Nice CTS. I went the fuel efficiency route and bought the CRUZE the other day looking at gas price by the summer. The CRUZE will be my first high MPG car to go along with the other 4 V8s and the wife's G35. The CRUZE is the perfect car for my kids to commute to schools.

Lightly used '09 G8 if you can find 'em (which you can if you try). Usually run high 20K range for one with under 10K miles but got DAYUM if they ain't fun. Especially the A6 slap stick GTs.

Had too much fun with one of those.

Taurus are god awful expensive even with Z plan. Wanted something like 500/mo on a lease for a SEL AWD, trim and a half below a SHO. CTS would have been the same. Sucks..

Used lincoln or caddi are good options. The Fusion is a really nice car when well optioned, so is the malibu. Best thing to do is just spend a few days going to every dealership and test driving all you can get your hands on. Never know until you drive 'em.

Thanks all, see post 56 with what we bought.

We test drove BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Genesis, and a few others. We still liked the CTS best.

I would look into a charger. They have a pretty big fanbase, and can the interior to promote your business
