Two of my faves on that list would be the G35 and the S2k. Both are beautiful cars with aftermarket support, made by good companies. But if you are concerned about trunk space in the G35 than the S2k is no better. You could have an s2k as a daily driver and it fares well, but I would want something more practical for every day, and bring out the convertible on the weekends. They just upped the displacement and made the car less twitchy... a little more refined, very nice. As far as the STi, which is also a great machine... theres no question that its the best handling and most powerful of the bunch - but its more of a "hairy chested testosterone infused economy car" as one reviewer put it. You won't find any luxury there.
If you are going to stay with one car, I would say the Acura. It isn't #1 in any category but its a great all-rounder. Incredible reliability, decent room, comfortable ride. Not slow by any means. Some aftermarket support. It will hold its value very well. Since they've just canned the CL I'm sure you can find it for a good price.
