You know what I just realized?
That "sub $100k" category isn't that attractive.
For $100k, you can't buy a car like Aventador or 488, not even GT-R or Porsche 911.
When you hear "sub $100k" you would try to get as close as possible to $100k, but there aren't many fun to drive car around that price range.
If you lower your price much lower, where its "affordable" you will start to see more attractive cars.
Subaru WRX STi
Mazda Miata
Fiat 124 Abarth
Toyota 86
Mini John Cooper Works
Nissan 370Z Nismo
Ford Focus RS
Honda Civic Type R
Volkswagen Golf R
So just to clarify, you're being offered a free vehicle, and you're taking all of those listed above instead of, say, a BMW M2 (equipped to suit your preference)?
Following the rules strictly.
4Runner maxed out options and warranty... not a car? fuck right off, and suck a cock.
$65,314.55
Hahahaha. I approve.
Also, pretty sweet ride for $65k all-in.

Lease it.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this absolves you of having to pay it since you're actually only "purchasing" a portion of the car's value (original price minus residual) and pay taxes (ie. GST) on only that portion. In a $100k car on a 4-year lease, that might be around $50k (rough estimate).
When there's only a 1-2% difference in lease and finance rates (as with all German carmakers generally), leasing becomes a lot more appealing and even a 15% luxury tax wouldn't be nearly as painful if it did apply.
is it even possible to daily one of these? the first and last time i tried to get in and out of an elise i was practically crawling out on my hands and knees... i don't think i can do that every day

Brand new? I'd buy a Toyota Sequoia Platinum. Love Toyota for reliability, resale, interface, overall value. Can tow a fun car in a trailer, seating for family for road trips, can add a TRD supercharger if desired and still have manufacturers warranty, maintenance is easy and not expensive. The list goes on. I wouldn't even consider another SUV and my plan, if budget allows, is to buy one in the next couple years.
I'd fuck with an M2 though. Saw one next door at my work and it looks mean as hell. Love the bulkiness and body lines. Typically I hate on new Euro shit but the M2 excites me more than the 1M did in 2011. Not sure I could live with a sports car every day though. I'm old and cranky and my fun cars just sit because dailying them is an inconvenience.
The elegant Corolla S for your "luxury" touring
The Corolla CE w/ 6speed for your light engaging "sporting" needs
The corolla LE as your "daily"
and finally Corolla LE ECO for your long distance "cruising" needs.
The answer is always corolla!
oh wait i think ill be over 100k if you buy 4.... but maybe they'll give you some good discounts and squeeze it into 100k budget
not really much inventory to speak of... this is the only "new" one in stock (25kms on odo) in vancouver and it's $145k:
I'm assuming you'd have to special order one new, but they don't list the Canadian pricing anywhere. Looking at the UK pricing I don't think any Exige's are under $100k CDN new, but an Elise might be. My main problem is I don't really like anything new, most of the higher-end cars that I like are 7-10 years old now.

i don't follow lotus well so maybe someone can answer this better but they stopped selling the elise/exige back in 2011 because the airbag exemption expired? this article says it won't come back until 2020
does this mean the only legal lotus available to buy new is the evora?

Quite possibly, that might explain why I can only find ~10 year old ones for sale.
Excluding Lotus then I'd have to say I'm having a hard time coming up with anything that I'd want that goes much above $60k all-in (370Z Nismo or 4Runner TRD are all I can think of so far)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned a Lotus yet. Although I can't find any solid pricing for Canada.
I mentioned the Evora on the 1st page, I am fairly certain you can get them for under 100K

Great cars... nice reliable Toyota powerplant, good on fuel, and they come with some decent creature comforts and suspension you can daily making them not as hard to live with as a 4C or Elise.
