Electric jimny in 2wd format
They’d shift a tonne if they made those, would not need a massive battery, so cost would be reduced, we’d buy one in a heartbeat (we like jimmy’s here)
4 door jimny, perhaps small sliding rear doors
The 4 door is available in some markets. 4 proper doors. Looks like a bool washed G wagen.They’d shift a tonne if they made those, would not need a massive battery, so cost would be reduced, we’d buy one in a heartbeat (we like jimmy’s here)

...And a K20 CR-Z would have been nice.
On the subject of Honda engine swaps - the recent Civic estate would have been a superb yet sensible car if available with a K24 or the latest 1.5 petrol turbo. (I assume these engines are actually too old and too new to have been used in reality).

I wanted a V6 RX8. Rotary purists would be horrified, but there would still be many RX8's on the road if it wasn't for the Rotary grenade.
MX-5 with a rotary engine may have been fun. Or a small V6 like that fitted to the MX-3 coupe.americancrx said:
Lotus Esprit V8 with a sufficiently capable Getrag or Graziano transmission. It was always limited to 350 horsepower and 350 lbs*ft by that horrible Renault transmission and I find it hard to believe that they couldn't have sold an Esprit Sport 450 for ten grand more to cover something capable.
And then who knows what could have followed...
I'd have sold a child or two for one of these
Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk Super Stock.
Standard TrackHawk ‘just’ has the regular HellCat motor, which is about 710hp as per the equivalent Dodge Challenger. But the Challenger also has the option of the RedEye at 797hp and Super Stock at 807hp. The standard TrachHawk 710hp is plenty off the line and at lower speeds, but above ‘certain speeds’ the face-distorting acceleration drops off and the extra 100hp would be most welcome. It’d be the only thing I’d trade the TrackHawk in for. Come on Mopar - we need more power!
