By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
We got a ton of comments on the list of “Top Ten Vehicles That Need to Come Back”. I didn’t include any of the cars below cause they are all from dead brands. But if we lived in an alternate universe, then yes, all of these rides would need to come back! See the rest of the list after the jump!

The CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot: The 1969 – 73 Imperial Coupe
By Jim Brennan
UDMan
Welcome to another edition of the CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot, where I find Obscure Cars that should be considered Muscle Cars, and then try and convince you that they belong in the Parking Lot. Chrysler Corporation was at the forefront of the muscle car era, offering iconic high-performance machines such as the Road Runner, the Charger, the Super Bee, the Plymouth GTX, the Baracuda, and even the Chrysler 300. There is one division within the company, Imperial, that produced more of an understated luxurious automobile. However, by 1969, Imperial shared most of its body, chassis, engine, and even its dimensions with its Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth stablemates. With this in mind, one could purchase a coupe version of the Imperial, equipped with a 440 CID V-8, and have almost as much performance as either the Dodge Polara, or Plymouth Fury GT, in a more refined package. So, is the Imperial an Obscure Muscle Car? Let’s find out.

Cadillac Drops Two Doors in LA

StreetFire.net
Much like the impending drop top Camaro we knew it was coming, this, the Coupe version of Cadillac’s comely CTS. And there it sat with little fanfare at the LA Auto Show. Our only hint was an invite-only affair on the eve of the show’s press days that apparently we weren’t invited to (that’s okay, we just cuddled up on the couch with some warm tea and a yummy chick flick – French Kiss, if you must know). Hit the jump for more on the CTS Coupe and less on Meg Ryan.

By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
The 370z beat the Solstice GXP Coupe by almost a 3-to-1 margin in this week’s Showroom Showdown. Ouch. And as usual, I got some flack from some several folks here on the match-up. Hey, it’s not easy coming up with a new showdown each week. The vehicles should have the same number of doors and seats and be priced about the same. Think you can do better? Leave a comment!

By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
This week’s Showroom Showdown is the battle of the high end Shelby kit cars. Both can be built up with the drivetrain of your choice to be wicked fast. The Superformance rolling chassis is manufactured in South Africa, while the aluminum Kirkham bodies come from a Polish jet aircraft factory and are finished at their facility in Utah. So do you prefer the muscular roadster or the sumptuous lines of the coupe? Which would you choose?
