I'm starting to look for a new car, and want to give the American cars a look. I live in a rural area and do mostly highway driving. The only dealer in my town is a Chevy dealer, but I'm willing to travel, within reason. My last few cars have been SAABs or Japanese cars. I do most of my own mechanical work.
I want a mid-size (Malibu/Stratus/Taurus) 4-door, prefer V-6 (or inline 6) for power, and I want a manual transmission. I don't want a 4-cyl, and I don't want an automatic. I don't want a truck or SUV. I can't seem to find any American cars that offer a manual, except Cadillac, and that's out of my price range. Any suggestions?? Or should I go back to my Japs and Swedes?
