What new car 2 get?

I'm looking far a new car. It needs to be a sedan with good perfromance, good looks, and a comfy highway cruiser, and at least some kind of aftermarket. I have narrowed it down, but i am open to any suggestions.

My top pick is a SVT contour. Some people might hate on me but i dont care. It has everything i'm looking for, plus its unique, and most of them were well cared for by their owners.

Pics if u dont know.



Or a ~2000 maxima. Will cost a little more, but will have better reliability, and a larger aftermarket. But i see a million every day.

I'll still have the vic to go around town in, but i need more space for the longer trips i make.

What do you sugest?

I used to have a contour-based v6 mercury mystique, and I loved it until I destroyed it.

maxima is awesome. go import so it lasts forever. american cars just dont last. every american car owner says their cars are ok but they all have them in the garage every month, no lie.

off-leased v6 passat?

a lot of people are going to rag on it for being a VW, but i'm willing to bet most have never driven one.

My little brother has one and it was quite the performer and was comfortable as hell.
