Mom needs help choosing a car

The lease on the honda is up this week. SO of course i suggested the legacy 2.5 GT. She thinks i only said it because im a subaru fanatic . I keep telling her how great the car is. AWD is a must!! So my question is...what other cars are out there. I think suv's are out of the equation. Its gonna be down to sedans. 30k price range is what she's shooting for. Something in that area. I know the new lexus IS250 has AWD but i dont know when the 2006 model is being released. Thanks in advance.

No bimmers with AWD except for the SUV's so that is out of the question. Allready have a C32 AMG in the driveway so i dont think she wants another merc. I can see alot of fights and arguements comin up thursday when we go shopping .

Remember that the BMW and Audi systems are 4wd, not AWD.

May I suggest a Forester?

G35x

Be sure to look at the Infiniti G35X. It's AWD (not 4WD), base is in your stated price range. Infiniti's web site
