Fiesta ST. I like them better then the Focus myself and there are lot of dealers selling them brand new for right at 19,000 with a few rebates. It's probably one of the best buys on the market right now. They are also every bit as fun to Autocross in stock form as my BRZ.

Assuming the frs never existed. I'd still be driving my mk3 supra.

I would say I'd go for the 15 WRX however if it wasn't for the BRZ I don't think they would've changed it like they did.

Another 3rd Gen RX-7 or a '13 Boss 302. If I could swing it, possible a Lotus Elise/Exige.

I was watching used S2000 prices slowly creep up in the last three years before I gave up and bought the BRZ.

2014 Focus ST most likely. Even when I went to test drive and buy this car I wasn't sure it was the one for me. As soon as I got in it I knew that It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.
