A rwd sedan with a manual transmission, V8, or turbo V6 that isn't a damn 'luxury' vehicle.
Pretty much any vehicle that I could order individual options instead of option packages. I shouldn't have to pay for Bose surround sound just because I want fog lights. |

Something with a simple to service design, with the engine in facing the right way. It should not be necessary to remove a dozen different plastic covers then disassemble half the engine just to access one part. Replaceing a $5 part should not cost $500.
In a perfect world: Diesel electric, a diesel generator is used to directly power an electric motor on each wheel. No battery banks, no transmission. The generator should be in a nice clean bay and be easy to service in place, or lift out by simply removing a few easy to access bolts and pulling a single wire harness. Ideally there would be some kind of built in hoist to raise it out. The motors on the wheel should likewise be easy to access and replace. A computer would control the entire thing and it would have a "glass cockpit, and be drove by wore with no mechanical linkages. If it requires more than a screw driver or a pair of pliers or a basic wrench it should not be on the car. If another part needs to be removed to access it, then it needs to be redesigned so that is not the case. The service manual should ne simple and not require a person to be a mechanic or possess any special mechanical aptitude to understand or perform any task in it. The body and frame should be aluminum or some other material that cannot rust, and all other parts should be sealed from the environment. No emissions control garbage. |

You can run 35's on a stock JK with no lift. Also, you wanna swap in a V8 that only makes a little over 10% more horsepower than the current V6. Plus the 4.7L weighs something like 300 lbs more. If I am asking for a Jeep it has the following: Dana 60s front and rear with selectable lockers (prefer ARB air lockers) Diesel motor Option for spray-in bed liner floors Much better sound system than stock Built-in auxiliary switches for winch, lighting, etc... Full cage from the factory More comfortable waterproof seats Onboard air compressor |

I've always wanted a max-effort supercharged LS or LT in a 2500HD chassis with mid-travel, selectable lockers F/R, swaybar disco, coilovers, adjustable air-bumps, bags, redundant fuel, oversized cooling w/ HX, pulled fenders, high-clearance bumpers, onboard HPTuners/EFILive, and more sensor diagnostic data. As soon as GM makes the HD version of the 10spd throw one of those in there for me too.
