I've looked at the Honda and Miata before, and decided that 2 seaters are out. I need a back seat - not necessarily for people, but for "stuff". Various stuff and sometimes lots of stuff.
In the meantime, my Infinity, which was on it's last breath this summer, has somehow revived on it's own.

Replacement is not as urgent as before, but still needs to be done as soon as I have time to shop and test drive some. I won't have that kind of time until after January.
