Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring with the suspension package.

A friend has a new one and it is fun to drive.

Reasonably priced ...

if you dont mind the extra 2 seats, the E46 m3's will be dipping in prices as soon the 335's hit the showrooms in full force.

All new BMWs are ugly. You know it, I know it, and everyone here knows it.

You can pick up a clean, low mile 2002 Z06 for 30K or under. I know of someone selling a '04 Z06 with 27K miles for 31K. Why even bother with the other wannabe sport cars?

I have 30K budget on a car and I want to lease it so it has to be new.

With a lease, you wil need to consider the insurance cost. Sports cars are at the upper end of the cost scale.
