Watch out for those plain looking four door sedans from Toyota. You can get a V-6 Camry with a 5 speed. They look just like the slow four cylinder models with automatics. I collect cars, but not ladies, so my wife is happier. I have Saabs, a Volvo and Camry V-6. The Camry is the fastest out of the light - no turbo lag. I can only guess at the expression on the faces when that "old four door family car" leaves them behind at the lights. The Saabs are much more fun on the back roads.
