Go around to all the dealers and test drive them all. Buy the one you fall in love with. What else do you need to know?
That is a good idea. I never knew I could do that .

What's wrong with your 2010 Accord?

You should seriously consider getting a diesel if you drive that much, unless it's stop and go traffic the whole way. Mercedes and Audi both have good diesels.

so my previous post should be your best options options:

1. E350 Bluetec
2. Audi 6 TDI
3. BMW 525d
4. Passat TDI - not in luxury but @ 1/2 price while very capable

Mercedes, I absolutely love mine. I also have a Cadillac and it really cannot compare. They are both very different.

Yeah if the OP is going to trade in their 2010 Honda Accord and drives that much on the FWY commuting then I would suggest looking at a 2012 and up VW Passat TDI 2.0 Clean Diesel would be the way to go IMO

The Volkswagen Passat won the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year. The 2013 Passat TDI sets new Guinness World Record for fuel economy under the Non-Hybrid car category. It achieved a fuel consumption of only 3.02 liter on 100 Kilometers (77.99 mpg).

Not sure if i'll put that much money in a car just to put 840 miles a week on it. I mean you can, I'm sure many people do but that's a lot of driving. Why not just trade in your 2010 Honda accord for a new one .

GS is my vote. It's really nice, redesigned, and cheaper to maintain than most other cars.
