Considered the following:
Silverado Pickup - about $18k with rebates, but will get "a" raped at the gas pump
Grand Marquis - same as Silverado, presently $6k rebate on 07 models
Fusion/Milan - blind spots, decent offering for $20k range, shares platform with Mazda 6. Sweet 6 speed AT on V6 version.
Impala - great ride and decent mpg for a full size sedan in the $20k range, but will get "a" raped on resale thanks to rentals and fleet sales
Accord - poor owner reviews, but it's due to redesign in a few months (2008)
Camry - redesigned this year and has more quality problems than ever in it's history, including AT probs
