I was thinking about the new Mazda 8, but had planned to wait a few years for a Turbo if possible.
I'll probably take this year's model for a test drive to see if it'll do.
I'm also looking into an identical twin to my car (minus the door ding on the rear passenger door).
Not quite sure what the insurance is going to say because the cop said he'd site me for 'going too fast for conditions'... of course I was!!! I was still on the accelerator while the car launched into a 4-wheel drift and took on the concrete barrier! 
Sorry, ... I am still a little pissed at myself... just when I thought I'd learned how to drive.
