My wife is currently driving an '06 Sonata. It has been a great car. We bought it new maintained it well, has almost 160,000 miles on it and still runs great. I just started thinking about a new car for her. I've considered another Hyundai, but like the looks of the Chevy Impala, and Equinox. Anyone have any experience with either of them? She's on the road without me from time to time going to see the grandkids, and I've begun to worry about the Hyundai on the road so much.

Some of those Buick models have available nice brake packages. I know one (LaCrosse, Regal?) has availability of the same Bimbo brakes used on the SS and CTS-V. 310 HP, AWD and nice brakes in a 4-door. What's not to love?
