Duesenberg.

This is my pick too, but aiming at BMW and Mercedes is too low.

Duesenberg

I know it’s just one model, not a brand, but I want the Honda Element back.

Stretch the budget a few grand and get a Cayman GTS 4.0.

2015 Jaaaaaag F-type R. Low mileage ones go for around $50k. No manual, but probably one of the best exhaust sounds out there.

Came here to post Pontiac Aztek. Absolutely the first car that springs to mind from this question.

Honestly, I really just think the Aztek was ahead of its time. If something like that came out now, it would sell like hotcakes. 

The Honda Element

In the US market? The Fiat 500 and 500 Abarth. Appreciated by enthusiasts, but generally underappreciated by everyone. I’ll even include the 124 Spider as a bonus answer.

The Homer.

yeah its not an old defender. its better. itll run circles around the old one off road and its worlds better onroad. still wont stay running.

One can love cars and still have a broad perspective. 

The EV question isn’t good vs bad. EVs are the lesser of two evils.

The Viper is still my dream car. If I had the money and I found one stuck in some showroom in Montana or something, I would buy it.

Ehh, the interior could use a little bit of... I’m not sure luxury is the right term, but it could use something to make it a bit less questionable where exactly the $90,000 went to. Maybe just higher end materials and such.

If there’s one group you want to trust with building a car run entirely on electrics, it’s the British.

Seconded. I’d read it though, if that was an option.

No.  No I won’t.  

Well, he’s saying that nobody actually wants EVs, and I’m showing him that people will buy an EV over its gas competitors. I think it makes more sense to compare a premium sedan to other premium sedans than to a cheaper crossover.
