New Car Shopping...

Ok so It's that time again! New Car Time! My Lease is Up in 7 or so Months and I have NO Idea what I want, so I have narrowed it down, listed below

2008 Volvo C70 230hp Convertable
2007.5 VW Toureg V8 (pending test drive)
2008 BMW X5 3.5si (Pending Lease Rates because the current rates are WAY overpriced compared to what I Pay Now, their in RR Sport Territory!)
2008 Range Rover Sport HSE with Luxury/Heated Accessories Package (looking on lease Trader as I cannot afford the new new one)
2008 BMW 335i/535I (depends on lease rates but I refuse to pay over 600.00 a month for a 3 series!)

Input?

Basically, I LOVE LOVE the new X5, but if it's going to continue to be 300+ more expensive to lease a month then my current X5, I don't feel it's worth it and if the Toureg can do that for less money and a V8, I'm not sure what, the Porsche is out because of the expensive upkeep and the Q7 is horrifically ugly

Do NOT get the Volvo. I hear it drives terribly. I've never driven a Volvo I liked, and my mom's '04 XC70 is one of the few cars I've driven that I really did NOT enjoy driving. I say go for a 335i or an Audi A5.
