I would also take a Lancer EVO FQ-400, it can carry the groceries faster than almost anything else

EVO FQ-400 would be quite the vehicle, but it doesn't quite have the panache of some of the other cars out there. An Audi Quattro Sport would do the job for me I think. That turbo I-5 is a much better sounding engine than the EVO's and even though the performance envelope isn't on the same par, it's better looking and even today it's an icon of performance.

either an Audi RS4 Avant (fast and can hold a butload of groceries in the back), or an BMW M5. Both of them can fill your needs quite easily.

More sport, less practicality: TVR 350 - It has quite a bit of luggage space under the rear window. The problem is of course that I'm a devoted skier and I doubt that it is any good up the last slippery hills to the resort...
Edit: Servicing the Speed Six engine might not be very cheap, either...

Seems like a few guys around here have trouble with defining the term sportscar. People these days regard anything that's fast with two doors or even four as a sportscar. Some certainly know jack shit about everyday use of sportcars. LOL@Navigators, Elise, TVR's. They're either ridiculously impractical, or don't fit the bill sportscar at all.
Definition: "a small low car with a high-powered engine; usually seats two persons"
For everyday use the only cars that fit the question are Porsches and Corvettes. Those cars have proven to be reliable and comfortable enough to be everyday cars.
Perhaps some Aston Martins fit the bill to some extent, but for everyday use the options are limited. And besides, those are more luxury GT's instead of real sportscars.

I choose my Porsche 911SC! 
It is my everyday car anyway and is big enough inside to take two computer gamers and their desktop systems to a LAN party.
Fuel consumption is great and maintenance is cheap-ish. Roughly $200-300 per service from my private mechanic. Tyres are roughly $250-400 per tyre depending on front or rear.
Although I think I'd prefer a late 80's Carrera, if only for the gearbox.
At the 275 Ferrari tour I met a guy who uses his 275GTB/4 as an everyday car. It has over 450 000km on the clock. He lives in the USA and may have been from New York (But I am not sure about that!). He even said maintenance is not too bad either!

What sort of luxury are you used to now?

Hey it just said "any car you wanted" then every one picked a sports car. I'v had 2 Town cars, and now a Lincoln LS V8, so after having a real sport sedan, i figure i'd move up in the world.
But if it had to be a sports car then i'd go with 71' Mack 1 Mustang, plenty of power and fun as hell!
