The Green Monkey
Brap-brap
I don't know if it's out of your price range or if it's too flashy, but I got to put the 09 Audi A4 through it's paces yesterday afternoon at the Audi Driving Experience event down in Homestead on both an autocross course and on the road course, and it's an absolutely stunning little car. The variable steering response takes a little bit of getting used to, but I imagine that once you know what to expect out of it, you'd never want to revert back to a traditional steering mechanism.
