I have to agree with the previous comment, and a lot of modernization would help bring back the marque, but the investment would be substantial, and if the car were cobbled together with other people's components, it would be no better than other specialist offerings out there, lacking the uniqueness so necessary in the high-price category. A Brisol-looking body on say, a Chevrolet Corvette chassis would be a good start. All the high-tech, performance oriented drivetrain would eliminate all the development work, and the expense. Another option would be the Infinity (Nissan), rear drive platform on the G-35 and Q45. A gorgeous body and luxurious interior would top it off. This option could even bring the price down to a realistic level, thus reaching a larger market.
Set all that thinking aside, and stick to the old formula, and watch the marque languish until it disappears. Whatever happens, someone or some group will need to take a]hard look before taking the leap.
