My 07 IS350 lease is up in Dec, what car should I get next?
Topic says it all... My lease is up the first week of December... What should my next car be?
I want a 4 door, with power and good looks... Was thinking about getting a 5 series... What's new and exciting that will be avail in December? Also, I can wait until next year (Jan, feb, whatever) as I have other cars to drive in the meanwhile...
On a side note, I am considering selling my IS350 to try and make some profit as the residual is $25.5k but it seems that I may be able to sell it for more than that...

Check out the new Ford Taurus SHO before making a decision. The Twin-Turbo, EcoBoost V6 will give you 365 HP...plus decent mileage for that kind of power. Unfortunately, there will probably not be many on the lot for sale, as, according to the Ford people, it will be a special-order car only (which means a 4-6 week wait). And, unless here is a LOT of price gouging at the dealerships (which is a distinct possibility), you probably won't pay as much as for a BMW 5-series.....and get a more reliable car to boot.

S4 would be great, agreed that if you want something larger the new Taurus SHO should be looked at.
A6 also has a 3.0 Supercharged V6 this year, slightly detuned from the S4 duty.
As far as your IS, by December, I don't know how much more than 25.5 you'd be able to sell your IS350 for.

go and look at these cars in person.. the picture of the BMW above looks hot and tasty, but like all photos, it's a hit or miss (bringing you back to the good old AOL days). LOL

The 5 series still have too much Chris Bangle in its design and I hate those Japanese cartoon eyes for tail lights. The interior is not up to par compare to Lexus and Audi. If all you really care about is performance and willing to give up everything else, then the 5 series perfect for you.
