Old Classic Cars that Were Remade for the Better or Worse

12. 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

Sometimes a car model name is banished to the hinterlands for various reasons, such as guilt by association where people's memories of previous models under that name are just too damning. Take the Ford Pinto, for example, where problems with gas-tank ignition in rear-end collisions created a vivid image associated with the name. The Cavalier was just another lackluster 1980s model with a poor safety record, which made it to 2005 in the USA, but the name has carried on overseas in China until the present year.
