The SW20 came awfully close, however, to looking like a small Ferrari replica. But in its day it was -praised- for that by the automotive community; you could get almost super car looks for a mid-range price.

And, of course, there's the second gen RX-7.
And see I wouldn't have bought that either. I don't want super car looks for a mid range price. I want nice looks in a mid priced range where the car is not pretending to be a supercar. It isn't a supercar and making it look like one just does not appeal to me. Other opinions will vary.
