Congrats Steve! That's great news, brother.

Best of luck with the search. Sounds like you've already been given plenty of options for fun 4-doors. Maybe consider an RS4 too. I love the way they sound.

Your wife has a 5-series no? Can she drive manual ( if thats what your gonna get )? Why not just use the BMW when you need 4 seats and wife can use other car if needed.

I have three kids now, so I'v done this dance a few times now...

In our house, wifey is the kid hauler as she stays at home with the kids. In all honesty, I can prolly count on one hand how many times I've had the kids in my car. We always take the wife's suv when we go out with kids.

If this fits your scenario also, maybe a 2 door car would work just fine.

Audi S5 or RS5?

looks like it's going to be a CTS-V. Finalizing the deal now.

Great choice. If I were cross-shopping the CTS-V against the current gen M5, I'd lean that way too.

The deal just worked out better on the Benz. I'm not really a domestic kind of guy anyway. Super cool car, but I had the feeling it never would have really fit right.

I'll try to snap some pics later. It is silver on black. No mods planned for now, just window tint.
