New Car ??

I was getting my car insurance renewed today, I called the company asking if the recent Windscreen claim would affect my No Claims Bonus and they said no. So I get my 50% off and covered my car for another year. Soon have to renew road tax and all that again. I got me a parking slot for Dec at my office so I guess I will be driving to work for that month and will be $170 poorer sob sob ..... :( The funny thing is that after I renewed my Insurance, the Honda Agent (from about 3/4 years ago) SMS me and told me that he has made a check and that my car can be sold already as the sale of the car would exceed my loan amount and asked me if I am interested in getting a new car. hhhmmm ... that is really tempting but not sure which brand/model should I get as I have not really been hunting for a car. Any help folks ? Probably a simple family car would be what I would be looking for, but I have always liked the Lexus model, but that's way way over my budget.
