I've got retirement going too, but by no means rich. A Car is a status symbol too, now matter how much anyone wishes it wasn't.

speaking of which, i saw a new rolls royce on the road. it was black with tan leather and talk about putting the smack down. the car just screams, "I'm so filthy fucking rich, it's not even funny." that is what you call a fine auto.

Gold plated ford Taurus. Why are you buying new? Why not buy something like a 2003 or 2004 E series instead of a 2006 C series? You cut about 40% off the price just by buying a 2-3 year old car.

good luck on that stock rebound, markets are crashing, US is tanking, housing bubble is popping, nothing but doom and gloom.

you better look into getting a used pinto.

I'm already taken... though I'm not THAT used.

Lessytat,

I spent about 6 months researching that price segment... the equivalent, at least, in Germany. Fuel economoy, Fun-to-drive and 4 doors were my major points.

Sadly, you don't get the IS220d over there, cause that was the result of my research. It swept the floor with the 320, the C220 the A4 1.9, 2.0 AND 2.7 (amazingly)...

Apparently, the IS250AWD is not bad in the fuel economy (for a AWD car that is). I test-drove the normal RWD 250 and it was OK... I t lacks the torque of the Diesel though, but very quiet and a nice ride. It needs the manual gears, though (at least for me, I hate automatics)

Anyway, you cannot trust magazines, this being Germany, every German magazine blaste the IS against the german competition, I drove them all, to make my own mind and that is the ultimate test. That thing has 3 years unlimited warranty, so they are pretty confident.

I absolutely despise Ford Motor Company but, the Mustang GT with it's old school looks is without a doubt the coolest car on the road for the price.

Infiniti G35x

MazdaSpeed 6

or even better, an Audi A4 2.0T with low mileage.
