Bah, FWD luxury cars...
Out of these, give me the Acura TL. 270hp, pretty nice interior, tons of standard features, all at an excellent price. The way I see it, its the only real FWD competition for the 3-Series, G35, IS300 and A4 Quattro. For $35,000, you can get a 6-Speed manual tranny, Navigation, "performance summer tires", leather, HIDs, and all sorts of other goodies. FWD kinda ruins the car if you wanted to call it a "sports-sedan" but for a good ol' luxury car, its pretty damn good.
-All real Audis have Quattro, I would never consider one without it.
-Lincoln... they should stick to limos
-Volvo, Saab, meh
-Jaguar, based on the Mondeo isn't it? And no, it handles nothing like a 3-series, nor a G35, IS300, or A4.
