Car shopping - geezer glide time

A coworker has a Lexus LS400. Everytime I ride it in it I am amazed. It's the car Mercedes should build LOL

Have you driven a new Mustang, base suspension. Fun to drive, but you can also drive it 300 miles with the top down on the freeway and not feel beat up.

I sat in a new Charger recently with the Pentastar and some bells and whistles. It felt great in there. Comfy seats, great steering wheel, and lots of toys, not to mention it's just great looking in there. That's on my list for my next car. I drive a lot of highway miles, and I think I want something big and comfortable next time instead of an econobox. I saw a V6 model in silver with a blacked out grille this morning on my commute that just looked downright evil, and I can see myself behind the wheel of that car. I have other toys that should be up and running, so the lack of Hemi power will be satiated elsewhere.

Driving it may ruin the experience, but whatever.

I liked my 99 Grand Marquis enough that I would definitely consider a 05+ Town Car.

I was able to get 27mpg hwy fairly easily with the 2.73 rear end.

Maybe I just have low standards but I thought the Grand Marquis was fun, even with the "anemic" non-PI motor.

Not quite Geezer Mobiles, but easier on the joints than a Miata.

May get? The SS is already on the market.

ATS?

3 cars not to own once the warranty runs out.

Are we really going to go through this again?

My C30 has been as reliable as the sun rise since I got it. 5 years and 63k miles. The only issue I've ever had is the 'auto' start where you press the clutch then turn and release the key, that's always been flaky since day one. Now I just turn the key and have to hold it for .75 of a second, oh the hardship. Love the car, would recomend it to anyone.

I don't consider myself an 'old geezer' but this car has an amaing ride Vs handling balance. No, it's no going to get you that last 1/10000000000000000000000000000th of a second on an autocross, but unlike a Mazdaspeed 3, 250Z, STi etc etc you don't need a chiropractor after running over a quater on the road.
