Fantasy cars which you wish were built

Sticking with Jaguar, I'd have liked to have seen the X-Type R go into production. They made some prototypes, but I suspect the X-Types chocolate teapot transfer box put paid to that idea.
Today, I really wish they would put the Ingenium-6 in the XF, which is crying out for a suitable powerplant.
In fact, I'd love for Jaguar to bear any resemblance to the manufacturer it was a decade or so ago.

Project Kimber. Back in 2006 a group who's bid for MG/Rover fell through bought the Smart Roadster tooling with the intention of making a new AC Ace/MG Midget based on it, with a 1.0 engine and manual gearbox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Kimber
Nothing happened and by 2008/9 it was gone.

As someone who loves small pick up trucks - a replacement for the Jumbuck, Subaru M.V., Felicia etc. would be good.
And whilst I'm at it - higher spec' versions would be nice. Keep the basic, wipe clean interiors to keep them practical, as little tech' as possible, but with the performance options of the sportier siblings...
Our Jumbuck could've done with being more like this Evo spec' example...
And, similarly, our Scoob would've been livelier at the 330 brake spec' of a club members Impreza engined version...
Sadly, they won't sell, and aside from G.M.C.'s Syclone I struggle to come up with any successful examples...

I have never given this much thought but there was one which I always thought would be a great idea.
A SportKa using the second generation Ka. The original SporKa was such a laugh, only about 95bhp but big arches, bigger wheels and great handling.
Always thought how cool the second gen Ka would have been if they'd done the same, bigger wheels and arches then a 120-130bhp version of the 1.0 ecoboost engine.

It shared its base with the Fiat 500, it's odd that Ford never did anything with it. Abarth chassis with an Ecoboost would have been a giggle. A SportKa using the second generation Ka. The original SporKa was such a laugh, only about 95bhp but big arches, bigger wheels and great handling.
