Stuff I'd love to see (and can see myself running to the store for).

Squier VM Bass V. The Jerman-signature was already pretty weird, let's take weird one step further
Squier VM Electric XII: the next installment in the VM-range. Candy Apple Red, White, Inca Silver & Ocean Turquoise Metallic. Bound neck, blocks or dots.
Squier VM Maverick: It fits the theme perfectly, and they have the tooling for the XII neck going anyway, so...
A re-issue of the Duo-Sonic they made a few years ago, with the desert-sand finish and gold pickguard. Also maybe a 2-tone redburst with rosewood fretboard and tortoise pickguard

Stuff we'll like get to see: boring revamps and rehashes.

I'd love love love this but the fender duo sonics are squier-cheap and selling lile hotcakes, no?

I'd Like to see a Squier XII. I think a true reissue or even Mexican line would be too expensive and would get discontinued quickly - a Squier version could have legs though and be a surprising success like the Bass VI has been.

I would also like to see a Starcaster - with correct bridge or JM style trem like the Bilt version.

Also a Marr Jag done in the same factory as the Mascis JM would be perfect.

I think the Squiers are a win win situation for players and the industry - players get to widen their palette of sounds on a budget and the modding market get a bite of the cherry with pickup upgrades and other parts.

Edit - forgot to mention someone phoned Fender support about XIIs and he said there is a folder on their shared drive named "Fender 2018 XII" so something is going on even if it's just research - screenshots of our petition perhaps!

Surely someone at Fender would be in a LOT of trouble

What if it's an acoustic though?

A Squier Swinger would be neat. I know it's very marmite, but I could see them being quite popular this time around.

Or a reissue stratocaster XII, like those early 90's MIJ ones.

What a waste of an opportunity that would be. Imagine reading the headline "INTRODUCING THE FENDER REISSUE 12-STRING......STRATOCASTER" :'(

Necks would be more readily available? Upside?
