^ what he said.
only bad thing is on the coupe you cant roll down the windows when your car is wet unless you want to get soaked.
besides that . comfortable (been on a 400 mile road trip in it) - reliable (i got it half a year ago..but so far so good!) - Has back seats unlike the Z - fast - stylish sex on wheels, but thats just my opinion.

Best way to narrow down would be to test drive as many from your list as you can. I would go for the Lexus GS400/430, but I am a bit biased

Thank you all for the advice. I really am unsure and all over the place. I am financing as well, I cannot afford to buy it out. But I think I'm going to be financing through USFs credit union.

I am looking for a combination of luxury, fast straight line, good looking, and modern. A G35 was suggested, and I like those coupes actually.

I think unfortunatley I might have eliminated the S2k because I do want something luxurious and more modern than my 93 Legend, and the interior is very simplistic.

I want to be able to mod the car as well, the Legend has few mods. So even if not super fast to start off with, something than can be made fast. I'm a fan of TQ more so than topend I think.

It sucks because the 07-08 TL-S seemed to fit perfect. Looks amazing, nice and luxurious. Can be modded to be faster. But it is still way too expensive still. Unless I could wait a year, which is fine, and spend closer to $18 or so.

Thanks again.

based on your love for the sedan and your budget, you NEED to look into I35. Basically a luxury Maxima with a VQ35de 3.5L 255hp V6.
The only real issue with them is the turning radius is below average, but they are a lot of fun and still have luxury. Also, most Maxima upgrades fit so they are mod friendly.

So is there a particular reason you havn't looked into the charger/300c/or the magnum SRT8s? They can be found for about 20k
