What do you think is a NICE sedan in todays market?

The wife and I are back in the market for a 4 door car. We like cars with style.

We are leaning towards a 2008 CTS but it is hard to find a low mile / optioned CTS for under 25k. We like to stay in the 22k and under. 2008 C230 and 2008 330i are okay but again over 25k.

We do not like the Taurus, G6, G8 (no 8s for us we have two)

Any suggestions?

The Cruze is by far one of the nicest sedans for a low price around IMO.

The new Taurus SHO is nice as they come with AWD, a twin turbo DI v-6
and lots of room. I love mine its a solid 12 sec. car and get 27-27 mpg hwy.

You'll be able to pull off a 07 GS350 for 23-24k?
There's also the IS350?
G37 Sedan
C300(W204 chassis is just plain awesome).....

Also BMW 530i ..The 535's will be a bit more
or there's the 335i(hit or miss)
The more dependable 328 and 330i as well too.

I traded a CTS for the Camaro. If I was in the market for a 4dr again without a doubt it would be another CTS, they are very nice cars.

I know you don't want a G8. I have a custom Buick Lucerne thats quite nice.
Its got about 3500 miles. I can send you pictures if your interested.

I also have a Lincoln MKT that is super low miles (6500). and is a mild custom
that was in the Ford booth at SEMA 2009 . Its available now too. Nicest driving and quietest car I have ever driven.

A couple year old Grand Prix with a 3800 would make a nice used Sedan. Nice and sporty inside, most have real nice stereos, nice leather buckets and console shift. If you get it from a GM dealer, get one that is Certified Used and it will have a real nice warranty. The 3800 engines will run forever and get great mileage.

I am in the same boat and have been looking at the CTS (2008 and newer for the new body style) but is now looking at something slightly larger (Not by much) STS (2005 and newer). Test drove a 2006 STS low miles V6 and it was very nice. Some of them can be had with a Northstar 4.6L V8 and magnetic ride.
