Well maybe look into volvo's a little bit more, there pretty luxurious and have some go behind them. Not sure about luxury but if you could find one maybe a Galant VR-4?.I believe Saab had a few 4dr boosted cars....

note difference between repairing/replacing a broken part and installing a kit.

I agree, I looked at some 850 turbo's before I got my SE-R, but they seem to be the best bang for you buck unless you find somthing else. There's enough aftermarket support(engine wise & suspension, not sure if your planned on doing anything to it or not) for the 850 Turbo/R/T5-R to have a pretty good handling and quick 4dr. check out www.ipdusa.com, that will give you a clue on whats out there for them...

def want something newer.

so from what iv read i see a few models that i like.
2000 S70 t5

'98-2000 V70R (if i feel like a wagon)
I liek the more modern interior of these...

even a '97 850R
but the racing seats in these make me smile.

Or I could just get som bawls and get a Volvo S80 2.8 it's TT. That looks that would do it right there.
*edit: after reading therevies of the s80 i think ill stay away from it.

850R or T5-R would be a nice ride, so would a V70R if you in to the sport wagon kinda deal...

well considering what they used to bein the late 80s & early 90 they have come a little ways, ok I get what your saying. but at the same time they arent your normal 4dr sedam If your following me. There in that "middle to upper" end of sedans from the mid 90s to today..., maybe more so "upscale" than luxury....
