I've got a new diesel suburban on order. I'll be lucky to see it this year. I'd also like a hybrid sedan but I hate the super wide center consoles that bang into your knee that they all seem to have. I had a Honda accord exl that id ordered show up about January but I could stand driving with my knees together. The downside to all the affirmative action female interior designers according to my friend at gm is that all vehicles now are designed for the comfort of short women.
They say men will only buy trucks and suvs now but I'd love a nice sedan with a bench front seat or at least comfortable seats without a foot wide center console. The last sedan I was comfortable driving was a Buick Lucerne. Some of the small cars feel roomier because of the cockpit layout they do these days. Wife wanted an suv a few years ago. I didn't fit in a grand Cherokee but surprisingly fit in a smaller ckerrokee because of the way the center console layed out

Find a low mileage Crown Vic or Mercury Marquis with the 5.0. Maybe a Lincoln Towncar? Pretty smooth riding sedan with a front bench
I'd like about a 96 impala ss or about the same year Buick station wagon with wood panels and rumble seats in the back. A few years ago I barely missed a 97 or so Buick station wagon with wood panels, an lt1 350, and 45,000 original miles. The guy said it was his 90 some year old dad's that just passed away and he had a dozen calls or more tge first hour the paper came out. The first guy there bought it.
I missed a mint white 91 Nissan 300 zx twin turbo with 80,000 original miles about that same time. That was my high school dream car, that and a 67 rs ss camaro.
My friend and I took his crown vic to the Portland gunshow and then hit my condo in Newport for a few weeks about a dozen years ago. That thing broke down twice on the trip and left us stranded. Kind of put me off to them but I was traditionally a gm guy even though I'm driving a new f150 these days. I used to swear off all things Mopar too but my 2019 ram truck, 2019 Cherokee trailhawk, and 2021 pacifica hybrid have all been great. My gm loyalty is largely a thing off the past but I am excited to get our new diesel suburban. I hope it works ok because 70k feels like a lot for any vehicle.
