-You can get employee pricing or invoice anywhere.
-WRX and EVO are both a bit more practical.
-Other cars you could consider are BMW 3 series coupes, 1 series, Audi A4/A5.

Here's what my heart has to say to you:

-The 370z is by far the sexiest out of all the aforementioned cars.



I just picked up a 2013 370z Pearl White Sport. I was considering all these same cars. I think to be honest with you, if I lived in rainy/snowy weather, I'd go with something AWD. But if you can manage it, try to get the 370!
^^^This is the same thing on my mind. I have owned a Suabaru since 1986. I have a 2002 now. I love the WRX, but the 370Z was "it" when I saw and drove one. I am in Michigan so the roads are similar. I have Continental DW series and they are great for Dry roads and not so much for anything else> So the right tire for all rear driving would be critical.
I might even suggest getting another set of cheap 18" Nissan rims and getting some Blizzak tires for the winter. I have Blizzaks on the Chrysler Town and Country and they great in the winter.
My Z is in the garage for the winter season. I will take it out on nice dry days after the salt has been washed off the road. I have a winter beater for the bad days- a '91 pathfinder. That way I don't worry about the idiots out there.

The Subaru would be a great all season car though. I cannot justify the cost, cheap interior, so so outside looks and insurance.
