I have to chime in and suggest an Audi. I love mine! I have a '99 A6, and except for the price, it is all there. And the tiptronic transmission is fun! It's really great when going up the canyons to ski, just leave it in third, and have plenty of power. I have install pics on riocar.org of how well my empeg went in. But I suggest taking a look at them. They may have more luxury options than you are looking for, but one of the things that sold me on mine was the interior styling.
