Our love affair with our cars spans the spectrum of life's stages.  From the carefree days of youth to the exciting phase of college and post-college years to family life and then to maturity and retirement, cars occupy a special niche in our hearts, deeds, and minds. In the 1960s, the Chevrolet Impala made such an impact, not just being considered by some as among the first muscle cars of its time but as a car with more than its own share of style, handling, and performance.  Although for some time the Chevy Impala was not being manufactured in the active production line, Chevy Impala has been reintroduced lately.  And true to its blood line, the Chevy Impala combines the trappings of luxury in a sports sedan frame.

Talking of sports and sedan combos that are in the market today, another name that comes up is that of the Chrysler Sebring, which is available either as a convertible, coupe, or sedan.  The Chryler Sebring, which falls under the midsize class, has seen design changes for 2010, including having no more of those distinctive hood strakes seen in earlier models and the addition of active front head restraints. On the topic of style, there is the Mercury Milan which incidentally has the same name as the Italian city known for its trend-setting fashion and elegance.  The Mercury Milan presents a package of style inside and out plus sporty features and at a relatively affordable price.  Sports-luxury sedans represent an attracfive option for groups of car buyers who are beyohd the high-octane thrills of younger years and are interested in cars that are a bit higher-end than the average economy or family sedan

And of in keeping up with the budget-conscious tempo of these thin-wallet times, the Honda Fit has emerged as a big winner in a figuratively small package. The Honda Fit hatchback could just be the right fit for most everyone's basic transport needs without breaking the bank.  From muscle cars to family sedans to mini misers, our preferences for cars  seem to be influenced by life events of our generation and depend on the particular life stages that we are in.
