I agree it's sporty looking, I was obviously more thinking of performance and size, though it had a huge engine and some power.  We'll go with sporty.  It's nice looking, I think, with that paint job to the hilt and a nice interior, I would drive it some.

I'd guess it would get 10 or so mpg in the highway.

What new car would you buy today for $100 K or less that meets your personal needs?  (If you need to tow, have a large group to haul about, like to pay less for gas, need to haul stuff, like SUVs, whatever ...).

I'd need to mull this a bit, it would have been a Corvette Z51 a few years back.  Now might be more of a snazzy SUVish thing.  Or the CT4 V Blackwing?

We never buy new cars anymore, so we have more choices.

This would do it. AMG GLE 63.




But, since my need for speed has diminished, we'll probably end up with the GLE 550 and call it good. Maybe even a hybrid.

I don't know that I like anything available today that meets my needs. 

I need a 3-row vehicle with easy ingress/egress to the back row. I need the second row to have legroom--the oldest is 6'1" and growing. I don't want an SUV (defined as giant beast on a truck chassis), and I don't particularly like the CUVs that look like SUVs. I like something that's a little lower to the ground and doesn't handle like a turd. 

Maybe a Subaru Ascent? 

But in reality, the answer is "keep my 2014 Ford Flex going until my needs change."

today I'm a traveling salesman driving around 3,500 miles a month

need a large sedan

I just looked and Toyota is no longer offering the Avalon
I knew Chevy no longer made the Impala

maybe the 2023 Chrysler 300.
I'd need all-wheel dr, because rear wheel drive sisn't good for snow and ice

Can you get the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class for under 100K?

US News didn't even list a Cadillac.  Is their largest offering similar to the Malibu?

I think I'd much prefer a used 2020 Impala

That would be my choice as well, but I don't think Cincy is interested

I already own the only vehicle in the world that really meets my needs.  Brand new version of it comes in at around $75,000 - $80,000 so I guess it meets the criteria.
