After placing my pre-order I went out and drove a Nissan 370Z, Infiniti G37S, Mini Cooper S, Lotus Elise, BMW 335i, Porsche Cayman and Boxster, Subaru WRX and Audi RS 6. I still have to drive a Honda S2000 AP2, but nothing has excited me enough to want to pull my order yet. If I had $30k cash and could buy some older cars, I'd be considering an air-cooled 911, Mazda RX-7 FD3S, or possibly a Lotus Esprit.
The only thing nagging at me is that I can lease another S4 for 6 months through my company for the same monthly payment as the BRZ - and DAMN is the S4 a brilliant car! I can keep leasing them in 6mo. intervals, taking the major pain out of German car ownership - maintenance. It weighs over 1,000lbs more than the BRZ, but it carries the weight well and really eats up the highway, which is where I spend most of my time. I also thought about dumping the same $30k I'd spend on a BRZ into my current project cars over the next few years, but that means a few years before I can actually drive them, and I'll be pushing 30. I want something fun I can drive NOW.

This is a big reason why I haven't given up yet. Been wanting one for years now!
