Me too. I went from a VW to my Impala. I'll try to stick with an American car, but more and more domestics are coming out with turbos. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I would love to have the Taurus SHO. 5.3L engine and 300 horses. A lighter more fuel efficient turbo V6 can easily equal that output. Hell non turbo V6's are doing that and more (G37).

Find you an S60R, they're 300hp AWD with a better suspension than our cars. I thought of one of those for my GF, but she doesn't like them.

The '10 GTs should go on closeout since the new V6 is just a fast. lol

Out of the Charger and Challenger, Challenger hands down.

Camaro is just terrible, I don't like a thing about it...

All I know is my next car is going to be cheap.

Definitely do like the s60R, but I loved the current volvo body styling, that they are changing (not sure how I feel about it yet). The R-Designs look so classy.

The STS-V's use a supercharged version, producing 469hp and 439tq. I watched a motortrend review and they ran the quarter at 109mph, so it's got plenty of get up and go right out the gate, and a company called D3 has all sorts of upgrades for it.
