So next year I am looking for a newer higher end car for traveling and for my fiance to be driving daily. I got it narrowed down thanks to my other thread a couple days ago. It's between a jaguar, Audi, Subaru, Mercedes, Lexus, and BMW since I found a shop that can at least do some things to the car. Limit is 25k usd but can stretch a little. No newer than 2012 tho. It must have a rear view camera and a touchscreen along with a sunroof. I am currently looking at an a6. Suggestions. Needless to say it must be 4 doors and AWD along with being safe for a family and reliable for a long time.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Why no newer than 2012? The 13 Ford Fusion Titanium has a 2.0L Turbo AWD, touchscreen, and rear cam. It may be quite a search for one with a sunroof though. You should be able to find one in that price range. I have the 2014. It has great interior space, great audio, nice power, and great fuel mileage. And it looks like an Aston...

Yup ;) 2014

It's pretty affordable too, only 2x the OP's budget.

Ummm first off the newer the car the higher the insurance rates. Second her dad is a chevy guy and so is our family, that being said I've always wanted to own an expensive luxury car mainly for traveling.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.
