Cars that I shopped for; I'm leaving out the Charger and the Evo because they would throw off the poll too much.

TL FTW!
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

Hmmm.  I'm not really sure the S40 or TSX are even 'entry' luxury.  Just seem like mainstream cars to me.

I would take the C-Class.

Tough call. Powertrain-wise, I'd want the CTS more than any other. For the complete package?

Pains me to say it, but I think I'd lean toward a TSX. Really nice car. If they sold them here as Accord, offered a less powerful engine and slashed the price to keep it in line with other mid-sizers I'd by buy one on the spot, I think. Especially if it was a wagon.

TL
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

I'd be with him, but I couldn't vote TSX since I like the Passat better.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

sweet! the Volvo was my second choice. I imagine the T5 engine with the manual trans would be a killer combo :rockon:

I'm not much of a fan of any of these. But if it was my money it would be the TSX.

Because I can't picture Mark driving down Deerfoot Trail (highway running through Calgary) in a Honda station wagon picking his nose.
