I spent many years waiting and looking for the right car.
I now own a Supra (performance version) and enjoy it 
tremendously.  I didn't buy an RX-7 because it was too small,
too slow, and too trendy.  (BIG engine wasn't out yet, nor 
was the BIG price jump)  There is one consideration applicable 
to both of these cars:

Lots of power driving fat tires through a limited slip
differential means POOR handling in the SNOW.  It requires
great care.  It can be handled, but the difference in 
road manners between dry and snow-packed roads is more EXTREME.

The front drive Prelude might be a better all weather choice.
Front drive is great in the snow.

p.s. I store the Supra during the winter and drive a "snow tire'd
	GM V8".  Snow tires are great in the snow.
