I don't know what your budget is. However if I was to go with a "screamer" new car I'd go with a Evo(but wait on the Evo 10 if you can) if you can't wait go with the new Sti.
if you don't like either one of those an Accord v-6 6 speed sweet or a TL with a six speed sweet too.

-TL 6 speed no navi.
-Lexus Es(not very exciting but a nice car)
-Nissan Maxima
-BMW 325(maybe a 330 if you can find a dealer willing to deal).
of that group personally I'd go with the 330.

Actually the 6MT is more "iffy" than the 5AT. People have had shifting problems which have only been cured by using a thinner, non-approved syn blend fluid. This should not have to be done in order for the transmission to operate properly.
The 5AT should be okay...but its past reliability history does make me nervous. Also, does anyone know why the fluid always turns brown within 15-20K... ???

completelyI'd go Legacy GT, if you want something kinda luxurious, but can mod the hell outta it and make it fast
IS250 if you care less about speed, and more about comfort, reliability, and looks. but also available in 4WD like the Legacy if you can afford it. for 35k you MIGHT even be able to step up to the 350, especially that late into the year. only downside is no AWD and no manual tranny

if you can find a deal maybe find a new WRX Sti. If you wait till October or around that time you might find a left over 06 because the 07s will be coming in. They'll work with you.
