Default Your next car after your IS?

What cars would you consider after you had a taste of the IS? I'm looking at this for 2008..

If I could drop $80K+ on that I'd look at it also. Plan on keeping this car for a while so its impossible to say what I may have.

Haven't given it much thought, but it could very well be the upcoming 328i or 335i. Who knows.

Default Being realistic here...

Well, since the IS is a pretty small sedan, I would like to get something bigger when the time comes (family or the such). The IS works for me now because I'm single, but if I had a family, I'd probably go get an Avalon or ES. I'm not a big SUV fan, and I needed 7 passenger seating, I'd go for a Sienna before an SUV.

First, I want to get my IS, then maybe a new Audi TT or Cayman...I have a family, but they will just have to squeeze in. As for the top car, whether a Lexus or Toyota, or whatever badge they put on it, it's still an awful looking car IMO...

Maybe a Tesla : http://www.teslamotors.com looks like a Lotus Elise but all electric, 0-60 in 4 seconds. (Engineered and built by Lotus)

Still love the Boxster and Caymen. Elise is too small.
