So I'm in the market for a new car, and I can't decide on what to get. I have a decent sized dog, and the utility of an SUV/wagon is very nice. I also like to go fast sometimes, so I want something sporty, and I hate FWD with a passion. Here's a few choices I've narrowed down that can be had for like $20k. If you have a suggestion for something I've forgotten, or have a comment on them, I'd love to hear it.

Dodge Magnum SRT-8: These are nice overall, but the fuel economy isn't the greatest.

Volvo V70R: AWD is nice to have, and the interior is phenominal. A bit pricey for the mileage though.

Saab Sportcombi Aero/Turbo X: Again a nice choice, but a bit expensive atm. Would need to wait for depreciation to hit it better. Angry with GM.

Cadillac SRX V8: I'm angry with GM. Slower, but gets the panoramic moonroof. Interior is iffy.

Audi S4 Avant: The best possible option, but very expensive. Maybe in a year or something.

BMW X3: Pano roof, but kinda girly... and not very fast... But maybe I could mod it to be pretty good?
