I was really thinking hard about my next car being a Camaro SS but the more I enjoy my si, the more I'm leaning toward getting another (relatively) cheap, lightweight car. I don't think I'm gonna enjoy replacing the tires, brakes, etc on a RWD car making 400 plus hp. So now I'm leaning toward my next car being a project car (BRZ, ND2 Miata). But of course I'll also be looking at the next gen STI, Type R, and Nissan Z. I would like for my next car to be a coupe though.

I was looking at the BRZ & Miata but their a little tight for me standing at 6’5” 230 lbs the civic coupe was just right for me Camaros aren’t bad they have more leg room than a mustang

I'd probably look into the Si Sedan (depending on styling) or the Civic Hatchback.

Heck, by the time I'm ready to look for another car, the Veloster might finally get it's interior game to catch up with the rest of the segment.

I also heavily shopped the Mazda 3 Hatchback, when I bought my Si Coupe.

Not a current coupe owner, but my next car will be coupe. So here's my short list... I'm shopping "used" unfortunately, but definitely going low mileage, lightly used. Whatever car I choose will have to hold me over til I get a C8 for myself when I turn 50. So I must choose wisely.

(In order from most to least desirable...)

Veloster N
Accord Coupe V6
Genesis Coupe V6
Altima Coupe V6
G35/G37 Coupe
Civic 2.0 Coupe Sport 6MT

Then a few years later in life....
C8
718 Cayman (GT4 maybe?)

Most of the 40 vehicles i have owned have been 2 door and i probably wont change that. I will probably keep my si coupe for 5 years and hopefully the c8 market gets to the 50k range.

I'm waiting to see how the Nissan Z pans out, and in case Honda does actually release an S2000 successor in the next few years.

I have always had manual transmission coupes and my next vehicle will most likely be no different.
I have always liked the the Lexus RC 350 AWD F Sport but lack of a manual transmission option, and price vs fuel economy would most likely will still keep me away. Sure looks like fun though
