Newer car, looking for some opinions Options

[6gsillyca]

I didn't want to jack dustin's thread so...My GF and myself were thinking of saving up a bit to put a down payment on something newer. So far, these are the choices...

I know they all aren't in the same price range, but I/we are willing to spend a bit more for something a little more luxurious/classy (TL/G35). Looking for something between $25-30k CAD. Car prices up here are a bit more expensive than they are stateside, but if you guys can suggest anything else that fits in the price range, please post it up and WHY. Just to compare, a few local guys imported a couple brand new 06-07 sti's last year from the states, and they ended up being close to $5-6k CAD chepaer landed (after import taxes/duty/gst/excise/whatnot).

Let me know! Thanks!

What about Lexus IS250-350? I would def get that over any of the above. Classy, quick and safe [thinking AWD 250]. Plus you still get Toyota quality.

i agree full heartedly. even the is300 would be great.
and as for the G35, didn't you guys know that it is just a dumbed down skyline? G35, R35, notice any connection here? no it may not be awd but still it has the looks. they still haven't released the r35gtr anyway.
i am also sorry to say, but i just see too many hondas on the road to recomend one, unless it is just going to be a regular daily driver. if you do get a honda, stick with the acura division. much better looking cars imo.
