Yep - I will enjoy my 981 GTS for a few years, and look to upgrade to the 718 GTS 4.0 in the future.

That bad boy is going to be a classic.

I don't think they will. I belenes its confirmed the Spyder/GT4 won't receive them in NA, so I would assume the GTS 4.0 also doesn't receive it.

1) Boxster GTS 4.0 - I got the tail end of my father-in-law's 718 S lease and fell in love with the car in how it drove, but didn't care for the engine, thus M2 came in. I would love a convertible again, but pricing is likely to be high, as well as general maintenance, but still a high possibility for the next car.

2) Mustang GT350 - I recently just drove my friend's GT350 and it is amazing. I normally don't care for Mustangs but the car is impressive in almost every area, really only lacking in the interior since its not a luxury or German vehicle, and reliability seems to be a bit of an issue, but I really did love the car.

3) ND Miata - This one is a stretch, but the reasoning behind it is actually smart. The idea would be, get a Miata (new or used) and then spend the remaining money on another vehicle. See, between the wife and I we have the M2 and the CLS, and we switch between the two as our daily vehicles, and our son's X3 (which we use more than he'd like us to for the dog, home depot runs and general practicality) is going all the way to Florida for college next year. So the idea is, keep the CLS or replace it with something else, and then get another X3 (used) and then have the Miata as a more weekend type car. The X3 has been a huge help with the dog who we take out with us a lot, that and its the only vehicle he doesn't throw up in! If we don't do the Miata will likely try to replace the CLS with two separate vehicles, although I do love the CLS a lot, some tough decisions in the next year!

Of course there is a fourth option, keep the M2! We are enjoying it a lot, and decided to get it over an M340i despite the rear doors because the car is so much more enjoyable than most of BMW's newer offerings all of which are getting huge! I swear, if they made a 4-door version of the current RWD based 2-series (sadly not happening because of the FWD GC ) I would put my deposit down immediately.
I like your ND Miata idea. I actually started an entire thread comparing the ND Miata to the M2C. In fact, I had a Miata on order and last minute I have decided to cancel it and go with a M2C, due to required practicality. And honesty I miss getting the Miata, but will add one at some point.

Doubt I'll ever sell her. I've grown a bond with her. Gave her a name. Talk to her for fun. That's weird probably.
