I dunno, man. I've been really impressed with Ford lately.
My buddy has a
2011 Harley F-150 which is fantastic, and then there's my mom's '08
Escape Hybrid which is somehow better in the snow than my SVX (thoughtobehonesttheSVXhasneverhadstuddedtires), a bit plasticy but still fantastic.
Also the fully loaded
Volt I looked at is comparable to the F-150 interior.
All these are in the +40k range though, and I haven't really looked at anything else except Subarus and a 2011 Prius which won't get any praise from me here. They were ok.
