The twins are indeed in a class of their own. I've been looking for a 4-door equivalent to them but so far nothing gets close.
Coming back to that question, I'm leaning towards a supercharged Jag' XE.

As much as I like sporty wagons (and owned a 2.0 EcoBoost Ford Mondeo Estate many moons ago) I'm not looking for one.
As an aside, I think about a BRZ replacement on-and-off all the time. The conclusion is a 2nd gen Twin, but even that is only if/when the current BRZ suffers a major problem, or if it becomes impossible to take the kids in it (as they grow).
It's a bit of an oddball, but how about a 996 / 997 convertible?
Great steering, can still be had for low $$$. Maintenance ain't exactly cheap though...

If you can afford it, a 997.2 would be the cat's pajamas.
