Very Hard Choice.
Lots of looking and research takes me to a hard place. Choosing one of these 6 cars. Heres a very short take on each.
1. 2009 Acura TL
Pros: AWD, new design, more HP.
Cons: New design, Heavy, no manual.
2. BMW 135i
Pros: Smokin fast, 50/50 RWD, color options.
Cons: Price, Run-flat tires, price loaded.
3. Infiniti G37S
Pros: Price loaded.
Cons: Heavy pig, 0-60 not great, ? looks.
4. Lexus IS 350
Pros: Pretty quick, quality.
Cons: Numb steering, no manual, quality going south.
5. Mitsubishi EVO
Pros: Handling, power.
Cons: Quality, interior.
6. Subaru WRX STI
Pros: Handling, power.
Cons: Looks, interior, PRICE.
I am probably getting a new car in April 2009, or ordering one in Feb 2009.
I am highly considering the New 2009 Acura TL IF everything is done the way I want. Acura better add more HP and offer a manual with the AWD. Also keep the weight down. It has to do 0-60 in low 5's.
The next car is the BMW 135i. This car LOOKS MUCH better IN person then in pictures, so lets NOT go there. This car hauls ass period. When optioned out it is not cheap, but its $6000 less then a 335i coupe with about the same options. The run-flat tire crap really bothers me, and BMW reliability also. BUT the 3 series has gotten much better, and the 1 series is avout the same car. It has been overseas for years so its not a new car.
The next is the Infiniti G37S. I personally think it looks pretty good in person. I like the interior but I HATE the wishi-washi aluminum crap, and the little clock, otherwise the interior is really nice. The 19" wheels and other things makes this car a 3840# pig, and its shows with acceleration. The cars handles really good and is a fun car to drive.
Thats about it. All 6 of these cars are on my list, but only these 3 are on the top, so the other 3, Lexus, STI, EVO I have decided against for personal reasons.
Any constructive criticism or opinions is appreciated, BUT please no bashing.
Thankyou and have a great day.
OOPS, whatever car I purchase it will be WHITE, be a manual and must do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds or LESS.

I guess I wasn't clear enough in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175993, so I will clarify. All car comparisons need to be in Car Talk in the Off Topic section of the forum. Since we can't move threads there, feel free to restart the discussion.
