I second this nomination. IMO, Spyker has the best of the modern emblems — It looks like it hasn't changed in a hundred years (whether or not that may be the case in reality). So it has that old school flair to it.

#1 - Good way to burn fuel in a Veyron. Esp since thats where all the fuel and Veyrons are anyway.

Oh man, I've been waiting for this one for a while. Easy: Mercedes R63 AMG. Fucking RWD 6.3 liter AMG V8'd MINIVAN! Comfy, spacious, *and* fun to drive. Can race supercars on the highway, can fit all my family or friends and all their stuff, supremely comfortable with leather, wood and gadgets... Hauls people,…

I always thought the Tesla Roadster was brilliant because it was the first sort of eco-nvertible — it allowed environmentally-conscious people to be exposed to, well, the environment. Makes all the sense in the world. So how about an even more outdoorsy type of vehicle? I'm envisioning a sort of open-top off-roader…

Is that it? That's an Altima.

Nah, Mercedes did it at least 5 years ago with the Ocean Drive Concept. It can be done. I also agree that it needs to be done. Lincoln is dead... it needs to be Cadillac'd, but starting with big stuff like that, this time. Caddy also needs to start making kick ass big yachts again. Get it together, 'Murica.

Heartclick. That sounds amazing.

I was pretty surprised he didn't even mention it. I'd call that genesis as far as Audi's small fast estate car lineup is concerned.

I know its not as quirky, or amphibious, as many of the other answers here, but in *reality* land, I think a Jeep Wrangler would be a pretty perfect island car. You can scale volcanos and cruise beaches, top up or down, probably wade in a good bit of water, and hose the whole thing off in and out when you're done. And…

Cuz we got the bombs.

I'm with you on all counts. But, as long as you're going with a classic Jeep that you don't currently own, you should really consider making it one of these gems: [www.grandwagoneer.com] ? Imagine how startled the Europeans would be by the fit and finish.

Or let anyone see you with your cousin/wife.

Simon Cowell also fits #1 on your list there.

Shit, does it have room for two? I'll bring beer and shmoke.

Well, I fucking can't.

This looks the closest to me. The A and C pillars, the overall shape of the glass, and the car, and the position of the lights & reflectors.... This gets my endorsement.

Also, fantastic handling.

How has this not made it yet? RWD, pretty fast, and easily tunable for added fastness, fits anything you could ever want to haul, it tows, has good ride height for light off-roading, seats up to 7... what else could you want? Its also cheap and unbelievably reliable.

Yeah, seriously.
