Congrats! I guess this means the Fit is gone then 
No way, I bet he went for the sedan & premium sport package.
That or he did a total flip and went with a C230

lol actually to save on fuel costs, my dad and I are swapping cars, so the Fit stays in the family and I have a G35x for sale 
Close guesses, but nothing hit the mark. It was a tough decision between the Lexus IS250, BMW328xi, Audi A4, and Mercedes C300. In the end though I ended up with...
a Mercedes C350 4MATIC with Premium Package, so its pretty much fully loaded sans leather; Calcite White with ARTICO Black Interior. Factory ordered so it should be here in June! Until then, I just gotta finish up my studies, then go on a trip to Europe, and start my job!
Leasing turned out to save me much more money, so I'm only putting $10,000 down and making ~$550 payments for 39 months before I decide if I want to keep it. Keep in mind this is all in CAD

Yeah job is still good. Just waiting on my stock options package this week and I'm all set.
Thanks guys, I seriously had the hardest time with this, I flipped back and forth between cars for a good couple of weeks. The BMW face lift on the sedan made it look much better, and I was ALMOST sold on it after going to BMW Gallery to check it out. First time I ever got service there. Before that, I was almost sold on the IS250 because of its price and F-Sport line. But the C just looks sooo much better than those. The interior is top notch too. Only other car that looks just as good is the A4, but the residual value isn't as good as the BMW or the C Class. In the end, luxury, comfort, and all round driving characteristics came out on top. I couldn't wait for the 2010, woulda pushed delivery until August.
