Yea, I know. I was just teasing. Last year started out pretty slowly, but ended very well. Even this January was the best for Mazda in years.

why not? why should my conceptions of what is best influence other people's conceptions of what is best? if i really wanted to i could tailor it so that your answer is almost pre-determined. i could say "best, in terms of innoculating the driver from the road" in which case it is the camry. or, "best sporty midsized sedan" which is the 6, or, "best at falling apart before you get it out the door" which is the taurus and the hyundai in a toss up

Lame poll. Worthless w/o stating some criteria.

Accord/Camry for reliability/build quality/resale value
Mazda 6/Altima for performance/handling
GM sedans for low prices/incentives/rebates

I vote Accord/Camry and Maxima if you want performance with reliability.

maxima is too luxury for the poll. that would go in with "max, tl, g35, es330, 328, cheapo C class" etc

It's a tough call between the accord and the 6...but I'd go with the accord, since I like the redesigned body style.

The new Accord is the ugliest car that Honda ever built. Hideous, bloated, ugly, fat, round, nasty... :disgust:

The 6 is a Mazda. I suppose it looks and performs nice but don't expect the reliability and resale to blow you away.

I fail to understand how a Maxima was "too luxury" for this poll, but the Passat was included? :confused:

I this just opinion or is there an actual price range involved here?

I voted for the Legacy, thinking in terms of the upcoming new 2005 model, but will be up there with the Maxima/Passat, etc....

elsewise vw doesn't have an entrance. i thought that i should have put passat 1.8T there tho.

the base legacy (not the STi powered model) will be more in line with altima, accord, etc.
