My dream car is 100% rustproof, is the size of a full-size van, and runs on nothing but tapwater, getting 100mpg.
If I had the money, yes, I'd buy a new car, probably a full-size van, because I've got a family of 6.

It is the ultimate steampunk car.

Not the car for someone with a large family, though. Well, possibly as a second car.

Looks like a boring Volvo estate but does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds; it's the pursuit car of choice for British traffic police on account of being able to run down your average Porsche while carrying four cops and a boot full of equipment.
