Bonneville GXP has a Northstar V8 as well, but would highly recommend staying away, they have massive internal weaknesses.
Accord V6, Crown Vic, Malibu, Mazda6, Sonata, Galant, Park Ave, a well used Cadillac or Infiniti or two?
Shockingly from what I've seen the G8 is about the same size, if not smaller then the Impala/Monte. Longer wheel base little wider but the specs I've seen a couple of inches shorter overall. But with a budget of $12k it's pretty much out of range too.

Evo and sti r fun but they're actually small and manual transfer on both. I am considering some AWD cars but nothing good is poping up in my price range. Legacy GT I'd consider but they're expensive! I need a sedan my monte won't do no more it a pain in the *** loading and unloading a kid out of it. Plus we want another baby soon, I'll be in real trouble if I still had the monte by then.

Gonna let go of my monte soon, 11 years I had it and now I'm finally bored of it but truly I'm more in need of a bigger daily driver, perhaps more powerful too. I'm strongly considering the GP GXP over all other cars. Could use some input toward this car is or if I'm better off without it and considering something else like you tell me...

Okay now I'm between the GXP, the GS430 and Acura TL 04-08! I test drove all and am mixed between truly the GXP and the Lexus. Lexus is much more luxurious and gxp feels very sporty, TL is in between both as far as driver comfrot goes, has best mpg tho I don't give a damn about that. Lexus is well a Lexus no known major issues like the gxp with the transmission has. Help me choose one guys lol

How is your budget? The lexus will be expensive to own. All parts will have a mark-up, insurance might be high.

I think the GXP is a great choice. I was gonna make the same point as Mike. While the lexus is a nice car it's a luxury car and that adds to everything. My friend had a Jaguar that he bought for a pretty reasonable price but come tune up time it was a $1700 expense and a 2 hour trip to a dealer because no one in the area works on them.
