Supra badge on FWD car? Come on now. Unless you mean making an all new RWD coupe and calling it a Supra.

Do you know how to drive? A high speed lane change shouldn't be too complicated in any car. You're not driving on the Nurburgring.

I'm looking for a 08 or newer V6 sedan that runs on regular unleaded 87 gas. Trying to stay around $22k. Want something reliable that is easy to do my own maintenance on.


Cars I have considered but decided against.
11-12 Dodge Charger- I didn't like the cheap plastic interior.
08-12 Cadillac CTS- Love the looks but it gets really bad gas mileage and very expensive.

Cars I am considering.
11-12 Hyundai Sonata 2.0Turbo SE or Limited.
11-12 Kia Optima 2.0T EX or SX.
09-12 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 3.8L V6
09-12 Ford Fusion SEL or Sport V6
08-12 Honda Accord
08-12 Toyota Camry
11-12 Nissan Altima V6

Any others you guys and gals can think of or own, that know they are good reliable cars?
if your still into luxary i would go for the hyundai genesis sedan without a question.

but if you could careless the best car on your list is the toyota camry. i recommend the toyota camry v6 SE. very reliable, very sporty with sporty interior, and it has a very luxary looking interior for its price as well. It also comes with paddle shifters and push to start and can run on 87 gas.

the toyota camry se v6 is by far my favorite when taking out the hyundai genesis sedan out from your list

i wish i could have the v6 but i have a 2012 v4 camry se which is great but ill be returning mines since i no longer need a car for the school year.

I've been given most of those as rentals. You're going from the Ultimate driving machine to generic pieces of garbage from generic car companies. A Kia? Yeah, that's the last thing you want running through mind when you have to make a high speed lane change is why the **** did i buy a Kia.

Most of the cars you listed are horribly noisy and don't have great resale value.

The new 328i gets 34 MPG and keeps up with the 335i on the track. Just get one of those. A euro delivered 328i gives you a free trip to Europe to boot.

What you're trying to do is akin to moving out of a high end condo in a luxury building and moving into a mobile home.
i dont think you know what your talking about. nissans , and toyotas have great resale prices porbably at a better rate then a bmw.

i also the new hyunais have good resale as well.

the solara is hideous then again it was based off the 2001 - 2006 camry which also was a hideous car.

toyota should made a camry coupe for the 07 - 11 camry, and a even newer camry coupe for the 2012 camry.
