Find a space on that list for one of these:
The Renault Avantime
I remember when this car come out, and I instantly wanted one. It was the first attempt to make a coupe people carrier. Renault based it on the Espace, took some of the doors away, and the roof, and stuck a 250BHP V6 under the bonnet. Coupled with 4WD, huge 18" alloys and full leather interior, it was a worthy contender at any track day.
Renault priced each car up at £30,000. Public reaction was poor, and the car never sold as many as they needed, only managing to sell 217 of the planned 1100 in the UK. The car launched summer 2002, and was scrapped the following year.
It's a shame, because if your up close to one, it is truly amasing to see, especially when you see the roof mechanisium strut it's stuff. The interior was laden with gadgets and gizmos too, looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. The car also has no B pillars, and to get into the rear seats, passengers had to open the door on the correct side and watch as the seats in the way moved electronicly into position. Brilliant gagety car, too expensive for many, and it was badly promoted, as I bet no one else here even knew this car existed.

Where on the "Cool Wall" would you put it?
