[QUOTE="Twilight, post: 4063581, member: 582244"] I've always been a Ford guy. I have a '99 Sable with 130,000 miles on it and it still runs like the day I got it (back in '02 with 70k). It did 15.7 in the 1/4 when it was stock (better than the 16.2 Car and Driver had) and beats the EPA fuel mileage estimates (FWIW, those aren't all that accurate). I've maintained it well though. It's great for longer trips and doesn't ruin my back. For my next ride (probably a year from now) I'm thinking of a newer Explorer Sport Trac. If I go with another sedan, I want something stickshift and German. The only GM cars I really liked from the 90s were the 94-96 Impala SS (Caprice-based). I'd easily pimp one of those. Trucks are alright, but I've never been a fan of their styling and WTF is up with their interior materials? (I know they've fixed a lot of those now... the new G8 is pretty sweet.) But I agree, all the American carmakers are really on top of their game right now. [/QUOTE]
