Which other car are you considering?

Hey all:

Once your lease is up or you decide to purchase a new vehicle -- what is on your consideration list?

I'm trying to figure out some options when my lease terminates. It's a tough decision! I thought about getting another TSX since the price is perfect -- however, I think it would be good to get something different.

Acura RDX, if its as good as it looks.
Lexus ES
Kompressor

My lease it up in 3 years so plenty of time to think about it.

i will be staying in acura family, probably look at the 2nd gen TSX, TL, or RDX - as long as they have sh-awd w/decent power.

i've got many relatives into the other brands, so driving other cars is no problem, i let them deal with the maintenance hassles.

Any speculation as to what the Lexus IS350 will retail at?

I love my TSX, but when my lease is up, unless the dealer can make me a great deal on a TL or a speedier '08 TSX, I'm gonna seriously look at TRYING to get my hands on a new Shelby Mustang and a beater Accord (because it would be crazy to drive a Shelby to work every day!)

I honestly have no idea at this point.

With gas prices where they are and likely staying I'm thinking something very frugal. Maybe a new Civic, Mazda 3 or Hybrid of some sort.

Every time I see more news on the new Civic, it looks more and more attractive to me. I just hope Honda doesn't price it into oblivion.

I could do without the body kit that was recently spied but otherwise I think it's a great little car.

IS250 6MT

If everything goes as planned, I'll probably be purchasing one at the end of this year or early next year. I'd like to have the IS350, but no 6MT kills the deal (doesn't matter if it has 300hp).

Maybe a BMW, MB, Lexus IS250 or 350. Its hard to choose since the 06 line up is coming.

Something from Lexus or Acura

RX 330 or 400h
IS 250 or 350
GS?

RDX

Preferably a hybrid, but it has to be under $50K.

My TSX only has 35,000 miles. I'm keeping it until 80K or so. Lots of time to think about it... and save money.
