What are you looking for?

Small payments? Good all year/all season? Luxury? Reliability? The never the better? Perfomance?

All of these will sway your decision in dramatic ways.

cant believe i missed that. IS300, or a GS300 would be cool, like you said, Lexus/toyota reliability + 2J. i like the GS lowered with a nice wide set of wheels. not fast, but comfortable and nice.

Are you going to be driving people around? like clients?

Acura TL/TSX is always a fine choice in DD.
