Best Dull-Looking Driver's Car?
What's the best driver's car that's reliable and completely staid and unremarkable looking? I need a car that's as reliable and fun to drive as an S2000 or an NSX but isn't flashy or remarkable in any way because I can't risk offending customers. So it can't have spoilers or air scoops or a snooty reputation. It has to have a great manual transmission and at least four seats.

Not many dull cars that have great manual trannies, but here goes: TSX, WRX, BMW 3/5 series, VW Passat, Mazda6, Civic Si and the most boring/unremarkable of them all, RSX.

Audi S4? Not to say that the S4 is dull-looking, but I think it's much more subtle than a sports car. Most people would think it's just another Audi A4. I don't know if it's fun to drive, but considering it has a manual transmission, a good amount of power, and an engine with plenty of potential for modifying, I wouldn't mind driving one.
BTW, I'm talking about the previous generation S4, not the new V8 model.

Now that you got me thinking about this, I should also mention the Mazdaspeed Protege. It's relatively cheap, limited in production, and seems like a fun car to drive. Although it's front-wheel drive, several reviewers praise it's handling, even more than the Integra Type-R. Of course, you'll have a factory-turbo car, meaning better mod-potential. Just another car to consider.
