Yes, it has good pickup, a tight suspension, and with all the goodies you can get like GPS, heated seats etc, it is quite a great car.
I have tried to talk my wife into trading her car in for one, but it's so expensive.

I have a fully loaded 05 GMC Sierra ex cab z-71...I love that truck! It was only 34k.

Ya, it's a good truck and I like it alot. It's like a town car riding down the road and the service at Lincoln is very good.

Wow, it's amazing how expensive vehicles have gotten!
I have looked at several vehicles for my wife...an Infiniti g-35 coupe and sedan. BMW 330 (06), or BMW 328 / 335 (07). Mercedes C class (starts low but after you add options, becomes unaffordable). Dodge Charger RT. Cadillac CTS. Volvo S40. Audi A-4.
It seems like all the decent cars cost 35k and up.
I really like the BMW and the Infiniti, but we need more money in the budget to pull it off. We already pay $450 a month for my truck, $365 a month for her car, and my motorcycle is nearly paid off.

For value, you can't really beat a Honda, IMO. They drive great, are reliable, fuel efficient, and relatively cheap. You can get one decked out for under 25K.

I'm also impressed with Hyundai recently. They could represent a challenge to Honda.

I wouldn't mind picking up a subaru WRX, alot fun to drive if you can get over the "fast and furious look".

I'd go with one of these:

*Mustang GT with money left over to build up the engine or a Shelby (under $50K with a trade-in)
*Chrysler 300 with a HEMI and AWD
*Charger with a HEMI
*Magnum with a HEMI and AWD
*Pontiac Grand Prix GXP
*Cadillac CTS, STS, DTS
*Buick Lucerne or Lacrosse
*Mercury Milan, Montego Grand Marquis
*Ford Five Hundred, Crown Victoria
*Lincoln MKZ, Town Car
