Default What kind of car would you want, that isn't made?

I was thinking today, how I wish some car maker would build a rear drive 2 door hatch with a turbo 4 banger or a small 6. Something along the lines of Volvo's C30 or a GTi, but in a rear drive configuration. Kind of like the old Z3 M Coupe, but with a rear seat that's useable.
Or how about.....a small el camino? No really. Like the size of a civic or focus, but as a truck. Rememebr the old Dodge Rampage? That would be different.

I'd also like to see a totally well built car, built to aircraft type quality specs, but with no power crap....no power seats, no power windows, no bluetooth, nav system, no electronic traction control, none of that. Just a completely solid well built completely modern and all mechanical car, no computer stuff, not even fuel injection. That might be interesting.

I dunno, just brainstorming. If you could tell the car makers of the world to build a type of car, what would it be?

Damn, thats a good question man. Id like to see a street-legal quad. Kinda like a 4 wheeled gixxer, something you could slide a bit.

you havent seen the new pontiac g8 truck thing based on the Commodore ute? its bigger then a civic and its got a v8 but it still looks like it would be a pretty cool car.

A small truck (size of a Ford Ranger) with a small turbo diesel 4 banger that gets 40-50mpg hwy and one that I could run on homemade biodiesel. Then maybe I could justify getting myself a 4 wheeler...

if it could be done, an awd, rear engine, massive quad rotary, quad turbo, convertable sick ass coupe, but not big, and heavy, no power bullshit like stated above, simple, no PS, just AC, no added handling control, etc etc, it would be sick.
