- Ferrari 612 is an interesting option. Not the prettiest of all Prancing Horses, but a compelling compromise...
- I don't like the look and proportions of the Panamera, no matter how good/fast it is.
- Jag XKR is fast and light - weights the same about an M3 and has 80 more HP. But something is just strange with its looks. The Aston Martins are more elegant but probably not better.
Finally, I don't think it's the number of seats or the body style that makes a car a true sports car. I think it's more about the driving dynamics and how confident and agile it feels on the track when pushed hard.
Thanks everyone for all input!

Good analysis!
I was talking about the VANQUISH S though, as opposed to the vantage (also one of my favorites.) One of my friends just bought a Vanquish and it is beautiful.
(His is spec'ed without 2+2 though). Don't get something you find is 'not bad' though; get what you can't live without! For me that was the e92 M3, GT3, & AMV8 Vantage. Keep us updated!
Best of luck.
