Buick's surprisingly satisfying LaCrosse has V-6 power, a great automatic transmission, and a sophisticated interior.
The Toyota Avalon's somewhat unusual styling is balanced by its vast interior room and the model's exceptional reputation for reliability.
Chevrolet's Impala was greatly improved in a redesign a few years ago, and can be a great bargain--plus, it's the only car in this group with a V-8 option.

A great choice for older drivers, the 2008 Ford Taurus excels on its size, safety gear, and large instrumentation, but falls behind the Honda Accord in driving excitement. | If you’re in the market for a comfortable sedan with lots of space at a reasonable price, the 2009 Chevrolet Impala is a practical but not exciting choice. | The 2008 Toyota Avalon is designed for a cushy, comfortable ride and impressive interior space above all else. |
