I kinda want the new 3.6 liter Fusion/Milan to come out for 2008, however.. I'll probably go with a Milan at this point. They aren't cheap for the good models though, but they are solid cars as far as I can tell.
The only next step up is the Acura TL for $10k more.
My nephew just got a new Milan. With the zero percent financing and the 72 month payment plan it was hard for a young person to pass up. He really likes it. If you need a Friends/Family discount, email me privately. We have a few left.
