More options of sports/sporty cars are always better options

Cheaper sports cars seem to be making somewhat of a comeback after the last few years being pretty dead.
Some of the incoming, and potentially incoming cars to us
BMW M2 (cheap relative to M4)
RX-Vision
Civic Type R to America for the first time
Focus RS to America for the first time
Nissan's 370Z successor
Genesis Coupe (someone mentioned they're doing something with it right now?)
S2000 possibly
Makes a bit hesitant to buy an 86 next year when I actually need a car, but I'm sure it's just a case of the grass being greener on the other side.
With that being said, my future potential choices are the RX-Vision, Genesis, and the Z. Type R and S2000 are both off because fwd 4-door and convertible. Even if I wait though, I'm still not exactly comfortable with owning an unproven Rotary, and Genesis seems to be moving in the direction of bigger, heavier, sports-luxury which is not what I want. The Z is the only real contender but it's not even a prototype and it's only an idea at this point.
Personally I don't like the markup of European vehicles in America and maintenance costs so I'll never own one, and I just don't like American cars in general. By default I'm left with Japanese brands.
My only dissatisfaction with the twins is that the torque is a teeny bit too low for my liking. It's not enough to steer me away from the car but it's small enough to make me sad that they couldn't just improve it that slightly to make it perfect and make me dilly-dally around for a few months. It's still my favourite reasonable car on the market today though so I don't think I'll have any ragrets if I buy one. If the Dorito engine or the Z proves to be amazing in the.... 4-5 years
if we get to see them, I can always just trade the 86 in.
