Fiat 500 Abarth
I am strangely aroused by this car.
It is coming in 2011 which is when I plan to get a new DD.
So it's either this little monster or the CR-Z (which has fail potential).
Schumi owns one and it won car of the year in Europe when it came out.
Even Top Gear was impressed.
Abarth:
1.4 Turbo, 33mpg, 135hp/152tq, 2000lbs, ~$20k
CR-Z:
1.3 gas + hybrid, 66mpg, 118hp/268tq, ?lbs, ?$

Looking at that car on a screen is much different than in person. Say you think it's cool after you get to touch, see, and feel it with your own eyes and hands. You just may change your mind.

Just checked the Top Gear vid and the SS version ran a faster track time (1:35.5) at the top gear test track than the S2000 (1:37.4), though the later on wet conditions. Still, the Abarth seems to have a ton of room to gain like from new suspension.
