1. It may just be a typo, but the IS250 is RWD (not FWD) if it doesn't have AWD
2. Do you need AWD in Hawaii? Keep in mind an IS250 AWD is just about as much as an IS350
3. What do you get in a "base" A4? I ask because even a base IS250 is pretty nicely equipped
4. The new C300 is nice, but do you want to buy a first year car from a company with the poor reliability record of Mercedes Benz?
5. Just wondering.....have you looked at the 2007+ G35? The previous model DID feel cheap inside, but the new one is MUCH nicer. It also has WAY more power for everything you are considering, given your price point.
