1) C7, if I can afford it.
2) If I can't, then I'd settle with IS. But no manual transmission!!!
3) Meh. Since no manual transmission anyways, might as well go with CLA for a short period of time until something good comes out.

Default My C7 order has been placed

My dealers best guess is the November time frame but depending on production increases or slow downs could be late October or even Jan-Feb time frame. I've got my insurance quote, money ready and just trying to decide if I want to pay the extra for the Museum delivery and dash plaque in Bowling Green plus a rental to get there and motel stay.

But I'm leaning that way .

Torch Red Z51 Coupe, 3LT trim in Kalahari, full red roof, Black wheels w/Red Calipers, Carbon Fiber Dash, and Performance Exhaust. Close to photo below but interior will be Kalahari and Carbon Fiber Roof will be all Red.

Having one of my retirements from the car business, I know one of the upsides of picking it up there, is it won't be tied down to the stops on various carriers (rail and trailer) so car will have no degradation on the shocks & suspension components. NCL (National Corvette Museum) is across the street from the 'berthing' facility (plant) !!!

For me, whether its coming or going (especially going), this car has ATTITUDE. Plus it's getting into a price range that sort of dictates the majority of 'New' model buyers will be my age and retired. To me that say's that while it may stay in production for the foreseeable future, it may not make it to a Gen 8. If so, I'd like the 1st year production of Gen 7 (C7) in my garage for one of my boys down the road. She won't be a Daily Driver!!!

The C7 and BMW 4 series get my vote.

I was really excited about the new IS but it looks ugly to me. The second generation looked better.

From the above list:

1) Corvette 7th Generation
My god this thing looks epic and is one of the few new vehicles (along with the Camaro and SRT Viper V10) that help in raising the bar for American Sports Cars. Looking awesome.

Oh and 7-speed manual stick shift = EPIC WIN

2) Infiniti Q50
Looks stunning and I can't believe I'm saying this about an Infiniti. In terms of exterior design, I like it more compared to the new IS.

3) Golf Mark 7

Agreed

Especially the Golf Variant (Estate/Station Wagon)
