I'd love a Yaris-sized hatchback vehicle that ran solely on electricity, had a 200 mile range, would charge either through on-board solar panels or on a 110V line in less than an hour, and had an option for a fuel-cell extender that catalyzes/charges solely during braking regeneration and in a user-selectable regeneration mode, such as when going downhill.

I truly wish it were that easy.

The technology just isn't here yet. Solar panels are not efficient enough, batteries are not efficient enough, and fuel cells are still quite problematic.

'Dream' can be defined many different ways .

Off the top of my head.....with dream including dream resources to take care of it ....Porsche 918 Spyder. Porsche announced a few weeks ago that the production run will soon end .

Opel Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

The Opel Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is the latest coup subsidiary of Volkswagen since 2012 and brings the most powerful roadster in the world on the road. Who sometimes just 1.74 million euros left, can make the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse as limited sports car in the garage and to sit among a chosen circle. In addition to the timeless elegance of the super sports car, the passengers lurking behind the engine is the highlight of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. Here, the W16 - cylinder is installed, the 8.0 liter engine developed from a whopping 1,200 hp. For the achieved torque of the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse of 1,500 Nm at 3,000 rpm you would have 10 engines a base VW Polo interconnect ! The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, so is anything but slow, should be mandatory : From the state of the super sports car accelerates blink of an eye (2.6 seconds) to 100 km If the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse somewhere can be extended reaches the floor a Vmax of as much as 410 km / h This compares to a durschnittlicher consumption of 23.1 liters per 100 kilometers - certainly not a problem for an owner of a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse.

For me its a Subaru 22b. Only 474 ever produced and possibly the best car to come out of Subaru. I own a 2012 sti but I would trade that and a testicle to own one of these.

I'd take any of the longer named STI's. 22B is king, but there were so many other special editions that rocked.

^ I believe there are many RHD ones you can import into Canada. These STI's are very popular over here and importing cost would be less than $10K for a mint mint RHD one.
