Question I need an Opinion...

My 02 tl-p has 48,000 miles on it. I tend to get bored very easily...and am now exploring the option of possible trading in the puppy for something else. I know...once I cross the 50,000 mark...the value is going to drop dramatically.
I would like to get a manual transmission this time...but I feel like I should bouce this off of other car minded enthusiasts. (By the way...I am not looking to just throw money away...looking for the most reasonable decision taking, cost, value, and performance into consideration.)
I am considering the following

350z enthusiast
G35 coupe
IS 300
or....keep the tl, extend the warranty (not sure how much this is going to cost) and be happy ...advice is much appreciated.

I would hold off for a tiny bit... the new TL is right around the corner, if you got something else, you could be pissed at urself when it comes out.

G35/350Z you cant go wrong.
IS300 can lick me

If you get bored easily with cars then just start leasing next time.

I would also wait for the 04 TL to come out this fall to see how it is. As far as your choices: G35/350Z , IS300 :bigun2: .
