One aspect you haven't looked at is some of the domestics. While I wouldn't want a Chevy or Chrysler if it were given to me, Ford products are on the up and up. The new Lincolns are getting alot nicer and relatively luxury/sport orientated, and the Mercury Milan with the premium package and V6 has "intelligent 4 wheel drive" for a nice and low starting price. And even the Ford Fusion is a decent little car. Hell, even the Mazda 6 is coming up in quality. The German aspect of the FoMoCo cars comes from Volvo, which has good safety in its past.

I would prefer these over the Japanese cars nowadays as these ford products have some German styling and handling ques.
