Hmm. If we’re talking price when new, I’ve already hit it the $100k mark (or very close to it) with my current garage: high-spec CX5 and M240 convertible.

That doesn’t mean I don’t think about what a different mix would be ALL THE TIME.

If it’s a higher priced, higher-rigor sports car, I’d need to go down to a single car. I’m with JV that the Cayman 6-cylinder would be the best single car to get, but not practical with my current life.

I could get away with an M3 Sedan. But it would be less useful that my current fleet and potentially less fun.

And like Josh, I think in my heart of hearts, the M240 is a better fit for me and easier to live with than any Boxster/Cayman would be. I just wish it were a little more taut, a bit better steering feel, a slightly stiffer suspension.

So, I wish for the car that does not exist: The M2 convertible. And it might be close to $100k, if it did exist?
