Since I myself prefer old '68 mustangs, I would like some advice and help in finding her a car similar to the Camry, but with more power (note: it needs to have 4-doors, an automatic transmission, and an air conditioner). In addition, I have an upper price limit of about $12 K. I have heard some good things about the new Volkswagens. Do they compare favorably with these cars? The Saab? Volvos? I am mainly interested in getting something with good handling and good power (to enable her to outrun all the intoxicated drivers on the New Mexico highways). Any help would be deeply appreciated. -- bill peter ihnp4!lanl!wkp seismo!cmcl2!lanl!wkp *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR ADVICE ***
