Having just bought an '06 IS250 (after trying to get a '350 from Carmax, but walking when they wouldn't let me take it to the dealer for inspection without buying it), my initial choice was a new Mazda RX-8. 4 door, easy (time intensive) mods, good performance, cheap. A G37 was veto'd by wife (the IS is her car) because I'm insane about my FX and "taking it to the dealer" (getting more mods) got a little out of hand...

2010+ Manual 4 door GTI. For the practicality of a hatchback!

For me, it'd probably be an Elise or an slk55 amg. One second, let me wipe that drool off my face
