I am thinking of buying a new car.

I will get a four wheel drive of sorts, to combat the Chicago winter.

I find the discussions on this board fascinating.
Acura RL vs. Audi A6 vs. BMW 5-Series vs. Jaguar S-Type vs. Lexus GS - Forums

I drove the Volvo s80 this morning. The Volvo drives OK, but feels tacky compared to the finish of the Lexus or Infiniti.
Last week I drove the new Acura RL. It has great electronic gizmos, but I am underwhelmed by its feel on the road and its bland looks.
