If you have to pick one, which would it be?

IS, love the interior (first time I'm saying that about an IS). Friend of mine got an is350 with the fsport pack, silver/red. Very nice car. Cls imo looks better but my money will go to the IS. Like others I'd deeply consider the ats.

I'd take the ATS as well - interior isn't as nice but love the exterior and ride/performance. Great little car!

Both are lookers. Would have to drive each one and go from there. Leasing or buying?

With all the negative comments about German built cars on here lately I would not think twice: Lexus.

Buying new... .
Merc to appear you are keeping up with the Jones'
BMW to shoot the artificial crap with artificial friends.
Lexus to drive past them Germans with reliability and actually get chicks to look at your ride
Caddy to tell everyone, God Bless America and I've decided to be resposible for once in my life. But in actuality, the Lexus might be the most responsible decision out of them all.
I'm undecided about 4cylinder turbos in any of these cars. GM had some issues early on with DI motors. I'm not sure the reliability is there yet with GM and DI but time will tell.
Toyota is finally playing with 4cylinder turbos again. It will eventually make it into a IS I'd think.

CLA looks good. Not sure about a FWD Mercedes though. Car and Driver says the transmission isn't so great. New styling of the IS looks awful to me. In short, BMW 3 series even though I think they are losing their edge.
