next car .... ??? kinda looking like a CVT WRX, as boring as that sounds. a BRZ w/AWD and more power would be an awesome DD for me, but Subaru is dumb.
wife is also going to need a car this year - debating on Forester vs Forester XT - worth the extra money for the power (that she never uses vs. gas mileage). then, keep her 2005 XT as a winter beater and get a sports car for me? too many variables to deal with .....

Gotcha - if changing cars in another 1-2 years I also wouldn't dump more money than required into a daily driver.

I must say a CVT WRX doesn't light my boat. I do like the 2015 STI but I'd like to see Subaru put the direct injection 2.0L engine in that car and ditch the 2.5L.

If I had a winter beater at my disposal, a 2-seat Porsche Boxster/Cayman or used 996 911 GT3 would be at the top of my wish list!
