Oh trust me, you going to love your boring automatic box on wheels, the more boxy and the less involved it is, with all attention towards the kid you really start loving the appliance factor. Different tools for different jobs. Thats why I mentioned at Timmys meet we were a while ago how I loved CR-V as my wife's car and baby hauler, thats what we are likely getting.
We have Mazda 3 sedan now, while it "works" its such a pain. The car seat getting in and out is hard, the more weight he puts in, you need to bend downwards a bit. I understand why people love SUVs, the higher position works so well when dealing with kid car seats. The trunk is a bitch to load in the stroller etc.
I guess the ultimate car guy's thing would be some mega hatch, but I haven't given them a look yet to see how good they would be for baby duty. I still think low seating position is a disadvantage for some uses.

Good luck with selling the FR-S, love the color too, last time we went to Futureshop parking lot meet with my wife, she saw one in that color and said how nice it looks (she used to have majestic blue maxima before).
