In any model year, the most attractive for me would be the cheapest,
with power NOTHING, computer-controlled NOTHING, manual EVERYTHING,
lots of headroom and legroom, analogue sweep dials, no check lights.
Airbags okay.

If a manufacturer would build that car, I would then and only then
consider "aesthetics".

Basic-spec Toyota Aygo/Pug 107/Cit C1. Power steering & ABS/EBD/CSC (ESP
is an option), unfortunately, but that's about your lot as far as toys
go. Even got keep-fit windows.

The other option, of course, is to go _properly_ retro. I've been giving
'erselfs 20yo Pug 205 a hoof today. If it was a 1.0, instead of 1.1, it
wouldn't even have servo brakes. Good fun to lob about, and only cost us
a hundred quid.

For starters without a microprocessor the manufacture could not meet the
current EPA requirements and thus could not sell a car like that

And the vette (*any* version) and Viper (*any* version) tears both the
above a new one. Having a sports car with more than 2 seats is a bad
start.
