That's my take on the Porsche douchyness/midlife factor. I think the base model screams douchebag the most. Or people who buy base model 996's, etc. The owner of 3 Tim Horton's in the area just bought himself a brand new base model 911. Although now they're better looking and more powerful, hes one of the biggest assholes known around here and he hits on the young girls that work for him.

The F-type is sexy, but the rear end has already been done with the bmw z8. The Toyota Lotus seems like economical choice with the Camry engine. At least hold out for the Evora S to minimize the jokes 
Regardless, you have Aston Martin on the list, why consider anything else? That thing is an instant panty dropper. Step out of it in a tux and you're James Bond.

No 911?
I considered and drove the Evora and an '06 Vantage before driving a 997S and forgetting about the others. 911s might be "too obvious", but it's for a reason.
The Vantage looks amazing, but the interior is pretty dated at this point, and it basically offers M3 performance.

Your right about the Vantage though. I am happy as long as I have NAV, Sat radio, and Bluetooth. Who needs power seats? Heated wheel and seats would be a big loss if I couldn't get them, but not a deal breaker necessarily. One of the reasons I pretty much crossed any front engine Ferrari I could afford of the list.
Vantage drove like a GT. Looked and sounded amazing though...i'd just stare at it sometimes in the garage. S2K gearbox is 10x better

I won't buy a car if the wheel design is going to take too much time to wash. The XK saves me twenty minutes a wash over my VDP; over a year (guessing 40 washes)that's 13+ hours of my life I get back each year!

Friend has one and is a well known GTR tuner. Looks do not do much for me, and am just not too into it. Love the telemetry display inside and the performance is without question.

Were you looking at the 4.3 or 4.7 L Vantage? The 4.7 (MY 08+) has significant power and torque increases.
Either way it will put a big smile on your face every time you drive it, and prepare for everyone to stare at it constantly.
Performance isn't his #1 priority. He wants a good looking car.

If fit and finish, looks and sound are your priorities the Aston is the choice.

The Lotus doesn't really seem to fit in for what you're looking for.
