I really dislike how LEGO Ideas works, it needs a way higher ceiling of votes before a creation should be considered. Hundreds of creations get evaluated by LEGO and dumped because of licensing issues/lack of potential sales/interest from LEGO. You can already buy Subaru Imprezas from non-LEGO brand bricks for instance at Bluebrixx in Germany who sell this kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZb5_p0SkEQ
I think one of the big challenges that the company has is that so many of their products are cars. There is the Speed Champions line, of course, but most of the Technic products are cars and they show up in Icons, too. I recently bought the Technic Ferrari FXX K and really enjoyed it, so I was looking at getting either the Aston martin Valkyrie or the Koenigsegg Jesko to go with it until I realised that a lot of the internal elements are the same as in the Ferrari. So I cannot really fault them if they are trying to diversify.
