9-2X bro.

And lol @ an EVO. They are 240SX status (read: old porn star status)

I don't feel like I need AWD at all. RWD preferred.

Aside from being heavy, underpowered, and looking like a Camry, what is wrong with an IS250? The interior looks nice, and I bet it's quiet.

What's wrong with the IS250 is the availability of the G35/37 at about the same price.

Refinement vs. Muscle.

First gen IS ain't that far ahead of the G and the G is pretty good in absolute, and of course the G has WAY more muscle and character (esp. the curvy fenders when looking out the windshield - seems minor but I love it).

Hmm...

Not bad for 11K, and the good news is that you'll have 4K to get you through the first 2 years of repairs.

Most are autotragics, and there are very few.
They are all Autos. Only the 2009 GXPs were offered with a manual!

Problem is prior to the new generation, the C Class has consistently been one of the worst cars for sale in the US for quite some time. Unlike the 3er or A4 or the G or others of the poser class, it offered absolutely zero value proposition - it was like an E Class, except worse in every single way.

I do not find the little Benz particularly appealing. CTS-V is appealing.

HHR SS. It satisfies none of your criteria, but it has no Heritage, and the guy that made it was High.

I will take this suggestion very seriously with zero percent consideration.

We'll agree to disagree. Right. Moving forward.

Moving forward is not something I would choose an HHR for.

CTS-V is winning in my head. It wins on the track, too. And at the drive-in on Saturday nights.

A CTS-V just passed me on the highway. It was being tailed by an HHR. What does this mean?
