I agree that the Corona Exsior is an interesting car especially if it looks EUDM. However, it's slow (needs an engine change to a 3S-GE beams) and is pretty old already.

how about the 2008 mazda 6 you love it I think because it's
sporty and it dosen't look like a executive car
How about considering
a Volvo and BMW and Audi
if your budget is around 300k
Yup the 6th gen is what I'm looking at right now. The 7th gen, not so much because it's the same engine output on a body that's 150 kg heavier so I understand why others will find it sluggish for a midsizer. My friend has both a 2.0 VTi-L 7th gen and a 2.4 V Camry and the Camry is noticeably faster from a standstill and even with a slow transmission it's still more responsive overall because of the greater torque and lighter body.

The 2008 Mazda 6 looks ugly to me compared to the '05-'07 one. Only the facelift (released 2010) looks good, but that's still expensive. And IMO the facelifted gen 1 Mazda 6 still looks more timeless.

Not interested in Euro cars because the price equivalent of a midsizer would be an older, slower, and less reliable euro car. It's hard enough to maintain an old Jap car, it gets exponentially difficult and expensive if it's an old Euro. Only old Euro I would consider is an E39 5-series because it's such a classic, but I'm not at that financial level in my life yet that I can afford to maintain a money pit just because it's beautiful.
