    Hi all, my 4th Grand Prix is coming to the end of her life and since there are no new ones to take her place, what are some recommendations for a similar look and ride. I am willing to move away from GM.
    Thanks in advance.

    Get another Grand Prix! There's a lot of good condition GPs out there still, and they're getting cheaper than ever to buy.

    I'm growing fond of my wife's Chrysler 200C, it's got decent looks and handles pretty good... The base model kinda sucks, honestly, but the AWD V6 is more than worth the money, and the C trim level interior is much nicer than it should be for the price.

    The 300c is nice, don't get me wrong... but it's the same engine, same quality of interior, and almost 15k more than the 200c. But it is RWD/AWD, and has heated and cooled cupholders. lol

    Guess it's different than a 2012 200. My wife has a 2012 Chrysler 200 base. I've got no complaints, but no compliments either. Stock stereo is great, 2.4 engine with vvt is gutless until 4k rpm. Gas hog. Haven't had any issues in 72k miles though. Altimas are catching my eye. 2015 2.5s with less than 20k miles for $12k at dealers by me. 38mpg sounds nice. Hyundai sonata sport is sharp with a 280hp turbo 4, but the 2016 carries a $30k price tag.

    Yeah, the updated 2015+ 200's are based on the Alpha Romero wide compact platform... Only thing it shares with the previous gen is the name.

    I have been eyeing Nissan Maxima or Infiniti so far. Drove an Infiniti a few years ago and it's the off-the-line kick that I love.

    The 50th anniversary camaro has a supercharged 6.2 L with 625 HP. That should do. 💰💰💰

    my wife drove a Fusion for several years. she loved that thing and when she hit an elk, she was really sad that it was totaled. they are good cars and hold their value well, not like the Cruze I have been trying to sell. the Fusion she had was about the same size as my Grand Prix. The Cruze is a compact.
