I drove an IS250, it's not powerful but still left me with shaky legs after a test drive. lol. Back seat is a bit small though.

I wouldn't count out the CTS either, or spring for a CTS-V if the price is right. :D

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C350 would be a great car, but I think that's probably pushing over $27K. I'd say Infiniti for a blend of power/luxury. Personally I'd prefer the Lexus IS250, but power is less important to me than quality, fuel economy and reliability.

That said, 2 door and RWD may not be the most "practical"

Define "practical"  ???

Manual or auto tranny?

guys, i just noticed the OP has 1 post...  we are probably wasting time throwing things on here that isn't gonna be read. 

I drove an IS250, it's not powerful but still left me with shaky legs after a test drive. lol. Back seat is a bit small though.

IS250 to me, felt like 325..  OK, but really not enough power.    but interior is put together real nice.   :)

if it were my money though, it would either be TL or G35/37


Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D
