Should I just buy a touring and save $20k?

You're worried about depreciation, buy a Honda. But be prepared to be bored.

Unless you're really strapped for cash, the extra $100/month for an SRT-8 will be worth it.

That is the critical point. They're all big, good looking, good handling, luxurious cars (except the Base model.) Engine performance is the main difference. The 250 v6 is perfectly adequate and has very good pickup in the 50 to 70mph range for passing. If jumping off the line extremely quickly is important to you, get the C. Otherwise save your money.

If Bling's your thing -
Go with the base -
The C is money you'll definitely waste

Spend the extra 12K
Pimpin' your ride - your way
OK?
