If you ask me that a few months ago, I would say another Accord. I don't like how the 2011 looks.

As much as I think Hyundai/Kia is looking good, I may just sit out and hope for the next Camry. I may actually give the new Regal a look.

This is what I would look at also.

Same for me. The current 2nd gen' TSX has grown on me quite a bit...

Back in mid '08 when I was in the market, it came down to an '08 TSX (last year of the 1st gen') & '08 Accord EX-L. The newly redesigned '09 TSX was gonna be out within a month, but strangely the Acura dealer still wasn't too motivated to discount on existing inventory. Also, the 1st gen' TSX backseat was a bit tight for my needs. But, it was a fun car to drive, the fit-&-finish was nice, as well as equipment/tech'. It felt solid, refined, and well-built for its price-point. But, again as aforementioned - it was a bit cramped in terms of interior space & I needed a proper midsized roomy family car.

If I could go w/ a 2+2, I'd look into a VW CC. They were discounted a nice bit from MSRP, there's enthusiast support w/ regards to tuning/accessorizing, and it's a sweet looking ride. An USDM VW CC diesel would be interesting, if ever offered!

Otherwise, I'm still drawn to the Volvo S40 for some reason or another. Regardless, the 8th gen' 2008 Accord has served me very well & I have no gripes, second thoughts, or whatever else.

Out of all of the current midsized import or domestic family sedans (ie. Accord, Camry, Altima, Mazda6, Sonata, Malibu, Focus, Passat, etc'), it seems like real-life / real-world press tests & reviews are very keen towards the Suzuki Kizashi. I like it, and I don't like it. If that even makes sense.

Dodge Challenger R/T.

I was actually going to trade my coupe in for this last month but once I found out how much I would get for the coupe, I scratched that idea and I'm going to continue to drive it until the wheels fall off.

Same here but I didn't get it cause of the gas mileage that thing got.
