if i had kids, or hauled a bunch of stuff around, the FXT would no doubt be the one i chose. its a ridiculous value for what you get.
I love driving the FXT, but I couldn't replace the svx with it. It's the wife's car, it makes sense to have it with the cargo and baby room and she won't drive a wagon. (don't tell her it is a jacked up wagon - she still thinks it's an suv)
