Go on ahead and wait till the 2005 Altima SER comes out. But seriously though. I know having another car with some more pep in it's step is a good thing but just make sure you are not living out of your means. Just be patient and it will all work out. You were patient this long to get another place what's waiting a little longer.

yeah dude....i cant wait until im done paying off my accord.
Last payment for me is April07 and its an 02 accord.
I was wondering what would my next car be.
Im enjoying the pleasant looks of the 545i and 745i.
the 7 series looks too big for me but inside its extremely confortable for me and my fiance.
The 545 is nice also but since im 6'2 it seems like a pain in my ass to sit comfortably.
I gotta have the seat all back and since I always have people in my car they are always like ohhh.....can you move your seat up etc..... I hate that shit.
Before Hondas I was into German cars ( gti vr6 turbo is my other car ).
The only thing i dislike about my VW is the parts are expensive and usually I have to get it imported from Germany. a ****en switch to turn on my city lights cost me 80 bucks for a piece of plastic.
Where as on a honda all you need is a piece of duct tape to hold it.
Im more for reliability. The most I would spend on a car / afford on a car right now is max 52000K im not spending more than that.
So what other cars are available around that range?
I do like the Acura RL thats another one in my eyes.

Right now, a 2004 Dodge Intrepid is tempting, as is a Chevy Trailblazer. I'm not looking for any performance type vehicle, as you can tell, just something comfy and practical and can give a little more power than my 4 banger.
No offense, but don't buy an American car (I know I'll never). My friend has a 2002 Intrepid and it's the biggest piece of junk you can buy. I had chevy trucks before, waste gas like crazy, plus always need service. I barely change oil in my accord and never had a problem.

If you go Domestic go with a truck or SUV if you go with a car go with german. I still have my accord and I just bought a 04 Chevy Silverado. I love that truck and i have already started to modify it. You will be extremely dissappointed with a Domestic car. My 2 cents.

American cars can take a hit though.
Remeber the old school Chevy Caprice.
You could drive that shit into a brick wall and the car will go right through it with only brick dust all over it.
