For my pops..

What up playas. My dad is looking into gettin a new car pretty soon. His 95 Chyrsler LHS is starting to make funny noises and so he asked me to look around for some cars for him. He doesn't want another SUV since he just bought the madge a new Navi. I like these:

Acura TL
Acura RL (ya, more than 30k, but its sick)
Infinity G35 (sedan)
Chrysler 300
Jaguar X-type
Mercedes C240

First so ya guys knows he's trying to stay around the 30k range. Also, he's a big guy so thats why he would want the sedan G35. What do you guys think of the ones i listed? or if there are any other suggestions i'd really want to hear them. He's going to be 58 in January so he'd be into luxury over sportiness.

i think your dad himself should go car shopping around dealers and see what he likes best. everyone is gonna give you many different opinions and cars of what THEY like.

if i were looking for something luxurious, i'd check out acura, bmw, mercedes, lexus, and maybe infiniti. i really like the acura TL, its fully loaded and has everything you can think of basically. but the price range is pretty high.

TL or RL (300 hp and AWD is a great thing.) I'm a Honda fan and I know he'll enjoy either one as a daily driver.

Chyrsler 300 if he's in it just for the looks or even the 300C if he wants the hemi. Good looks and performance.

G35 is pretty big inside, so if G35 is not big enough then C240 and X-Type will definately not be his car. Maybe get a 300 or TL.
