If you can get a really good deal like Jet, the LS might not be bad. But comparably in that price range, it'd be far from my first choice.

Test out a Volvo S60 T5 AWD, that would be my first choice hands down.

It does seem like a decent car. I Found one for less than 15k w/ 50k miles on it. Not a bad deal but I don't know anything about volvo ;) Are they expensive to fix? I'm sure getting an AWD turbo again but newer.. insurance would love me.

So they are about as IFFY as a lincoln LS being ford and all? I have never been a ford fan.

I found 2 more possible cars. One is not hard to find, the other is.

newer model pontiac bonneville super charged or w/e. Haven't looked into it yet.

2nd is a 2003 honda Accord. The difference between this beast and other hondas is this one is a 3.0 iVtech 6 speed manual coupe. That model is very hard to find for the price im looking for. But it is rated at 25/30 MPG and has 240 hp which is not bad at all ;)

I get at least 29mpg on the highway with my '01 GTP and have done as well as 34mpg. My car is 100% stock so I'd be curious to see what kind of milage CRAIG gets with his modified GTP.

SSEi bonneville is the same shit as a grand prix, different chassis mostly right?

That I do not know. I know that there are common parts on the supercharged Regal GS as well.

The LS is in a whole different class than a GTP or bonneville. They are good cars, just very different. My girlfriend has a 99 GTP and she won't even drive it anymore since driving the Lincoln.

I agree. I would take an LS over a Bonneville/Grand Prix/Regal without question.

iVTEC is the proper spelling ;)

My friend has a '06 V6 6-speed and its a really nice car, decently quick, comfortable, and great interior layout/design. I'm not sure how it compares to the '03, but Accords always seem to be class-leading. Volvo makes some pretty good cars, so like Steve said, it would be worth a look.
