2008 IS-F, 2008 BMW M3, 2008 Audi RS4, 2009 Cadillac CTS-V

m3 and c63's msrp may be lower than the is-f however keep in mind folks the c63 and m3 will include a gas guzzler tax (us market) on top of their msrp. the is-f is exempt from such tax since its more fuel efficient than the other two cars. another challenge is finding a dealership that will sell a BASE m-3 or c63. so an apples to apples comparison, the is-f may still be a bargain. i like the three of them though, but the m3 may outsell these two since it has the advantage of offering a manual tranny.

For what it's worth... yeah... this is probably the only segment of the auto market where having a manual tranny is an advantage.

Again, though, I'd take all four cars (if I can find a pristine RS4 secondhand), a place in Monaco and a Chalet in Germany, close to the nurburgring...



Yeah, and I want to look like Brad Pitt and have Bill Gate's credit limit, too...
