    There is a lot of talk about the best car that ever existed, but what is the best car that never existed?

    I'm talking about cars that never were made, but realistically could have been, and would have been your favourite if they were a thing. Stuff like a 1970 Chevelle SS wagon, a 24-cylinder car, an NSX convertible...

    So what made-up car would have been your favourite?

    USDM kei cars. If they ever stop being non-existent I might get one (esp something like the Honda S660).

    GM R-platform

    The C2 corvette was one of the first cars to have the trans in the back and the engine in the front. The idea was that all future GM passenger cars would share that design/platform. What if? Would we get better handling muscle cars?
