Right now, the 335i is on my top list. the following that will be the new W204 (hopefully coupe version) and also upcoming A4 coupe. maybe even the IS500 when it comes out

I too am going to wait for the 08 Coupe to come out. I'm a hatchback guy through and through. However, I'm also going to give some time to see how the 335 BMW turns out for reliability.

Currently, I'm real happy with my C Coupe right now - Knock on wood.

Getting ready to do some high mileage maintenance to get me the next two years. (Tranny flush, bushings, perhaps bearings, etc.)

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Well, being that I just got my C in April, I won't have another car until this warranty is up in the end of September 2008. I'm saving my money now in smart investments and such, so by then I'll be getting a used CLS or the new (used by that time) S550. I'm too excited, I want it to be sooner!

For that budget ($34K) I think I will get a used E-class (W211) or a CLK 430 (W208)

dont get the evo 9...you minus well wait for the evo 10. as for an audi i would rather get an e-class. remember this will be the first year the w204 is made and you dont want to get stuck with any first year problems.

Ok, we're all forgetting something about the EVO, it has race seats, not terribly comfortable. Actually, I was slightly disappointed with the comfort and comfort is one of those things that are pretty important in my book, especially when buying a vehicle you'll be driving every day.

I'd take a bottom line new Mercedes over an EVO any day.

I just got back from Europe and while there I saw the new Audi TT on the road, and I must say that will be my next car. Might change my mind when the new C class comes out, we'll see. I've also seen the new 3 series coupe, am I the only one who thinks the new coupe looks too long ?

Probably won't even look at getting a new car for a while, but if I were to do it now, it'd be the Audi Q7.
