Yes I want navi.
Yes I want leather.
Yes I want something stylish.
Yes I want automatic.
No I don't care totally about engine size or high torque.
No I don't care about brand name.
When it came down to it, the TSX seemed to fit the profile. I wouldn't go as far to say that it has no power. I mean for me, it's more than sufficient. I also have heard only good things about Acura navi and I do want navi.
And FYI, coming off of a 330ci right now, the new 3 series looks like complete shit to me. The ONLY BMW that I would buy now is the new 750 and that's not going to happen anytime soon.

The Off Topic / Ramblings crew is invading.

Saw a 325 with sport package last night. Must have had on 18's. Just gorgeous.

How much is a used S4 like 2003, 2004, and 2005?

I'm surprised that noone has mentioned the Mazdaspeed6.
Last month, I was on my way to visit the Acura dealer to trade my 04 TSX AT for an 06 TSX MT NAV, but I stopped by the Mazda dealer to check out the MazdaSpeed6, and ended up taking one home. Incredible power. Great handling. Its interior is not as refined as the TSX, and it's not a luxury nameplate, but IMHO, it's a competitive alternative.

A slightly used 330 might work for me...

After I threw in the towel trying to find a 6-spd manual in Orange County, the TSX was my consilation prize. :silvercup

If I was in a mood for...
fun, then it would be an M3
semi-practical + sport, G35 coupe
road tripper, 04+ TL
speed, an 05+ GTO (don't flame me for this; aussie car after all)
best overall value, still is the TSX which is why I bought it
