What should I get?

All this talk got me thinking about my next car. My lease is up in 4000 miles in July and I ll have to get a new car( fixed the credit errors for those that followed, score at 690). Besides the crappy saab that I am still trying to get rid of I have a 2006 legacy gt as pictured. Fully loaded, 250hp awd. Was a very fun car but at the same time very somewhat classy. I want another car thats fun and fast but yet you can wear a suit and look presentable. Any recommendations? and no I dont want a pinto

Suits are pretty much required with this.

Have a look at the BMW 328i or 335i Coupe. The 335 is a bit pricer but has got plenty of speed. Both kind of straddle the line between fun and adulthood.

Yeah I was also looking into Audi A4, I think the new redesighned model is very attractive.

Maybe an Acura TL. THe main bad thing is that there are so many of them. They have a V6 w/high 200's HP.

I am seriously considering another Legacy. Very quick, its like a cheetah in a tuxedo. I am not really crazy about the new look, I liked mine better. I might buy out mine and just make payments on it but a new ride is always nice.

Ok, like a Lexus is an overpriced Toyota, or an Infiniti is an overpriced Nissan.

Bottom line is it all depends on your priorities.

to be honest with you I dont understand why they cost so much. Get a brand new civic with leather seats and buy a detachable gps and you have a acura tl.Lexus and infinity are in a complete different class then an acura.

You're probably not familiar with the Legacy GT. It definitely does not evoke the Brat or Justy.

Subaru has come a long way since those turds were on the road.

Nah the B-spec has six speed, I have the five speed. WRX and GT are pretty much on the same level. The gt is a lot more restricted but gets a lot less/ no attention from the cops. Buddy of mine has an STI limited and gets stalked by cops all the time, meanwhile I have never been pulled over in the legacy. If you ever get a chance test drive the b-spec, its a fun machine. Navigation is very retarded and hard to control. I find myself using tomtom more then the built in one but all the other options that it comes with are very useful.Digital gas gauge is the shit.

oh forgot to meantion, the 06 didnt have the steering wheel radio buttons which I personally found unusually uncomfortable and pretty much knew that the new model was going to have this option. 6 cd changer is nice, stock stereo is very impressive but I think they should sign up with bose. Its a lot of car for. Sticker price is $31975

If you're looking to stand out, my vote would go to the 2009 A4 (due out in Sept.) over the Bimmer as this area suffers from severe market dilution with anything BMW. You certainly see less of the Audi as they are ranked 3rd in the Euro-luxury segment. IMO, better overall interior, distinctiveness and AWD traction control, but lacks the off-the-line pick-up that BMW offers. Not such a big deal considering the NoVA traffic volume. -§

Have you consider what happens when a cell-phone toting rabid soccer mom rams that little thing with a Ford Expedition or a GMC Yukon Denali?

Go with a Toyota or Lexus: anything made in the USA / engineered in the USA is total garbage. I saw a great Ford commercial the other day saying "Fords quality now matches Toyota!" - what a fucking joke.

Reminds me of a re-designed Trans-Am from Smokey and the Bandit. At least the Goat has 400hp. Not that you'd need in in NoVA traffic or anything.
