a few ideas off the top of my head of stuff i'd be genuinely interested in:

1)something along the lines of the holden caprice, a 4 door full size with the lsX series engine, except available 6 speed manual or 5 speed auto (it's definitely time to retire the 700r4/4l60/4l60e already), rwd with optional awd, and hell maybe even a station wagon variant. The sedan should have fold down rear seats regardless for transporting big ****.

2)a real! truck/suv, **** all this cushy ****. Take a tahoe and gut the interior. Two front buckets, a removable center console, and a removable back bench. all the interior parts should be waterproof, and no carpet, just rubber/plastic - along the lines of the honda element. comes with 2 or 4 doors, rwd or awd, a bunch of different engines, including a big cube small block or big block torque monster and an available manual trans. Take all the police tahoe suspension parts so it handles well. throw in a removable roof section, going back to the K-blazer days. And it should be dirt assed cheap. That's what a truck should be, none of this soccer mom *********.

I want a truck that's cheap enough to be a second vehicle, but it should be able to tow, occasionally haul big ****, get me around in crappy winter weather and it washes out with a hose. i want something that is going to run forever too because it's too simple to break. no AWD, 4wd, with a transfer case that you shift with a level, a manual transmission,simple controls, no power options, etc.

3)something that's alternative fuel and gets ridiculous gas mileage, but it's actually cool. Maybe a little retro deal like a pt cruiser, but give it a harley davidson v-twin powering two electric motors for something like 250-300 hp, but 40+ mpg city and highway. Something with the sound of muscle, decent power, and the looks of muscle, but it's good on gas. I don't see how something like that wouldn't sell ridiculously. Who wants to drive a car that gets great mileage if it looks and sounds like ****?
