Default Need new car for the business/woman

My wife's landcruiser lease ends in about 2 months, so we need a replacement. This time we are sticking in the $450 max lease price range. Any opinions? MDX is about $585..blaaaa

A4 quattro avant?
WRX Wagon (my choice...mods)
Used Lexus RX300?
Used BMW of some sort.?

I need something that has at least a little class (business vehicle) but isn't going to cost too much (I have to spend all of the $ on myself, so I dont want to blow too much corn on this thing)



Thanks for any input.

Scot

The WRX wagon is not a bad idea,

what about the Subaru Forrester (If that's how its spelled)

When I lived near asheville ,I knew about 5 people with the Subaru's and had no complaints.

I like Acura and the MDX, but do you really want to feed the SUV frenzy? How about a nice Accord or even better, a TL type S.

Your price range is right on for a TL Type S.
You can save a few hundred bucks a year if you just get the TL.
Can your business pay for mods? Get comptech headers and springs!!
Better yet, go to a dealer who is willing to install headers and springs for you, and lease the modded car.

Yea, I agree, I think the Acura TL Type S is a good car for a business man/woman. It's smooth and good looking ride which fits your price range. It's also not excessively overpriced for what you get.

I think Scot needs more room than a TL-S can provide, he has to boys to lug around to boy scouts, soccer practice, etc. Hence the choice of a wagon or SUV listed above.

How about the Infiniti QX4? That will be the SUV of choice for me once the lease on my 4 Runner runs out.
