Thanks,

Nick
Sports Sedan all the way....I have an 02 M5-the best all around sport sedan.
There are the other obvious Euro car choices previouskly mentioned.

BUT, if you want reliability with performance, low maintenance.......Id go with the Lexus IS F , or the new GS 350/430

I would buy nothing and keep the money in the bank. The present economic climate does not allow me to consider replacing anything I have... repairing Yes, replacing, No.

09 Subaru STI, Pros: Extremely fast with $1500 in mods, very versitile. Cons: Love it or hate it looks, interior not up to European standards. Don't believe what they say about the understeer, they come with 0 camber from the factory. 5 minutes on an alignment rack makes the car pretty neutral.

Garage
Since the birth of my son our Boxster has become our date night car. For comfortable transportation for the three of us we have a Lexus ES 300 and a Toyota Sequoia. His baby seat, when set backwards, "just" fit in the back seat and now that he’s two and facing forward he rests his feet on the back of my wife’s seat! If you’re going to replace your Boxster with another sports car, it better have a big back seat.

Like Vath2001 said, your best bet is to take the money and bank it. Buy a CD and sit on it. It might not have the same joy as having a Porsche in the garage but in time you’ll be thanking your lucky stars.
