That's a great question and I think it's kind of an open field right now. I went to Porsche, but even those are now trending squishy and I'm not sure I'd buy another one. I think there's an opportunity for outsiders. The new little Alfa is pretty cool, but it has some issues that need addressing. The Toyobaru twins could really be something if they'd beef them up and put on real tires. Then there's the BMW Toyota Bimpra collaboration - it'll be interesting to see how that unfolds. I also think there will be an onset of a performance electric car niche. How it all shakes out will be fun to see for the gear heads. For everyone else, they just want to know what's next at $399 a month!
