It's funny, the "CoCo" fans dream of what it would have been like if they released the Colour Computer 4 - similar to the AAA dreams of Amiga fans.
Hehe! And the Speccy fans dream of what it'd have been like if the ZX Spectrum Loki had been released in a similar way! This was supposed to have had Amiga-style graphics and sound (blitter plus custom chipset) and a 48K Spectrum compatible mode, all controlled via a 6MHz Z80, for under £200 in around 1986.
History note: A couple of the engineers working on the Loki project left Sinclair Research, set up a company to market a new machine and this eventually appeared as the Atari Jaguar.

And again with the C64/128 fans' dreams of the C65, though that at least was pretty much finished when it was canned by Gould. It's a shame really, the C65 looks like a very nice piece of hardware for an 8bit swansong...
