My favorite car, is quite simply, the Alfa Romeo Brera.
It's stunning looks, lovely interior, and big amount if power and torque, makes it a great all-rounder. The Top Gear team also quoted it as "one of the most beautiful cars ever made." Also planning to get a Brera as a first car.
Have a standard version, a 2.2 JTS replica tune, 3.2 Q-Tronic replica tune, Brera Novitec tune, Brera S tune and a fully tuned setup. (Also working on a 2.2 JTS Selespeed, 2.4 JTDm, 2.4 JTDm Q-Tronic, and a 1750 TBi tune aswell.)
The 2.2 JTS, 3.2 Q-Tronic and the Brera Novitec, runs on Comfort Medium Tyres, while the Brera S 3.2 and 2.2, run on Comfort Soft Tyres.
I have to say it, but the Brera it is a hard car to tune right, if you put all the performance upgrades on it, but once you figure out a tune which suits your driving style, it is a really fun car to drive. Fully tuned, it's running on Sport Medium/Soft Tyres, I aslo drive the Brera (any of the tunes I have.) as much as I can!
Don't remember the exact specs, of the fully tuned version, but the beauty of the Brera is just mindblowing, and it is also a rather powerful car (Both in stock form, and tuned.)
Will post some pictures if the interest is big enough.
