If you like the 5-Series, why not go British and go with a Jaguar XF (Supercharged?).

+1 ! The new Jags are nice, but reliability is still unknown at this point. That's why I asked if it was a purchase or lease

I think the IS-F is a logical next step. The 2010 model adds some different tidbits and a LSD! I've driven it on the track and its a complete beast and reviewers agree. Please ignore the ridiculous comments about it.
The XF is another good choice but its even bigger than the 550. Remember the next 5 series will debut in 2011 if you care about owning the newest thing around.
G37 sport sedan and the new M series is coming as well.

The Mazda 3 is a small car. The OP is looking for something a bit bigger than the 3 & IS-F to accomodate a small child. Oh, and the ride.. We don't want the OP to be accused of shaken baby syndrome now.. No ones word is golden here including mine.. The OP will have to get off the keyboard & test drive each of these cars..

The new S4 they have out is another idea. It has an excellent manual tranny but uhm, if you want an automatic, it doesn't have DSG (at least I don't think), it has the old Tiptronic.

S4 is a good suggestion. 185 inches long, so between an IS/GS. 330hp, manual is avail. Starts at 45k but gets pricey fast.

Is the new 5 series debuting next year as a 2011 model or it will debut sometime in the year 2011?
I think I'm leaning away from the IS-F simply because I want something different than my current IS350...

The '10 5 series have already landed (test driving one Thu ) so I would assume that the new gen '11's will be out in actual year 2010.
I may be mistaken, but I thought you were looking for something bigger than your IS. As much as I love my F and the C63, they are both smallish cars.
I would suggest the E series, 5 series or CTS-V. You didn't state a price range, but the next gen M5 is rumored to be a total beast. If Lexus ever gets around to making a GS F that will certainly get a long hard look as well.

Uhm, perhaps you should test-drive the IS-F. I guarantee that you will find it much different from your IS350. I would personally stray away from BMW, regardless of if you're leasing or not. They're a headache.
