I want the Mark Cross Edition LeBaron Wagon with turbo motor. Leather, space, 35mpg with some tweaks, and scoots damn good when you want it to.
Orrr the H-body derivative Lancer/LeBaron GTS...
Marvin is only close to the perfection that was the K-car, but such compromises give me seating for 7, near a ton of payload, 3500lb tow rating, or I whip the seats out and have the space in the back of a midsize, or short bed fullsize truck. (About 7 feet long at the floor, 4ft between the wheelarches) Bear in mind that the front suspension and steering etc is identical to K-cars, and you'll realise how durable they are if looked after.
Snow? If you have trouble in snow in a K based vehicle, your driving style or the weather severity was going to put you off the road or get you stuck in an AWD or 4x4 anyway.

I remember The RoadWarrior..To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time..the world was powered by the black fuel & the desert sprouted great cities..Gone now, swept away..two mighty warrior tribes went to war & touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
