Thanks for the replies. CTS is now a little dated and on top of that it's being replaced next year with a vastly updated design. For GM vehicles in general (and I have been a GM person since birth) they do not feel solid to me anymore. The ES350 isn't bad but it is a little big and my mom wants my grandmother to be able to easily maneuver. I think the G35 might be knocked off the list because it is def a little too sporty not to mention I think the trunk opening is too narrow for her golf clubs to fit in. I tend to like the classiness of the A4, not to mention that this car may eventually be mine which is what she eluded to. I also like the no frills interior that is nicely put together but not flamboyantly done. Anymore info on the A4 would be helpful.
