ANyone other suggestion or comments?

What do you think about CTS-awd? US car maker in trouble, could I find some deal on it? Hows cadillac reliability on the long term and build quality?

Mercedes benz C230 4MATIC

G35xS or G35x, or the new G37 sedan. But the G37 would be more expensive

Volkswagen GTI or Passat CC

Cts

a Mazdaspeed maybe?

CTS with the razor edge look?,, what do people think about the styling? i like it but hate it sometimes

you could manage to get 08model CTS's for fairly cheap

Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Subaru Impreza WRX perhaps.

is that even considered "sporty"?

cts 3.6 awd...

Does the car have to be new? A lightly used STI or Lancer EVO would fit the bill.

Sti

pontiac G8 GT

e30 m3?

Lancer Ralliart. starts at 32. or a WRX starts at 32 as well. you might even be able to get the 265 with your budget.
