Out of those cars, I'd get the Benz.

BMWs are becoming way too common. I see more of them than I see Civics.

Not a big fan of the IS-F. Can't really pin-point it, but it just doesn't look like a high-end car to me.

i take it you haven't sat in/driven one. its definitely a high-end car. although it's the same body style as the is350, the car in person is very aggressive. i think they have so many subtle changes here and there that makes it hard to put your finger on exactly what makes it look high-end. the grill, big wheels, more angular front, bigger hood, i dunno. to me it looked more high-end than the m6. havent really sat in or driven the benz so i cant say. but i'd pick the is-f over the m6.

I've sat in them before. Haven't driven it though.

That's probably it. To me, it looks like a modified IS. Never been an IS fan as they look like modified Civics.

LOL yeah i love the M6, but to be honest im leaning more towards the IS-F..i would think that it would be cheaper to maintain.. it had the best gas mileage and well it looks great but its not yelling steal me.. i like that hahaha

Sell it before the warranty is up.

Otherwise, buy a Civic.

Lexas is so nice. Its got a young person look to it. not many people have it. Its fast.. and its just CLEAAAN

BMW you cant really go wrong with. My dad will kill for the m6. but like someone said up top everyone has a bmw. convertible is a big plusss tho. espically if your living where its warm

C class AMG i wouldnt get now. it seems like a car that i would get when i'm older and want a nice smoooth ride, but still want the power. although it is nice.

Personally right now in life i would get the IS-F but thats because i'm single and a college student. Maybe if i was married with kids my perspective would change.

ALL CLEAN CARS THO!!!!!
