Just FYI as a baseline, and it's funny because I was looking at new cars. Right now the only 2008-20009 model year vehicles I would realistically buy would be a Viper ACR, Corvette ZR1, Porsche GT2, Aston DBS, Ferrari 430, Jaguar XKR (for nostalgic reasons when my uncle used to drive me around in his jag when I was a child), MB S65 (to spite my aunt).

Several years ago I would have ranked the 430 higher than the DBS but times change and so has my taste.

I have definitely outgrown small displacement high strung Japanese cars.

The only way I would buy a new 240 would be:

a) they gave the car some real balls with a supercharged V8 or something to that effect, or

b) they revived the 180SX fastback body a la kouki 180SX style. I would definitely buy one and swap in a V8.
