The only cars that I am aware of that sell bench are LaCrosse, Lucerne, Impala and maybe some large fords?

See lots of them at the classic car shows. The bench seat, and sitting with the girlfriend -- ah those days have long sense past us bye. Except those cars you mentioned. Heck, if ya like'em go for the seats. Ol' Besty 3.8 will get her down the road.

I had my choice narrowed down the the Buick Lucerne and the Lexus ES. The show stopper for me with the Lexus was when I crawled into the back seat. My head was smashed into the roof and my knees were jammed into the back of the front seat. A road trip in the back seat would be misery. For the next size up in a Lexus sedan they wanted $64K for it. No way...Also, there was no iPod jack in the Pioneer sound system - you'd have to use one of those casette adaptors with the wire hanging out.

The iPod connects directly through and aux jack into the Lexus ES 350, it sounds great.
As far as the back seat I don't know about you but I'll never be in the back seat of my car!
In fact almost no one will ever sit there. I'll be the only one in the car 95% of the time.
If I need to take a load of people I'll drive our Honda Pilot SUV.

Did you forget the full-size Cadillac DTS?
3 of the models offer bench seating and they feel more comfortable than Lucerne (yes  8-12k more).
However just as in Lucerne the Magnetic Suspension is only
found in their DTS PERFORMANCE Pkg. and again buckets are the only offering.

Very good, then...When I was looking a month ago, the Lexus 350 hadn't come out yet - I was comparing the Lucerne to the ES 330 which had no iPod jack. Of course the ES 350 is going for about $7K more than the price I was quoted for the 330. They were trying to get rid of the last 19 they had at the dealership.

Buy a year old DTS and save $15K or so!

I think most large trucks have the bench seats available.
