If I am in the market today...
I have to say that there is nothing awfully exciting right now or in the near future for me. If I absolutely must have to get a new car within the next 12 months here are some candidates:
Acura TL - SH-AWD + 300hp is inviting but again if the size remains roughly the same then it's a bit too big for my taste. 300hp would not be "enough" to offset the added weight by SH-AWD, something like 330hp is more desirable.
BMW 335di - I got a feeling that this thing will be even more expensive than the petrol 335i, which would be too rich for my blood.
BMW 135i - Again, kind of expensive for such a little car. The one in my liking would be around $43k...
Infiniti G35 - I'll definitely consider this if something happens to my IS350...
Lexus IS250/350 Coupe - Another candidate if bad things happen...
Pontiac G8 GT - I am really liking this car right now, a poor man's 5-series at around $32k loaded. The only downsides are the gas-guzzling V8 and its GM heritage.
Based on the list looks like I'll be driving my current ride for a long time to come.
