Now that is a difficult question as I don't think of competing cars, but which ones take my fancy.
In my case I just see cars getting fatter & heavier with loads of gizmos I don't want. For this reason I have stopped looking for many years. When we bought a car for the Mrs a few years back it was greeted with "where is the sat nav, reversing sensors, etc. I didn't know you could buy a cheap down graded Mini".
We both laughed to ourselves as it is a GP2. Yes, they were serious & I think this is another reason some of us on here are not interested in the M4, etc. Long term csl owners are not your average car buyer
I bought a csl at the time over a gt3 because of it being more practical for touring with the Mrs.
Porsche have kept the gt models coming whereas BMW are making over weight living rooms on wheels & living off the M brand. This can be seen with the M badges on nearly every car BMW makes. Not a problem with that, just make a proper M car to go with them.
Cars that I would consider if I was ever to sell cesil are as follows. Even then no doubt I would rule a few out as being too fat for the road.
Schnitzer AC2??? What fun it would be to go through the option list & pick it up in Germany.
Exige 350/380
Evora 410/430
GT4 without sat nav. Had a S version for 3 weekends & approx 700 miles. Nice, but preferred the GP2.
Alpine A110
