The only real cars out of the bunch, so one of those.

I think some of those tl's has serious tranny issues, could've been the early 00's though.

Personally I don't like older 90's asian imports.. I prefer american around that time (crown vic or something) but it kinda pulls a 360 around the 2000-era when import interiors and build quality skyrocketed while american quality plummeted.

Its funny, sitting in a 2005ish Ford or something, the interiors are so plasticky and rattly and just ******. But jap cars.. soo tight and quality.

Interior is the biggest quality factor in my opinion, if its a cheap **** interior I am not buying it

Yeah, only now (2010+) are american cars starting to get on par with some of the import interior build quality.

I really like the interiors of the new dodges (2012 charger/ram) my boss owned both and they were really nice.. not to mention the hemi power
