Well, the current shopping list for 2011 looks like this:

-BMW 135i (tied for 1st)
-->PROS: Funky looks, FAST (prolly sub 5 sec to 60mph), amazing handling, BMW safety
-->CONS: Funky looks, expensive!, hard to modify, expensive to own (and fix), RWD in New England, small interior, few dealer options that I can afford

-Camaro SS (tied for 1st)
-->PROS: Looks AWESOME, FAST (prolly sub 5 sec to 60mph), best handling Camaro ever (prolly), safest Camaro ever, inexpensive, easy to modify, GMPP!, the-look-on-the-face-of-the-M3-driver-in-my-rearview-mirror!
-->CONS: RWD in New England, gas mileage, cramped back seats(?), GM build quality (IF they keep to the past), rear tires will be expensive, insurance cost

-Subaru WRX STI (2nd)--Ugly as hell but its fast, has AWD (I'm from Boston remember), and could fit a couple of young kids when they come along.

-Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (3rd)--Also pretty ugly, fast as hell, SUPER AWD, four doors with room for kids

-Pontiac G8 (4th)--I'd rather have the Chevy Lumina SS from South Africa that I saw a pic of... I'd take that and drop a 550hp LSX into it! It's big enough for the whole family and fast enough for me!

This may be sort of off topic, but I thought I'd toss it in here anyway...
