The eye-catching Toyota Avalon is the current full-size sedan to beat with its strong V-6 engine and thrifty hybrid option.
The Buick LaCrosse builds on the Impala with a nicer interior and an optional mild-hybrid engine, but it can be eye-wateringly expensive in most configurations.
The Nissan Maxima tries to be sporty and somewhat succeeds.
Better on the sporty scale is the Dodge Charger, a sedan with personality that’s starting to feel very old.
Its more luxurious sibling, the Chrysler 300, oozes style—but that may be too much for some buyers.
