Just one question - have you ever tried out a Peugeot 505? That is hands down the best car I've ever driven. I've driven a 300SD (tho not very far) and while it was nice, I still prefer my 505. It just sucks that it's so expensive to repair!
I know of at least a few other car freaks who have driven just about everything out there and also choose the 505. Not that that is conclusive at all, of course!
