If you can't get a V6 Camry, I change my vote to Aura. A Milan is a lady car.

I'd pick the Aura. I've been seeing them a lot lately and they are sharp looking cars.
The Fusion/Milan with the 4 cylinders are really slow. But I'm sure any of these with a 4 banger would be slow.

Hey! Thanks for the input.
As far as I know they are all "entry level" V6 trim.
Looked closely at a couple of Aura's onthe road today. Also saw quite a Fuzion's - not so many new Camry's.

Camry for the long-term reliability... if you care about that, that is.

(The Aura is nice too but, I would not...and did not....get it over the Accord.) IMHO, the Fusion/Milan are VERY underrated.

Turned out I didn't have a choice.
By the time I had enough miles to order the "crash" had occured and, based on what I was told, Ford/GM were not making *any* fleet vehicles available (to us?) until 3rd qtr '09. So our fleet manager went out and found some Camry program cars to tide over drivers with high mileage cars.
I got no choices (int/ext color, etc); just got handed one of whatever she had in the program pool.
2009 Black/Ash Camry LE (4 cyl) w/Moonroof and Traction Control. Picked it up Friday. I figure it'll probably be pretty much bullet proof, particularly since it'll be ~90% highway.
Wife asked if there was anything "better" in this car than the '07 TL-S. In two days I have not thought of / found a single thing.
First thoughts:
- Nice ride; Quiet
- Acceptable acceleration (esp for a 4 Cyl)
- Looks like a lot of trunk space (plenty of room for golf clubs)
- Plays MP3 CD's
- Nice Mats
- Quite a lot of little storage cubbys
- Clean, easy to use interior layout.
Pretty basic, but it's new and a new car is *always* cool. And a *free* new car is pretty much unbeatable.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
Never impressed with Ford.....And the Mercury is a rebadged Taurus (I believe), with Ford interior plastics not being up to par. And the styling is, well, meh...
The Aura, while being a Malibu/whichever Buick product/G6, is still based in an Opel platform, and has pretty good interior ergonomics. I'd say this should be good for traveling around, and giving the impression you're company uses American products....

BTW - just updating an old thread in my previous post; it's a done deal -Camry is in the driveway.
