CPO Lexus LS 460..... BALLIN. Drop some 22's on it and call it a day. Its a great looking car and they are relatively priced well and are reliable. Go for it

Since size is an issue due to future family plans leave the ISF and the C63 alone, they're to small for car seats. Stick with the E class CTS (check the rear room for this one too) STS/ 5 Series/ A6 /GS/ G37 etc.

How about an A6? They are pretty cheap and are very luxurious.

and if you can get past the badge
Taurus SHO and Genesis 4.6 is a great choice. SHO if you want something sporty, genesis v8 if you want luxury.

Ya, I guess the C-class is too small, that rules out the AMG C... The AMG E-class will probably be too expensive...
So, that leaves:
550i
LS 460
A6
CTS-V
E-Class
Still leaning towards the 550i... Although the A6 is mighty sweet looking...
In the end, it may depend on what deals on buying/leases the dealers have in Dec/Jan...

A base E350 is the same price as a base C63 AMG, iirc.

550i- yes to all except style and interior... whoops
LS 460- like posted before, you'll need bigger rims
A6- chip it, all-wheel drive monster or consider an S4
CTS-V- a BEAST... but... electrical problems and new GM solvency grumblings
E-Class- seats are rocks, otherwise beautiful
With other cars in your stable, do you need winter traction? Based on your above, A6 wins

If you don't want to drop $75K+ on a C63 AMG...I would also look into the Mercedes E550 if you like the Mercedes styling. They start at $50K and move nicely...very comprable to the IS350 in terms of performance but a good amount larger. It is a nice car. I saw one in person at the dealer a while back. GL!

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...

I'd have to say a New 335i. A few buddies have them and they are quite nice. But I've driven the 5 many times when my car was in fro service and that's pretty nice too.
