2007 Toyota 4runner
It's a fine compromise vehicle for me.
If I'm being practical, ideally I'd like to have 2 vehicles
First would some little electric thing, it only needs room to carry me, the wife and the dog or some groceries. It only needs to max out at about 50mph and have maybe 100 miles of range, heat, ac, and a Bluetooth connection to stream music and gps directions from my phone. I do not need any other bells or whistles, and that will pretty much cover all of my chores, commuting, etc. for a week on one charge.
And small 4wd pickup truck, with long bed, single or extended cab (don't need a full crew cab) something like the old rangers/Tacoma/etc (the current Gen is too big) for camping, picking up lumber, commuting in the snow (with some weight in the bed) etc. preferably as some sort of plug-in hybrid. Can't imagine ever needing or wanting a towing capacity over 5000lbs.
Ignoring practicality, I'd really like to have a big ol' Cadillac. Not too picky on the specifics, but it should be a full-sized sedan, or maybe a convertible, from no later than the early 90s, it should be black or maybe red, and I want whitewall tires.
I also have a special soft spot for Land Rover defenders, and old broncos (or k5 blazers, international scouts, etc.)
I also think the Subaru Brat was really damn cool
Would love to have a VW microbus (I think the new EV thing is also really cool)
Getting more into the realm of the ridiculous, '64 Aston Martin DB5, a DeLorean, any batmobile, the ecto-1, a Jurassic Park jeep, the bluesmobile, or Mad Max's pursuit special
