.
One of my new fav videos just because he has never seemed more like himself finally.
No one:
James: has dodge tattoo but wearing a Toyota shirt
Wolf in sheep clothing
It's to throw off the EPA
Agree on the CRX!!
And the MR2
Typical car guy 😒
The most entertaining ad of all time, Pure gold 😂😂🔥
Bro when you sponsor these guys you already know its gonna be awsome and funny
That's the best motor oil commercial I've ever seen.....nice job gentlemen
I have a few more:
Nissan 240x
Bmw z8
Dodge viper
Lan Evo
Honda s2000
Integra type r
And fricking Mazda RX 7!!!!!
Why is the RX 7 not back yet?!
Cause Wankel engines are bad and couldn't meet modern standards
What about the rsx or the integra
Nick Kings They aint bad bro, just unreliable
Nick Kings + they are cool af
@@oskcasse3034 Aint unreliable, they need alot more care than the 4cylinder engines they use now, People dont know that, The rx7 13b is reliable compared to the rx8, that is an awful engine
Things that need to come back:
*James’ dad*
Sometimes you're better off without relatives. My dad is the same way and I still talk to my grandpa but they never speak to each other
Carl Rygwelski ok
I thought he passed away
Bart needs a comeback
Lol
The musical intros for this video are my favorite in any Donut video.
"Plymouth Barracuda" will never sound the same in my head again.
I'd love to see more videos with all of the Donut personalities: Nolan, James, Jeremiah, Justin, Zach, etc. In a game show or improvisational comedy segment. With cars, I guess
Cars not mentioned I would bring back:
Dodge Viper, Mitsubishi Evo, Lancia Stratos, Toyota Celica, Mazda RX-7, Dodge SRT-4, Chevy Chevelle, Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Buick GNX, Chevy Monte Carlo, Dodge Stealth, Pontiac GTO, Jaguar E-Type
What I think the Americans should do is bring back the Chevelle and Torino to compete with a 2 door Charger. Market the Stang, Camaro and Challenger a nimble track cars with V8s
Yellow Nationalist Wholeheartedly agree.
_ ZEN_ It was, and they sorta-kinda already brought it back. It was a modernized based-on-a-Ferrari thing, and it was like $300,000.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney I think I saw something about that on Top Gear or it could have been the Grand Tour. Someone else made a Lancia Delta Integrale as well. I meant they should be production cars made by Lancia available through their dealerships or ordered from the factory, etc.
the e type is now the f type think about it
One of the best ads I’ve ever seen!! .....didn’t fast forward it!!
Fuck Mobil 1, I want valvoline now lmao
You got your money’s worth for sure Valvoline. And no joke, your oil change centers are great too (at least the one I use in Santa Ana).
pep boys sponsor was waay better lol
Valvoline needs to make that ad one of their official tv and online ads. They’re really missing out.
Your idea of the cuda is exactly where I was thinking, yank out all the bells and whistles, only thing that should be whistling is the two turbos

Dear James & Nolan, You Should borrow a few lines from John Lawes. When you're on a good thing stick to it. As well as Valvoline you know what I mean.
First time I actually watched a donut ad 😂🤣
Best ad ever lol 🤣
I always do
Might even be even more entertaining than the actual video
@@ao8271 Same
I have high hopes for that Lancia. I also hope that they may able to bring back their WRC Rally crown.

Escort- eco sport ?
*Ford fans punching the ceiling in rage*
The New 2023 Ford Pinto
It’s still explosive?
The Pinto hybrid has a hidden timer that counts down to the battery exploding
Brandon Ford dude I made a concept for that.
Congrats on the Valvoline sponsor!
Donut has grown so much since I started watching.
I usually skip sponsor segments, but I'm glad I watched that one 😀
I work at a Valvoline service center, and I'll have you know that I'll be thinking about this intro every time I go to work.
"The el camino was a near perfect concept"
Ford Ranchero "Am I a Joke to you ?"
Hell when ever a truckcar is brought up all I ever hear is El Camino
Meh the El Camino was way better than the ranchero lol
Ford is bringing a small Ute to market called the Maverick. Maybe they'll have a Ranchero trim
Yea, i think they should just bring the Aussie Falcons here. Both 4dr and ute models.. and Mustangs should never get v6s they need to bring the Barra to the US in production..
@@brossovitch couldn't agree more.
Where are:
Silvia/240 SX
Eclipse GTX
3000 GT VR4
Evolution
Celica
Grand National Xperiment
RX7
Evo, 3000gt, Eclipse GSX all to come back... Like Mitsubishi is really dropping the ball. Like where did all the car people that use to work there go? Lol like honestly!
As the owner of a VR4, I'd like to see a modern version. There was recently a futuristic render made called the 4000GT but I really didn't like it. I wouldn't mind if it came electric either, considering VR4s always were a bit heavier, and also at the peak of technology. Just imagine if Mitsu could create a car as fast as the Taycan, but at the same price as a C8 corvette. It may be electric, but it needs to be fixable too. Another thing that's never gonna happen
A new GTO would be cool, but I know mitsubishi would make it a crossover or a pile of turd design
RX7 modern version would be the RX9
240sx is the 370z. Basically. And literally...
I miss my MR2. Literally one of the best cars ever made.
what happened
Thanks for including the beloved Samurai! Also, those Ram Chargers were big as an apartment on the inside lol
James: “Don’t stop looking at me guys!”
Again in a softer voice: seriously, *don’t*
😂😂😂
That’s sponsorship ad was the most epic story I’ve witnessed in my entire life!
Damn right! 😂
Lmao
Wow totally can’t even English I was so shook by it.
the focus RS redesigned got the same back as my lance ralliart sportsback. with the evo turbo and a few add ons on it I manage to get 320 4whp out of it.
my grandpa owned a cougar all the way into his 80's so I would love to see it come back
Mitsubishi evo and eclipse, they need to come back.
And 3000 GT, but especially the Evo
this comment is underrated!
I just want Mitsubishi to have good transmissions from the factory
Mitsubishi needs to invest in a time machine and prevent the Eclipse Cross from happening.
Yes to 3000gt
I love how the ads feel sooo good and they don’t feel like ads. More people need to do ads like this😂
1 thing that I actually can say I like about James, is that he’s lowkey funny ash and the like little skits y’all do are definitely the best and most funny😭🤣 he’s a born actor😊
That was the best advertisement for motor oil or really any product/service that I have ever seen.

"One word: Thundercougarfalconbird."
Ah yes, someone who still knows about Futurama
Or just F A L C O N? And maybe the Barra 6 as the engine? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Shmaxophone ive watched it ATLEAST 3 times start to finish
That was a really entertaining sponsor post!!! Wow.... forgot this was a car show! Need more!!!!!
My family has a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. It was the car my mom drove in high school and is even (at least partially) how my parents met. My dad was cruising main street with a buddy and jokes that he noticed the car first and then my mom. After my parents got married, I think my mom's brothers drove it for a bit while they were in school but then it ended up sitting in my grandparents backyard under a blue tarp, rotting away for like 20 years. My brother spent most of our childhoods/teen years+ trying to convince our step-grandma to give him the car. Finally, she did and thus began the very long and difficult process of restoring it. It is very much not original and still a work in progress due to some problems we had with the person who was restoring it but it is loads better than it was rotting under the tarp. I don't have the specifics off the top of my head, like what engine is now in it, but its a pretty sick car.
Legit the best ad I’ve EVER watched
