What would YOU buy today to replace your S80? 850

Do you have any recommendations?

We have 3 Hondas right now, and I'm impressed that you can get to both the heater core and AC evaporator without too much drama. But the Japanese makes have just about as much character as my refrigerator. And lousy seats.

The unreliable Eurojunk fits my butt much better than the Japanese. The dilemma - do you want to be annoyed when the Eurocar breaks, or be annoyed every day driving Japanese with the uncomfortable seats? If I buy another Volvo, it will be with the extended waranty, and I'll trade it the day before the warranty expires.

So what would YOU buy -today- to replace your S80?
