Got me thinking back to the time I had a 3.0L MKZ for a weekend a year or so ago and how much I loved that car. Started looking online, found a CPO one with the RS torque vectoring option, massage seats, the Harman Revel audio system option, less than 5,000 miles and a better warranty than new for about $17k off MSRP. Not going to lie, I'm pretty tempted. Chuckling to myself imagining showing up to a local SCCA autocross with duct taped numbers on the doors of a entry level luxury sedan that is typically associated with old people driving slow barges.

Toyota 86 - drove one, liked it a lot, but the interior is rather poor and it's just a bit too stiff and loud. Would honestly be quite happy with one.
Chevrolet Camaro/Ford Mustang/Dodge Challenger - not my style. Fine cars I'm sure, just don't see myself with one
Mazda MX-5 RF - Love the size, love the handling, love the transmission, comfortable and quiet enough for daily use but of course lack of seats/storage is off-putting. Super bonus points for retractable hard top.
Nissan 370z - Next on the list to drive
Keep the RX-8 - love it, but if I drive the same car for too long I get restless, and it's getting to the age where it is going to start needing expensive repairs.
Suggestions???
I'm not tied down to Mazda but I sure do seem to click with them....
