You're not going to get a very realistic sample of the reliability of these cars since most of us haven't owned them so it's just going to be second hand feedback.

And yes, it depends on what you are looking for. My take:
Outright performance -> GT3 variants
Genuine, extroverted, brash exoticness -> Ferrari, Lamborghini
Exotics that are a half step below on the look-at-me scale -> R8, McLaren
Semi-exotics that more understated but definitely still turn heads -> Aston Martin, Maserati, Lotus

I have had a bunch of Porsches and currently have two. When I wanted to get something a bit different, I went with the Aston Vantage and I love that car. Very different and not an outright beast in the performance department but certainly holds its own and feels much more special than any Porsche I have had. Also, for whatever reason, it's a car that no one seems to hate (unlike Porsches, Ferraris, BMWs, etc,...)
