Since we have (and have had for quite a while) the American/British M8 Greyhound armored car, are we ever going to get any German Reconnaissance vehicles to go with it? There's certainly enough to chose from, and with a little imagination many could even match up as decent opponents to an Allied vehicle already in the game.
SdKfz 222 Leichter Panzerspähwagen (comparable to a Jeep, though with much better armament)-

Also has the ability to function as a light and fast AAA vehicle with its ability to elevate the guns vertically
SdKfz 231 8-rad series Schwerer Panzerspähwagen (comparable to the M8, though with historically better offroad performance and weaker armament) Essentially the same armament as the 222, though in a larger and more robust vehicle-

There is also the 233 variant, equipped with the same 75mm 'stumme' howitzer as the early model PzKpfw IV, which might be an interesting quick-raid vehicle in scenarios
SdKfz 234 series of Schwerer Panzerspähwagen (comperable to the Allied halftracks and fast TDs in a late-war ETO setup)-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SdKfz_234The 234/1 was equipped with the same 20mm gun and 7.9mm MG combo as its predecessors, with the same ability to elevate the gun for AAA use.
The 234/2 Puma, the most famous variant, is equipped with the same 50mm KwK39 L/60 as the later models of the PzKpfw III, in a fully enclosed armored turret,giving it impressive firepower for an Armored Car.
The 234/3 was equipped with the same 75mm Howitzer as the SdKfz 233.
Lastly, the SdKfz 234/4, while weighed down and losing its mobility somewhat, was armed with the same 75mm PaK40 L/46 as the late model PzKpfw IV, making it a potential German counterpart to the M18 GMC in a 19-44-45 ETO setup.
Unlike many German vehicles that could be requested, all of the above were actual mass-produced (though some in limited numbers) combat deployed vehicles, not 'paper panzers'.
