Perhaps not the most exotic idea, but I am pretty happy with my V6 RAV4. 269 hp, and gets 26-30 mpg highway. And she really goes when you step in it, I have occasionally engaged in some freeway on-ramp races :bgwb: Definitely not an off-roader, but the AWD really works in the snow. Tows 3500 pounds if you are so inclined.
HA! so funny that this thread has been started. Love all of you! I am not quite sure what I want, but am so glad you all are chipping in your opinions! :flower:
You can't really think this...

looks even remotely as cool as this...

The Baja is a unique ride... but it's a 4-door, plastic-clad, swollen people and gear hauler. The Brat was a 2-door 4x4 sporty car. Way cooler!
You could save a lot of time and money here -

Wow, lots of Subie love here. I won't complain with that. ;)
Speaking of the WRX, the 2011 is rolling out starting next month and it's styling has changed. Widebody is back on it and it is based at 265hp, and of course, AWD standard. Right up your alley and is a good fit next to a VX.

I would recommend the STi, but it is a tad bit more than $25'ish. I have an '09 STi hatch and LOVE it to death. GREAT in snow too.... I can vouch for that after this passed Mid-Atlantic snowpocolypse. :bgwb:
And the sky's the limit if you like to "tweak". Naw'mean. ;)

But you'd have to get a 2008 model to get down to $25K...
Yeah! You can read all about it right here.
