I sold my Contour SVT 2 years ago. I sold its replacement on Tuesday. Now, split my miles between a Supercrew and a Stratus. Yesterday, I drove the Stratus and my wife took the truck. I need to replace a brake line on my RX-7 and then I'll drive that and the Stratus. Lease is up on the Stratus in October so I am searching for my next vehicle. Maybe a 300C Hemi or a diesel Liberty.
I avoided M-39. I stick to subdivisions and secondary streets as much as possible. The freeways and main roads are just parking lots on snowy days in my experience.

I sat in the 300C Hemi at the NAISA and its one hell of a ride, thats for sure  Nice to see RWD back in the fold, now it just needs to trickle down to cars costing $20-$25K, but you get a hell of a car for $40K (300C Hemi) I even liked the Magnum and even though the 250hp 3.5L isn't a Hemi, you can get one of those for like $26K, not bad  I didn't even know they were making a diesel Liberty 
Hey guys, I got snow on my Tour 2 days ago too When I opened my garage door to get out my killer snow blower, some of the snow blew in and got on my rear bumper and trunk When I was done with the snow blower, I cranked up the heater, melted the snow and wiped it down, LOL!

300 Hemi C is only $33k to start, $24k with options I'd like. Magnum RT with the Hemi is $30k to start, and $32.5k with options I'd want. I went to the show yesterday and was not as impressed as I was hoping to be. Trim materials and style were not sa nice as I was expecting.
The three vehicles that impressed me the most were the Volvo S60R, Malibu, and what may be my next car the Mazda 3 5-door.

Doh! $34k, not 24 for the 300 Hemi C.
I need to test drive a Maz3 as that looks like a nice car for about $17k.

I like the (3) vehicles you mentioned Aaron, especially the S60R but at $42K, its a bit out of my price range, thats for sure I sat in the gray S60R and let me tell you what, GREAT interior From the "baseball glove" colored seats to the blue gauge faces, its a bad-ass car thats a real sleeper in todays market. I wonder how many people you could sucker with this car. For those who don't know, the car has a 5 cyl turbo w/ 300 hp, 295 ft/lbs of torque, 6 speed and AWD, not to mention killer brakes and YAW control to boot. They even make a wagon for those who really need to "haul" ass
You also mentioned the Malibu and I can tell you this, the car has some balls. My Dad has one, the gray/green colored one w/ the 3.5L 200 hp engine and this gets up and goes I like the manual shift mode on the shifter and you can go into it on the fly. I expect the Malibu to get some type of performance model in the future, lets just hope it gets some bigger tires/wheels to fill the wheelwells, its the only thing I don't like about my Dads ride.
As far as the Mazda 3 goes, well, the one I priced out was $21K, but w/ my father-in-laws discount it would be a little over $19K. This car has it all and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. You get alot of car for not so much money. You know theres a MazdaSpeed in the works, so lets just hope its more powerful than the 170 hp, Calloway-developed, MP3 MazdaSpeed Protege' it replaces
