Not sarcasm. Maybe too fluffy, but I don't like change unless it's for the better. Toadster has made me laugh tea out my nose before, and amused me often.

I feel the same way. The only cars that tempt that "Family Sedan but can rip it up" slot for me are (in some order)

Chevy SS (comes in a manual, don't forget)
Caddy CTS-V *Sedan or Coupe*
Dodge *charger* (not challenger) Hellcat.

Funny enough, each of those can be had in the 60s at this point. 3 times what I have in the E55.

This seems to have four doors. That makes them family sedans. I switched the charger and Challenger. I meant the sedan. Hate the coupe monstrosity.
