I'm not sure what you would consider acceptable, but I think you would find
a number of interesting cars available. For example, the soon to be released
RX8 has appeal -- a true sports car with a small backseat. The Corvette is
a true sports car, although not cheap. Perhaps a Miata, a Honda S2000 or
even a BMW M3. All fine cars -- all finally brought to the US equal to
their European counterpart.
Fun cars here.
