I don't know if I want another volvo..
I have an S70 T5. it hauls a$$. mine is the high pressure turbo version, and it has a cat back exhaust on it. it's probably pushing 250-260hp and it is only about 3200-3300lbs... lots of torque... and lots of torque steer.. 
I used to have a volvo s60R that was majorly modded and ran with E46 M3s in drags and on a track. sold that car b/c it had too many maintenance issues.

So...let me see if I got this...you already have 2 "toys", your wife has an SUV, and you're going to buy yourself another "toy"? So that's 3 toys for you and none for your wife? Hardly seems fair...

Now that "We the People" own GM, just put in for a company car. Just avoid Pontiacs and Saturns. Maybe the new Caddy station wagon.

If you're thinking long-term, you've already hit the nail on the head with Acura. (Lexus would be good too, but it looks like you'd be in the ES350 range, which is ugly -seeing as how an IS is too small.)
It's funny, my (twin) brother has a TL Type-S and I have a 330i. I feel like I ride high up in a TL. The BMW feels lower and is obviously much more sporty.
What about an 02-03ish M5?

I agree with yellowbox... just go drive an Audi. I bought an A6, and I'm loving it!
Different experience than the Box, but for a DD, it's the ticket for me.

Not an Audi, but a BMW? You can't really suggest that, considering reliability and maintenance costs, with a straight face, can you?
