It's been a while since I visited this thread. That GrandAm is actually gorgeous! I can only imagine that exact car selling like hotcakes at a lumberjack convention.

You should seriously look at the Mazda 6 2.3 AWD Estate.

Don't be put off by the Estate bit, these cars look fast and sexy.

Check out the specs here on the Irish site:

And Id still rather have the B4

Maybe a cross between a Legacy and an IS300/Altezza.

Joe, I looked...
"acceleration 0-100 km/h (secs): 12.3"

That's anything but sporty. I had an early model Trooper that was faster than that.

By golly! That's the exact GrandAm I was drooling over earlier. I wonder how much Saab will get for the EXACT car?

Nissan Murano. For an SUV, it looks fast. It's got the 245-HP 3.5 liter V6 and comes with all-wheel drive and a CVT.

Or Infiniti's equivalent (I forget what they call it) with a V8.

My Justy is just as fast!

There is no Infinity equivalent...they're not based upon the same platform.

Yeah I can see that....I wonder what would hapen if I put my SVX in a garage with my friends Corrado, dimmed the lights, lit some candles, and played some Marvin Gaye, and let nature take its course.

Squarer head lites and a pop up spoiler. Maybe A G ladder supercharger too.
