Renault Alpine A110
This car should appeal to the Morganeer.
I am typically not super enthusiastic about french cars, but this Alpine is intersting.

I agree with the new A110. I also have to say that the MX5 ND is wow for what it is, all inexpensive and a very well thought out car with weight reduction and agility. Especially with the new now replaced 2 litre engine. Although not comprehensible for everyone. But perhaps one will recognize this better in the future.

I can agree with the Elise and A110.
But yes the Evoque drew gasps at the time, but has not aged well. They look very old fashioned now, in fact the Freelander went the same way...………..
I think the original Range Rover did create a wow, and they still look good today, but once the luxuries piled on, LR lost the plot.

Oh yes, but that leads to where we are now with nothing standing out from the crowd.
