I assume she won't want to travel far, because the CNG storage will consume all of whatever trunk space would normally be provided in a small car.

Do a websearch for European CNG systems, Eng-Tips policy prohibits company or product plugging.

Please indicate budget.
Please define sports car as many people have differing ideas on what a sports car is, eg. Does it need a traditional badge like MG or Alfa Romeo. Must it be devoid of a proper roof, can it seat more than 2 people. Does it need to be high performance, or even high performance at the expense of comfort.
Things that spring to mind are Honda's S2000 and Integra, Mazda's MX5 and RX8, Subaru WRX, various MGs, BMW M3 or M5?, various Porsche, Chevy Corvette, Pontiac GTO, all Lotus. If I go on, the list gets enormous.

Pat's correct, everyones idea of a sports car is different. Baldwin; since you are familiar with the CNG arena, you are also familiar with the problems with CNG storage, shape of cylinders,etc.

But picking a car is easy.
I feared he would ask us how to keep it 'always full' for the wife.

If you'd increase boost, lower it and add some nice wheels to it, it could be considered a green sports car.
