| Looking for a nice sports sedan. Considering a 540i, S4 or A6 2.7T, E430 or
an Impala SS. I know the Chevy probably has the best reliability and
quality and performance, but how do the others compare? Have they matched
chevy quality yet? thanks!

I've had a Chevy, and I now have a BMW. Your post looks a lot like a troll
to me.

S4 - not sporty enough. I'd suggest an older mint condition used S70R.
540i - get a M3 instead. No brainer.
A6 - *try* to get any work on the engine without removing it. This
killed it on my list.
The E430 - too pricey.
Want real sporty? The IS300 and M3 are pretty much it. Inline 6,
RWD, and manual(real with a clutch and linkage - no computers)
transmission. >> Stay informed about: Sports Sedan |

You must be first one to say S4 is not sporty. In my eyes, S70 is a family
car with some muscles, but S4 beats it back-and-forth with standard four
wheel drive and plenty of horse power. Some say it is even faster than M3.

Dude, if you look at the cars this guy is considering, both the IS300
and M3 are probably too small for him. Then again, the S4 isn't much
bigger. If you want a *sporty* car, and will probably blow the doors
off of most if not all the cars mentioned, take a look at the Subaru
WRX at about $25K or for even more performance, the Subaru WRX STI
which starts at about $30k.... >> Stay informed about: Sports Sedan |

They are not nearly as long, which is quite distressing. Nor could
they be mistaken for a Hudson at a distance, which might spoil your
plans to attend a classic car meet. I also find that they do not measure
up on the critical "mouse-fur-seat" scale. To add insult to injury,
the makers of these so-called competing vehicles often thrust a "console"
between one and one's bitch, making the successful acquisition of in-
flight oral gratification difficult at best and painful at worst.

Sir, you will search in vain for a foreign company, run by those
stinking Jerries, which can match the reliability, interior quality,
and deft handling of a mid-Nineties uprated Caprice. For proof of
this, I invite you to visit New York City and see which one of those
nancy-boy foreign cars, if any, is doing taxicab duty. While the "E"
does taxi duty overseas, I suspect Europeans rarely vomit in their
cabs, as they typically visit a so-called "vomitorium" immediately
after consuming vast quantities of grapes and young boys, as seen in
the recent infomercial "I, Claudius". >> Stay informed about: Sports Sedan |

Try a Buick Regal. Beats them all in engineering and comfort.

That must have been in the late 70's or early 80's
when G.M. really had their quality at a high
level that set the bar for all other auto makers.
Right?
The German auto makers have never been
able to match the unparalleled build quality
that came out of Detroit during this "golden"
era, so the original post makes perfect sense.

LOL.. You have to laugh at all of the anti-german posts, both in here and
the re.autos.makers.chrysler newsgroup.. The rest of the world knows that
German stuff is pretty damn tough and generally of high quality, but US
posters just can't except it.. the joke is on them, however.. the main gun
on the front of an Abrams M1E1 is of German descent.. ref.
<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/120.htm.." target="_blank">http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/120.htm..</a> quote from that site..
"The 120mm smooth bore cannon system was developed by West Germany for the
Leopard II tank. The ammunition produced by both countries is interoperable
and interchangeable between the Abrams and the Leopard, thus ensuring
maximum commonality within the NATO community.".. Deutschland Uber Alles..

Matched Chevy's quality? That would be a giant leap backwards for most, if
not all, of the models you listed.
