i mentioned the toyota avalon because it was made in america, even though the management was in tokyo. it was toyota's best emulation of an all-american buick. i still miss that car, it was library-quiet, rode smoothly like an old buick but handled like a new mercedes. it had 6-passenger room and very comfortable seating, and enough legroom/headroom for a 6'3" long-legged yank sitting both in front and in back. i have not found a single american car that could equal it in every respect. the buick park avenue came close, though. i have a real affection for cars that are roomy, quiet, serene, and have absorbently soft suspensions that filter out all the road bumps.
Yeah, I was wondering why you listed a Toyota. I didn't know that about the Avalon.
As for quiet, roomy, and an over all easy ride, the Taurus SE is just that. Smooooth ride, PERFECT shocks and suspension, barely hear a hum in the engine, just a really good car. Not a love magnet, but I have a lot of respect for it.
You know, as badass as a Mustang is, I never really thought that much of them. They ride too hard.
