Another car to consider that would just be in this range is a 1997 NSX for that $$. That's the first year the HP bumped up to 290. Fit and finish would be more in the Lexus league as well.

I originally intended to buy a G35 coupe, but they're a little in expensive for my taste. I was looking for something a step above the RX.
It's funny how most coupes are priced at either 35K and under or 65K and above. That's a huge gap!

It's a great car for the money & they upgraded the interior for 05 too . . .

older ferrari with low miles would give you trouble. You want one that been driven, notorious for messing up by just sitting
Picking up a nice low mile sc430 would be smart, won't lose alot of money with it, and it will last. I can find them all day for cheap. 2002-2003 20k miles or so...34k lemme know
2002 maserati vert I can locate, very cheap,
Its four doors but i love the cts-v, interior isn't the best
45 k in cash can really talk the talk imho.

Sporty doesn't neccessarily mean two door, right? If sports sedan, I could recommend several in that price range. 06 BMW 330i, 06 Lexus GS300, or wait a few months for the Lexus IS350. But if you have to have a two door, how about BMW M3? CLK looks good, but it kinds of lack a clear characteristic.
