Consider the Mercedes CLK500 or BMW M3.

Wait for the new 330ci with 258hp, get it if its not bangled.
Otherwise 2005 G35 coupe sounds nice.

I dig my rx-8, although I haven't driven the poor thing in a week, since I'm trying to get the break in miles on the s2000. it's comfy, has plenty of room for 4 people, has a decent sized (but small opening) trunk, and does handle nicely.
Yes, it gets terrible gas mileage around town but it's not that bad on long trips... 16/22 is what I've been seeing. I find it more pleasant to squirt around in, under 6000 rpm, but any higher than that, and you miss VTEC.
I bought it because it was super cheap. low $20s for a 6 speed with the sport package.

I suppose I should also explain that my daily driver spends lots of time in public parking lots like the train station and the airport. It will sometimes go for days in a public lot. So far, the Jag has been ok and hasn't been molested. Still, this is a prime reason for shopping for a less expensive replacement. I'm wondering if any of the cars on my list would be a higher theft/vandalism target?
