What car do you wish was available to buy new today ?

18-11-2011 4:12pm#1The more I look at modern cars, the more I wish for someone to be a bit 'retro' and release a car like this:
200 bhp petrol, rwd, lsd, bare minimum of non-essentials, light, 4-cyl engine.
It would sell like hot cakes.
Now where have I seen one of those again ?
The MX-5 has all the underpinnings of it, why not stick a saloon bodyshell on it?
So if you wanted a car built to your spec, what would you ask for ?0

Talbot T-150
I really wish there were more proper retro style cars out there. Things like the new mini, Fiat 500, new beetle don't count at all.
If they only updated the engine of an old car and left the rest alone, made the interior out of the same materials, original tiny steering wheel instead of a big lump of Chinese plastic with an air bag in it and plastered with controls for the "InfoTainment" system

Haha. Well that's half the point of it really. It's brash and it's big. It was designed more as a Touring car really, so reflects that in the road version, which is pretty damn rare these days.
I would agree that it's somewhat overstated, but I think thats part of the charm. I'd still have one tomorrow if possible.

This:
with today's standard of corrosion protection
Absolutely agree!
I was in Stockholm this year for a few days and the mad metal you see on the roads there is unreal, after a few days you stop looking at Audi R8's, BMW 6 series convertibles and only look out for the more mental American muscle cars and convertible tanks, Ferraris, etc...
But I did see one Renault 4 and realised I haven't seen one in years!
2CV's are common as muck in comparison, but you never see one of those.
As for my wishes:
The 1977 Mercedes 450SEL bored out to 6.9 liters of madness:
And the MKI Scirocco, even rarer than the R4:

And more stuff comes to mind...
Not todays modern version
These 2 are a must
Droolworthy
Any of the cars in this photo
I miss old cars quite a lot, stuff you'd see in he early 90s. Remember the cars around that era on the roads?
They don't make them as exciting as they used to
