I'm planning on buying a new road bike soon, what should I be looking for

I am 6'5", and am looking for a new road/ hybrid bike. I have lots of energy (18 yrs.) and want a bike to get exercise and go places. It needs to be lightweight, and in the 400-500 price range. Do any of you know what kinds of bikes I should look for, either hybrid or road?

I'm planning on going to local bike shops to browse...are there any ways I can avoid paying sticker price, such as having a friend buy a bike with me in the same visit?

Fuji has a few road bikes in that price range. But don't expect much. New bike prices are pretty well set.

I like Giant Iguane , 27 gears, vibrant color like blue, can help you excercise effectively, and can run fast and stable. also good quality.
