Tough. I, too, would buy something used such as an Intrigue and baby it.

However, if that wasn't an option, I would probably go Daimler Chrysler. They have one car that I've stumbled onto as a rental which is the Chrysler Sebring hardtop coupe (NOT the convertible). I remember it as being likable and fun to drive. (It doesn't price competitively against better equipped and larger GM midsizes, so you don't see too many around).

The question is a head scratcher.

Hey, Zoomer, nice of you to put up a thread that doesn't deal with sexuality or flirtations with others on the board! :AH-HA_wink:

DaimlerChrysler, of course. I'm a Mopar person.

There's something about that sparkling five-pointed star!

BMW!

oh wait...that's right :P

But seriously...Unless I am buying a vette, a full size truck/SUV, a camaro, or maybe a caddy, then I would give my business elsewhere. Not a lot from GM really appeals to me. I'd buy from Nissan/Infiniti too though. 350Z, or any Infiniti (except Q/QX)

I didn't buy GM last time, but I'm not sure I could deal with the shame of purchasing another Toyota. :rolleyes:

I'd have to go with BMW (well, Mini) first, especially if they offered a longer wheelbase version, then probably Ford, then probably Toyota and Honda. No DCX or Nissans for me.

There is?  :blink:

Yep! I've had no major problems with Chrysler automobiles. I like their "personality" while in motion, the swoopy cab-forward shapes!

I'll take the five-pointed star over a three-pointed star anyday anyway!

Not to mention I love their quirks.

Come on, you know!

Three-pointed star=Mercedes-Benz

DaimlerChrylser is the union of the Three- and Five-pointed stars!

Lol! It's something I've seen Mercedes referred to because of that circle thing with the three points in it.

I'm sorry. A little sarcasm slipped out there. I wish that Chrysler bought Daimler-Benz instead of the other way around!

Then instead of the 300C, they'd have a FWD E-class based on the Concorde...  :lol:

That would rock, wouldn't it?

Actually, the platforms between the two (SLK/Crossfire excepted) are not shared currently. Just similar design. Easy access to parts. Mercedes-Benz's gloating of being all knowing and all superior.

It should be known that LH was engineered to be front- or rear-drive. And, before the merger, Chrysler was going back to rear-drive for its larger cars. They basically would have been Mk. III LH cars.

I honestly feel more good could have come from the purchase being arranged in the opposite manner.

I think I'd rather be stuck with a Hyundai Excel deathtrap than a Toyota.
