Help me find Another car please!!

Hi everyone. I've previously gotten help finding a car on this forum. I am no expert. I am trying to find my wife a new car.

I want it to be a nicer car to drive around that has atleast 25 mpg. My considerations are cost of maintenance and parts. Also it must be Automatic.

Initially I am interested in something like a 2005 Acura TL & also the SAAB 93 that was recommended previously on this page.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm sure you all will have many questions because my lack of direction. Budget is $4-10k. I am looking for a good value.

You might be able to find a 3rd gen prius in that price range, not sure what kind of efficiency you want and what you're willing to sacrifice to get it.

My wife is not wanting a car that is as fuel efficient as mine. She wants the better looks. She doesnt want a yaris or prius and thinks they are ugly.

I am thinking of cars like that saab or the acura tl 2007ish for good examples of what types of cars she would like driving.

Thank you.
