Just read about Ford's new Focus SVT that will be out in about a year.  It sounds like it will be worth the wait.  Ford's SVT vehicles are awesome.   They really know how to tweak the cars to get great performance from an otherwise normal vehicle.  I drove a friends Contour SVT and it is incredible, smokes my Taurus SHO with the V8!  You could always go for an SVT F-150 Lightning pick up.  There is your two seater with a huge trunk! (Even regular Focus hatches aren't that bad.  A little wimpy in the engine department, but man do they handle.)  Mustang GT Convertible would be good too, just put the tuba in the rear seat.  That's what I used to do with mine.  I really miss my convertible. I am really trying to figure out how to get one.  I was thinking of an old used Miata.  I don't know if I could get my tuba in the pasenger seat or not though I would have to try it out before I bought it.
