I want to get a new car. I figured I don't want another SUV because of gas consumption, but I still wanted something big enough that I could haul around stuff in case I needed too. I also wanted an all-wheel drive car just because I like the feeling of having that added stability and control. There aren't many car manufacturers out there that make all-wheel drive cars so my choices were somewhat limited. I have narrowed down my picks to the following though:
The Audi A6 Avant.

It's a stationwagon so it's got the room I want, plus it has all-wheel drive. In addition it's sporty; Stationwagons seem sportier than normal sedans. The A6 also has reasonable gas economy, and it's an Audi so it's a pretty darn nice car. I'm not sure if I could afford something like this, but I'll keep it on the backburner.

The other car I had in mind is very similar to the A6 but a much cheaper alternative:
The Subuaru Outback 2.5XT

I like this car for many of the same reasons as the Audi, but it's about $20k cheaper. I really would love to get the Audi, but I'll probably end up getting the Subaru just because it's cheaper.

Update:

I found another car that has piqued my interest. It's another Audi but cheaper than the Audi A6 Avant:
The Audi A3 Sportback

Spiffy!
