I've heard only one person mention this car so far. What about the lexus IS300 or IS430? A fast and sporty yet luxurious car, coupled with excellent built quality and re-sale value.
My first thoughts about the GTO as a daily driver were that she'd be spending ridiculous sums of money to fill the tank every week. approximately 30 miles per gallon on the highway is quite good actually, i just can't stand the looks of the car though personally. Another issue would be winter driving a rwd beast.
My only other suggestions would be an RX-8, which are slightly underpowered (IMO, and according to stock dyno #s), but are amazing through the twisties, attractive looking (IMO), not to mention a 9000 rpm revving rotary motor.
Keep us posted on your car hunt.
