I would get a g37x or used g35/7x.

My 07 g35x with all seasons drove better than my 2004 and 2011 fx 35s, BMW 335x and jeep wrangler rubicon.

By far the best winter car, I used to blast past everyone up hills. Being from Toronto and having a cottage in Innisfil, I have used it in the same conditions you will.

+1 on the G37x sedan..

I wouldn't get the mb. They aren't very reliable

IS250
- Slow (especially since you're getting Auto tranny)
- No space in the rear seats
- more available & cheaper parts (aftermarket, and OEM)

C300
- Looks better
- More power, and I feel it handles a little better vs the Lexus
- "looks" higher class vs the lexus

I've had both, but in RWD\Manual...
so, winters wasn't my strong season..

Neither. For that kind of money, go with one of these:

i would get C300 just cuz it looks way better IMHO

F-150 4X4 or similar. C'mon, get something that can do some work for you and get you where you wanna go!

your cottage is in innisfil!!! lol my parents live near the point.

IMO I would also go with the g35/37x sedan I have here terrible reviews from owners of IS 250's and as for the c300 I just wouldnt want to have to deal with the MB dealer in my area.... Plus I think in the long run the MB would cost you more to maintain then the infinity.

I also herd on newer MB that an oil change has to be done by a shop because there engines are pressurized! So you need a special machine to set it back to normal pressure. Not sure if this is true but if so I would stay away for that reason alone! But I guess people who own Mercedes don't tend to do there own work to the vehicle.

Did we just agree on something?

I like the Merc over the Lexus but I'm with Pharm... STi!

once again get the wrx sti sedan !!!!! Turbo + awd ftw

Wrx is a completely different class of vehicle though. To me it sounds like jazz is looking for something more of luxury sedan as a winter car....
