If you'd be willing to suffer through an 80's Italian GTV6's are very reasonable right now.

There was a GTV6 for sale locally not too long ago and it definitely piqued my interest when I saw it parked on the street. I started researching the heck out of it but decided I don't know enough about Italian cars or what to look for when buying one so I held off. Your post has got me curious again though, I wonder if it's still for sale...
And to be somewhat relevant: I sold my BRZ a few months ago and have been feeling the regret creep up recently. I drove around a NA Miata for the past two weeks just to get some of that feeling back, but it never felt like it fit me. I'm probably a bit too tall for it, and looked into fitting seats, roll cage, etc into it but its just too much work to pass the broomstick test and still keep it a DD. I miss my BRZ...
