    With a somewhat realistic amount of money (read: no supercars or Rolls-Royces) I would buy a 09 Lincoln Town Car in Black. Quiet, Comfortable, Powerful and the last full size, rear wheel drive, body-on-frame car made in North America. Sure the average Town Car owner is probably close to 50+ years older than me but they are onto something.

      The question (for me anyway) needs a price point to help answer. I know that this year I would like to get a Kia Rio5 for a daily driver. Money no object car would be an Aston Martin Vantage. Would love to get a Volvo 122 also. And of course another (non-rusty) Festiva.

          Same goes here. Even if i hit the lottery this week, i would not buy a new car,

            The C30 is the 1st Volvo I've seen that I'd even consider.

            Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

              Q: On that Iranian Festiva, what the heck is a "Front Power Bring" on the accessories list???

                    Hey Jim, I used to live right across the river from the big Gulf Research Lab in Harmar, PA, right near the turnpike. I remember they had a GIANT neon Gulf sign in the Gulf colors, that would flash on and off in sequence. Very cool. I had thought about making my Festy in Gulf colors.

                      ooohh, I wonder if that sign would fit in the back of my Festy...

                      Ever seen the Le Mans, starring Steve McQueen? Watch that, then you'll know why I want a GT in those colors!
