    I can't verify it, but I'm pretty sure they still make 1970 Chevelles somewhere in the 3rd world. Every single one of them is red with black stripes. #qotd

    Lots of great candidates already mentioned, but I vote for the Mercedes-Benz W126 sedans and hardtop coupe (Yeah, I know, "Biased much?"). Drop in current engines and drivetrains (gas, diesel and yes, even the hybrid with AWD optional on many models), upgrade to larger wheels (but not big enough to require rubber-band sidewalls), update the interior (Late ones were available with dual airbags, but at the expense of a proper glovebox.), and refresh the front and rear styling (integrated-looking bumpers, integrated grilles on the sedans) without tacking on any of the RX-8/neo-Ponton fender sculpting nonsense.

    Do that, and you'd have a rugged, roomy, comfy, simple (by current standards) and beautifully proportioned car just a tick bigger than the new E-Class. Offer it in every guise from an MB-Tex seat short-wheelbase sedan with a diesel 4-banger and a six-speed stick to a leather-lined AMG Black Series coupe with optional rear-seat-delete and the turbo V12 crammed under the hood.

    And if you're feeling really adventurous, Daimler, add a wagon version, or better yet, two: a 5-seater built off the SWB body, and a 7- or 8-seater based on the LWB body.

    Wow, I think I may need a little alone time now...

    @Tomsk sez so long Ash78, and thanks for all the fish!: You're not alone! This was the first vehicle which came to my mind, even though, for daily use, I like driving the 124 I have now. The 126, even with just the 4.2L, is a thirsty monster and while it has amazing amounts of steering range, it is still a beast in older parking garages.

    I miss it, though.

    You know, from the previous comments just listed here (including mine) I get the feeling that Honda needs to just build a time machine to go back to the 90's and take a few lessons from themselves on how to properly build a car. #qotd

    Mercedes W123 and W124. Good when they came out, good as old cars, surely the car buying public would rather have a Mercedes designed 30 years ago than a Produca or a Geely designed last year. I would, for sure. #qotd

    Maybe Fiatsler will make the Fulvia concept from 2003, and sell it to the US as a Sebring.....(kidding) #qotd
