Non Focus discussion. Pretty much other cars and off topic stuff.

Um, 5-speed V6. They didn't put a manual with the V8.

The LS is a very nice car but being Jag based they are very unique and expensive to fix if something does go wrong.

My bad, in my hasty wiki research i confused the 5-speed man with the 5-speed auto w/manual "selectshift"

that being the case, nevermind. I know first-hand those engines are absolute dogs.

You want luxury with some performance you might want to look at Acura you'd have to go a little older to get the price range you want. My Girl has a 03 3.2TLS very nice ride and it gets up and goes. They are very expensive to fix though. Just throwing in my $0.02

Well, after all the lookin' and considerin', I bought an 04 Infiniti G35 RWD. My top choice would have been a Lexus LS430, but they are too pricy. I got the G35 for a good price, and the pre-purchase inspection was excellent. Should pick it up Wednesday.
