We recently had a Hyundai i40 station wagon in black. Lovely car with a lot of space for passengers, high quality interior and large electrical glas roof that was fantastic to catch the first spring sun. However I was not very happy with the fuel (Diesel) consumption. Check out if you want to see more:

I'm liking the Maxima more and more, especially now that it has Android Auto. However, I would still take a Camaro SS, Mustang turbo, Chrysler 300S over it.

Meh on the crysler 300. The seats just suck imho and I am not fond of any fiat crysler product that isn't a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The camaro SS and Mustang 5.0 you won't find in the aisle where I am and plus the 4 doors is a priority for me most of the time but otherwise I do agree.
Gettinf quite fond of the Q50 in the 3.0t lux trim. Don't care for the 2.0t engine

Another way is the tag on the keys. Like the Mazda CX5 Grand Touring which had all wheel drive said something along the lines of grand touring 4wd (don't remember the abbreviated word they used for grand touring). Alot of times some cars won't say trim level on the car itself like the Mazda grand touring, base trim Altima, Rogue and so forth

I have spent months at a time in the Fusion Hybrid Titanium, and in the end, I think I prefer it to all of the Mercedes, BMWs, Cadillacs and Lincolns I rented from National to date.

The Titanium models have interior features that stack up against any of the stripped luxury models that National orders, and actually exceed some of the fancier cars. I take great pleasure in driving past the gas station every day while everyone else is filling up. I can easily get almost 600 miles on a single tank with combined city/hwy driving and the tank only holds about 13-14 gallons.

Yeah I agree though you can find moderately equipped luxury cars. The infinti Q50 3.0t lux isn't bad and some of the caddys can be decently equipped.

The Ford fusion isn't a gas guzzler if you don't have a lead foot..
Also how would paddle shifters be gas guzzlers? They allow you do shift manually if you choose to.
