Well, I just saw a new MB SLK and it is pretty darn small.

And then the Porsche Boxster. It looks great in profile but is pretty darn rounded otherwise.

This 2016 MX5 looks like a glob-of-round that someone chiseled some detail into.

I think I'm looking for the Lotus Esprit of a few years back. Or the Ferrari 360. Something not too rounded and trim.

For something bigger there is the Audi R8 but that's $120,000 if one can be found without options.

Basically, if the MX5 is too small then there is the Nissan Z-car, the Porsche Boxster, and the new Lotus Evora. And the BWM Z4. Also, the MB SLK. Well, the Corvette fits in this price range also. Oh, the new Jaguar F-Type. But the only car here that stays within 50% of the price of the MX5 is the Nissan Z-car
