My next car after my 986 3.6 will be a Ferrari 456 M GTA. Going to go for the Grand Tourismo V12, I think it is the last of the Classic Italian cars before they all became jet fighters.

As for a substitute for the boxster, there is little that is as balanced and pure but I have driven a few BMWs and Mercedes that were darned good. I don't think the Z3/Z4 is comparable at all with that huge mass swinging around in front. Lotus Exige would be closest to a boxster in my book.
