An affordable PHEV Wagon. The only one I know of is a 80k Volvo…

A modern TVR Chimaera

Classic American construction, or even better, modular construction.

It doesn’t have to be American built, but a big engine bay with plenty of room around the engine is priority. All modern cars have engines jammed into really tiny engine compartments, and that makes it very difficult and tedious to work on them. Maintenance time goes up, and it becomes more expensive to repair with a smaller engine bay. Naturally, this would either increase the car size (ideal) or decrease engine size (not ideal).

Also, improved safety technology. Currently, safety technology adds a lot of weight to cars. If they can trim that weight down a lot, it would be good for most vehicles to weigh under 3000 lbs. Bigger, heavier cars are safer to the people inside, but deadlier to anyone else that might be involved in a crash with those cars. More weight means more kinetic energy that has to go somewhere, so if weight can be reduced it not only helps with vehicle safety, but fuel economy as well.

More wagons!

I want a van with the same level of finish and comfort as in my nice hatchbacks/sedan. Spacious back row for the kid when on family trips that can fold flat for my business needs the rest of the year.

I also want it electric and not to cost an arm and a leg… Today I would be looking at things like a Berlingo that are only affordable in 2.5-seater configurations, the 5 seaters are crazy expensive, and the electric ones have shit range still compared to smaller chap EVs.

The rest is all way far out of budget (like Volkswagen id buzz)

Lift kits that can be lowered back to factory height if someone flashes their high beams or four way flashers, mandatory feature.

Or lift kits that ask you every five minutes: “it looks like you are driving on road. Please confirm you would like to remain in the lifted position”

Really, just anything simpler than what’s available now. There’s a reason I drive a 22 year old car.

More functions and widgets means more things that break.

I don’t want my car to transmit everything I do to the mothership.

I don’t want cruise control to hit the brakes for me.

Touch screens are the worst. Just awful…

Manual transmissions are just fun! I support EV’s and I know manual transmissions will go the way of the warrior once EV’s take over but damn, I’ll miss it!

Light weight, air cooled, 2 cylinder, fwd, no computers, clever design, cheap to buy, cheap to run. A 2CV if you will.

Rear facing back seat all day

Mazda Miata with pop up head lights

Regular cab short bed truck with a big motor.

I also love wagons! Something like a new CTS-V wagon would be cool.

Square body pickup trucks

DeLorean

Electric ragtop ‘64 Cadillac DeVille.
