Think that I'll be keeping my brick for a long time

Drove a coulple newer cars today for the heck of it, and was sadly dissapointed. I drove an S80, which felt cheap to me. I then went to drive an Acura TL-Preowned, and the Airconditioner did not work worth a darn! Heck, my airconditioner was just as good. I was a little put off that the acura seemed to drive and ride better then the s80. I was suprised that they didn't offer a manual transmission in that car, it would have made it more fun. I'm not sold on the reliability factor of the geartronic trasmission. I don't think either car would hold up as well as old RWD bricks have. I know that our old bricks can easily get up in miles, but what happens to reliabilty after 200K? Trying to justify some paint work on the hood trunk and roof of my brick.
