Ditto on the Bianchi brand. But I do have a bike that I'd really like that meets all the criteria - can't afford it, totally useless, don't know if I'd ever ride it even if I had it, but it's beautiful - the Pashley Guv'nor:

I like the Guvnor, but I would want it as a fixed.
 
The one bike that I want above all others is a Penny Farthing; I'm not talking the modern day reproduction with stupidly small wheels, I'm talking about a proper original Victorian Penny Farthing with proper sized wheels. The price tags are significantly way above my current budget and I seriously doubt a Penny Farthing would be suitable for the hills where I live but even so I desperately want one. Even if it sat in my garage and never got used I would buy one if I ever had the disposable income to spend on one.

'd get a seriously sweaty back riding that! Doesn't anybody make a recumbent with a well-ventilated mesh seat?
Funny you should mention a mesh seat, after a bit of research today I find out a mesh seat may suit me better, plus a Catrike is just as fast as the Vector and a bunch cheaper.
My lust if so fickle.

I tried the Catrike range, as Arch has one, but couldn't find one that fitted me comfortably on their trade stand.

I've not actually tried the ICE models though but I prefer the push/pull steering on the ICE to the side to side steering of the Catrike.

At the moment I am really seduced by this, which is actually quite affordable, or would be if I hadn't recently got a bike through cyclescheme... http://www.evanscycles.com/products/cannondale/synapse-6-tiagra-compact-2012-road-bike-ec031478

Looks soooo curvexy imho, and even better in the flesh.

I have told myself that if I ever win £2000 to spend on a bike, it will be the one linked below one, although tbh the Giant road bikes are giving me the horn at the moment too...
