I am looking for a sedan, crossover or SUV that meets the following criteria (listed in order of importance). Please help me find it.
I am looking to spend less than 40k out the door (MSRP could be well above that).
MUST HAVES:
1. Excellent acceleration (no pickup lag or jerky transmission)
2. Excellent handling (this may exclude all Asian cars...)
3. Excellent stereo (at least 400 watts, at least 9 speakers) and acoustics (I have done aftermarket stereos before and I honestly no longer want to deal with that hassle)
4. Sun/moonroof
5. Backup camera
6. Leather
7. Large infotainment display
OPTIONAL (in other words, I would be willing to pay above 40k if the following were available):
8. Lumbar support
9. Heated seats
10. Power trunk/tailgate door

Have you looked at a Jeep Wrangler Sahara with the hardtop option? The only thing it may lack on the stock model is a 9 speaker audio system, but there could be an option to upgrade. The standard audio system has 6 speakers. The Jeep has a standard 285 HP V6 Pentastar engine, handling is great, it is off-road capable, has a sunroof (as well as being fully convertible - the roof and doors come off as well), a large infotainment display, and a backup camera is an option (IIRC).

The 2016 Honda Accord Touring model (V6) has all of your must haves, and even the optional. You could probably walk out the door with one for a tad under 35K too. Any one of the German sedans will be well over 40K with the same options.

I think you need to narrow down your choices there to at least the type

You're probably the only person on earth who would suggest a Jeep Wrangler to satify someone who wants excellent acceleration and handling.

And this post just made me snicker, then laugh. This is why the vast majority of cars today on the road are so boring. If you think an Accord has excellent acceleration and handling, you're not making manufacturers set the bar very high with this nonsense.

Agreed. Finally a note of wisdom in a response!

I don't know whether this is a worse suggestion than the Jeep Wrangler or not. Either way, it's a ludicrous one. Show me a Ford Explorer that has excellent handling and acceleration, and I'll show you a Ford GT that had an Explorer badge put on it as a joke.

How nice. Here comes a wise man, who bashes everyone's post - and does not make a single wise suggestion relevant to what was asked.
Way to go.

The new ones, they do have good accelleration, other than that, I think their crap. Actually in my line of work, I hate just about every new car, and everything about them, except when the xm, or sirius works. Even the Flex, and Edge has good accelleration.
