4-doors? You can start with the new Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum or Charger R/T or SRT-8 Hemis.
If you can spend a little more there is the Cadillac CTS-V.
These cars, however, may not have particularly good build quality.

If you can wait even longer, there's a likelihood the IS350 hardtop convertible maybe coming out late next year.

Thanks for all the great feedback from everyone. This is why I stop by and look at the forums since about a year ago when I bought my RX 330.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I’m really not the type of guy that modifies a vehicle. I do, however, enjoy looking at the work people place into their vehicles.
I’m not looking for a car that has blazing performance. I just wanted something nice. It looks like I have found a car that has finally caught my eye. There’s a silver/gray 2002 BMW 330 convertible with about 35K miles selling for 35k. Any ideas whether this model is pretty reliable? I don’t know much about BMW’s. I have heard that they have electrical problems, but I don’t know if it’s true on the 3 series.
It really is between that and the SC430, but I’m leaning towards the 330.
With the money I’ll be saving, I’m thinking about going ahead and trading up my RX for a GX. Now, THAT’S a man’s car.

The 330 convert is a nice ride.
