IMO, that's no way to decide on a car puchase.

I also really like the IS-F and of course the NSX. Really you can't go wrong with any of those choices.

You're right, I was just making a point. I feel the CTS-V is good looking has a nice size to it, is kind of stealthy, has a very nice interior, easy to use all the controls(sat in one at the auto show) and, not as expensive as the Germans brand new,. So needless to say, I am a big fan..

The Jag is beautiful and also fast but there is still that lingering question about reliability.
You can also probably find some good deals on new 2010 5 series with the '11's arriving next month. This is also the same reason I'd stay away from the E60 M5 with the F10 supposed to be arriving next year.
The CLS looks beautiful but drives, excluding the AMG, like a land barge. The S550 is dead sexy but not as sporty as some of the options you've suggested, but easily the classiest car out of those mentioned.
The S6 is a great car but you have to deal with the brutal service from Audi up here.
My vote would be CTS-V or S6 at the end of the day.

The CTS-V is also considerably bigger than the F. If you're friend is concerned that the F is too small the V might be a better fit. The M3 won't be any better for space than the F.
