"Handling" is a very subjective goal.. Modern day "handing: IMO, if mainly looking for bang for buck, A Miata and a new big bad Vette comes to mind at the top of the list. I'll still always take my old Mopars, but it will never compare to a long list of modern cars, at any budget I have or would care to spend.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
