2. 2010+ Lincoln MKT w/ 3.5L SHO motor.

I understand the mkt wasn't on the list but a part of me says having 2 kids now and (hopefully 2 more within 5 years from now) that I should consider a family hauler rather than a sport sedan that no one beside me can drive, but another part of me misses the hell out of a manual car.

Oh either way the Monte I will keep obviously till that 1 million marker hits but my other ride the M5 will be posted up for sale once I aquire a new DD. ( the M5 I bought more as a status symbol at the time but I'm past that senseless phase of my life, I've only managed to put 1200 miles on it since I bought it)

Anyways what do you guys think? pursue my wants as a singular person or as a daddy?
Honestly if I were you I would get the Pontiac g8 or the Chevy SS, but since you're choosing between those two I would NOT choose the Lincoln. If I were you and I had to pick on the list of those cars my third pick would be the Infiniti. If you're set between those two get the Infiniti for sure. They're great cars.
