And as I stated Paul please remember we are across the pond and as far as I know the S660 won't be available in the U.S.

Gas mileage? Number of passengers? Size, luggage capacity? AWD or off road? Speed, comfort?

ah sorry, no requirements other than the $20,000. oh yeah, it's got to be a car, not a bike please.

OK, the S2k does not qualify with no incremental cost, but everything else does. What are you trying to accomplish?

i'm trying to think of a car that can be bought (by the bank for a lease) below 20K and fun to drive. no mods, it'll be a lease so i don't intend on spending $$$ on stuff i'll end up selling or getting rid of. if i can get another s2k for less than 20k, heck yeah, i'd get it in a heartbeat.

oh, if only we can get the silvia...
