I'd like to see GM make a modern 2-door Tahoe.
I miss the small British sports car market. Miata's fit the bill pretty well, but I wish there were more options.

I second the Bronco.
Diesel, manual transmission Suburban.
Hudson Hornet.

I agree about there not being enough modern choices in the small sports car market. I'd like to see a modern version of the Austin Healey Sprite. The first generation, including an engine of less than 1L and weight well under 2K. Minimize the design as much as the market would allow. If the price were right I'd buy a stripped version of such a car. No A/C, manual windows, radio delete, etc.
mid-engine sports cars.. X 1/9, MR2, fiero.. the world needs another reasonably priced mid-engine sports car
Any cheap base model 2 dr hatch with a 5 spd.
On that Sprite idea... The Factory 5 Cobra is a tube/fiberglass car that uses one Mustang as donor.
I wish the was a similar concept Bugeye Sprite using one Miata.
Understated, reliable, simple RWD coupes and sedans. 510s, 2002s, Mantas, Corinas, etc.
Honda Prelude ... With RWD 
Audi 100LS
Subaru Baja? Am I crazy?
Ditto on the Bronco here too.
The Element with a painted body and rubber mats inside. It's like Honda did a brilliant interior and that funky exterior, and then the tried to street it up and paint everying on the outside and load it up with carpet on the inside, all with the 6 speed mod from the factory.
I guess that is more of a wish they would have made instead of bring back.

yes.. you want a WRX/STi based brat instead
Basic sub $20k full size pickup truck...modern reliability, classic functionality.
2wd, Regular cab, 8' bed, rubber floors, vinyl bench seat, and manual trans. I can accept power windows and mirrors, it's a long reach to get to the passenger side.
No need for carpet, infotainment, or 20k pound tow rating.
Small Hondas with double-wishbones.

Or a real compact pickup, the size of a 70's Toyota or Datsun, or even an early S10. With a modern drive train, 40 MPG would be possible.

I second that! But with a better designed interior for us long legged folk. The old trucks are really cramped!
STI forester like they get overseas
The S2000 in any incarnation.
Something like a Shelby Cobra.
The NSX in non hybrid configuration.
Kei cars with actual saftey features that are fast enough for the US.
The Bronco
Seriously a Subaru pickup truck.
A small frugal pickup truck like the ranger.
Corvair of course.
But large sedans with V8s and Manual transmissions would be awesome.
Chevelle-esqe car.
A pony car that isn't a pony car. Or tied down to exactly one body configuration. Much like the CTS but a lower price point and brand.
SAAB c900 turbo, or better yet, 99 turbo. Similarly shaped body to the original versions. Longitudinal slant 4 and double wish bone front suspension. Completely new gearbox design with the capability to have an AWD version.
A guy can dream right?

Ford could bring back the courier?
Jeep XJ Cherokee
A car that doesn't have 34 modules that communicate with each other making diagnostics without HAL9000 impossible.
Small pickups from more then just Toyota, Nissan, and GM.
Light, small, 2 door, RWD or MR, 190-240hp vehicle from anyone as long as it's well executed for under 22k.
A Mazda halo car (3 rotor please!)
