Why does everything cool have to be old, front wheel drive, or off the charts expensive?  ? I mean what do they make now thats mid to full sized, ~250+hp, rear wheel drive, have an adult useable backseat, that doesn't cost a buttload of money or beak every 5k miles? Seriously the only thing left that really fits this is the Ford Crown Vic/Mercury Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car and with the tiny 4.6L engine, I'd have to mod the hell out of it to get anywhere close to the power to weight ratio of my Regal GS!! An Impala SS is cool, has the room and power but they are still $10k+ even with 100k+ miles on them! I like the Caddy Fleetwood but same type deal. Man... why can't they make something cool from the factory that doesn't cost an arm and the blood of your first born anymore... I think I'm going to keep my SR because I just paid half the value of the car to get the tranny redone  GRRRRRRR.... I might want a clean Limited or something to trade for my Regal GS if one came up, and if its not a turbo forgive me but I'm going to put a B-body LT1 in it and have power, gas mileage, and something I can get parts for cheap.
