Caddy CTS- The new one yes
Pontiac G8 GT- test drove it and fell in love
Ford Fusion- not a bad car for mid $20's
Saab 9-3 Sport Aero- awd turbo, very nice!
Dodge Charger SRT8- not a mopar man but they have grown on me. nice car
EDIT: Volvo S60-R *used- I have always liked them

Out of the vehicles I would choose, I ranked them for the hell of it.
1-Hands down the G8 GT - style,performance and price for this vehicle new is excellent, imo
2-SRT 8
3-S60-R
4-Saab 9-3
5-CTS
6-Fusion

I know its not on the list and is smaller compared to the others, but the Cobalt SS is a lot of bang for the buck.
