I’m partial to the Reynolds’s version myself.

Now that Alfa has been slowly returning to the US, and the mid-engine Corvette may actually be happening, what will replace them now that “the RX-7 is totally coming back, guys, Mazda hasn’t given up on the rotary and it’s going to be amazing!” is the only thing left for car magazines to insist is just around the corner?

Citroen is apparently thinking about coming back by using the DS line to take on the Mini but that just isn’t on the level of the mid-engine Corvette and the return of Alfa as far as “the thing that gets you excited while reading Motor Trend on an airplane” goes.

Because of the lack of things to wish for, and how what once was bullshit is now coming true, I’m going to try to leverage this magical energy and say that the Dusenberg marque is being revived for an American engineered and built Rolls-Royce/Bentley competitor called the Model K, combining the absolute luxury of a Rolls with the sporting character of a Bentley to capture the spirit of the Model J and create a true successor to the greatest nameplate in automotive history outside of Bugatti.

Careful what you wish for.

Borgward is a total disappointment so far.

Let’s be honest, Borgward is one of those nameplates we bring out to show how deep our car nerd cuts go, and acting like it ever was a thing is more of a car nerd pseudo-meme along the lines of saying “Matra is the best French car company of all time” or “the Skyline was better when it was a Prince and not a Nissan” than a real company, and the fact that exists at all in any form is a weird miracle.

Dusenberg, despite being dead for almost 80 years, is a marque that has value beyond car culture. I mean, people have been saying something is “a doozy” for a period of time several times longer than the company that inspired that phrase built cars.

Dusenberg is a badge that is in need of a revival than any other dead marque, and it’s one that is so concrete in what it stands for that it’s near impossible to get wrong in the way VW has gotten Bugatti.

Seriously, VW has gotten Bugatti so wrong (beyond how upsetting it is to have the greatest name in the history of cars, which was effectively killed by the Nazi invasion of France, under the control of fucking Volkswagen) that the greatest proof that ghosts do not exist is that the spirit of Ettore Bugatti hasn’t risen from the grave to destroy all of Germany for how thoroughly VW failed to understand the “art in the medium of cars” philosophy that Bugatti was founded on.
