If you didnt have a subaru...... I'd have a hell of alot more money AND more skin on my knuckles than at present 
Seriously though,i'd get straight back in my BMW E36 M3 ! Best car i've ever owned for reliability,never really let me down in 3 years and it got some serious stick from me

I swapped my scoob for a E39 530i Sport Champagne edition (basically, one with all the toys fitted).
Its only a short term runaround, but its already better on fuel and so much more comfy to drive, and I can chuck it around like its a car half its size/weight.
Although I need to get the geometry sorted as it understeers worse than the average Impreza - Lucky I have owned a e39 5-er before, so I know its not supposed to be like that
I'm looking at something smaller and nippy for the long term though - Z4 coupe is on the cards, still a bit too much money though.
Have looked at a Clio v6, but still trying to get my head round it. As I doubt I could live with one as a daily driver.

Would have to be a 1973 911 RS lightweight 'ducktail' carrara - in white with red decals. Was on the lookout for a classic 911 in 1998, test drove one of these, awsome. Sorted the finance etc then came home from work one day to the Mrs: " you'd better sit down, I think I'm preg.....".
The rest, as they say, is history! One day though, I'll have one.

I'm quite ready to be flamed for saying this, but recently I'd be tempted by a MG260 (the rover 75 they shoehorned a 4.6 V8 into) - for the right price. It'd have to be cheap though, cos after all it is a Rover. I can't afford a Monaro, so I'd be looking at V8 power for as little cash as possible I think. There's no other Turbo cars I'm really taken with other than the Impreza - Evos are just too much hassle and expense for day to day running.
