It'd be nice to see Dassault try to bring back the Mercure. It was a pretty solid plane designed to compete with the 737 but it just never managed to break out of France due to the economy in the 80s and Boeing & Airbus' comparative success. Dassault is still a major producer of business jets and military fighter jets so it's certainly not like they don't have the skills or capability.
