Specialized Tarmac Elite
2 years after I started cycling, I finally joined the crowd by getting a carbon fibre bike late in 2011 - my advice is to always buy a bike around September, bike shops take delivery of next years bikes, and suddenly this years bikes potentially get heavily discounted. Worked for me!
I chose a Specialized Tarmac Elite SL2. It's fast, enjoyable to ride, comfortable, better at smoothing out the minor bumps (compared to the Allez and Focus Variado that I have also ridden) but its not so great if you hit a big hole. Must stop doing that!
