I'm bored with daily cars. Please Help.

I really want something that is brilliant to drive - a genuine grin-inducing daily, where the commute up and down the A2 won't seem like a drive into the abyss of middle age and death.
The daily commute on the motorway is always going to be a bore-fest, and you will just end up kicking yourself doing it in a lotus, itll be uncomfortable, you wont be able to use the car anywhere near its potential etc..I vote for some big old comfy barge, stuff like a BMW 7 series with full leather/wood and ideally a carphone built into it to waft to work in all the luxury daily-banger money will buy you. Think of the barge as an extension of your bed/comfy chair, comfortably transporting you to work. And even a relatively "slow" 728 will be just fine.

The route isn't the problem! Driving in the south east is crap on many many routes!
Like the idea of a 7-series. I have a convertible XJS already and that, is most definitely, not a daily!
Something wafty with savage power sounds like the solution! Jag XJR, something AMG perhaps? Like the idea of a 7-series. I have a convertible XJS already and that, is most definitely, not a daily!
Monaro. New Mustang.

many thanks for the help.
But.
A Lotus Elise?
Maybe an Evora, yes, but an elise?
Any other suggestions? (scuttles off to look at evoras)
I've driven a Lotus Elise of some description, as a daily, for nearly ten years! Be it the weekly shop, the commute to work, long journeys across the country or the odd European road trip ... rain, sleet or snow! Pussy. But.

But in all seriousness, the Evora is a much more comfortable proposition. The handling is sublime and the sound from the V6 is fantastic with an aftermarket exhaust. It's what I'd get now. The Elise feels a bit more 'race car', especially the S1 ... and especially so with a Honda/Duratec/Audi engine conversion.
