Personally out of all the Ferraris made in the 90's/00's, I'd chose the 360 Modena. Such a lovely shape IMO.

she's a girl, she'll probably get mercedes SL550... she doesn't want to show off too much with Ferrari or Aston Martin, nor a Porsche, because I rarely see women in Porsche. GranTurismo Convertible would be nice also..

Going with the thought that when given a range, most go towards the lower end than higher, I would say a Porsche 911 4S

The most exciting driving I've witnessed a Porsche owner do on regular roads was a smoking hot brunette in a 911 4S..

But I am pretty partial to an Aston.

So many great choices, could go with a V8 Vantage, used Gallardo or R8.., but if I had to pick one it would be a 997 Porsche 911 Turbo S !

Lots of good car choices mentioned, but does she want a sports car or just a nice high end luxury GT car?

As I would really like to recommend a used exotic, just consider the cost of maintenance in the short/long term of owning it. I remember reading some threads that maintenance would be really expensive for Ferraris, Lambos, etc. I would second the Porsche and Aston Martin since it'll be new and the maintenance wouldn't be as much as that of a used exotic?

I get to play with the Audis every day here and about once a week I get to play with the lambos Aston's, and Maserati's. So, with that said, I would say my dream sports car is the LFA, but since we are talking budget house priced car and not mid sized house priced car, it would be the GTR hands down.
