VB's Comparo: Average (V6) sport coupes

[The Vanishing Boy]

Yeah, yeah, Acura RSX, Toyota Celica, Volkswagen Golf GTi,Ford Mustang GT, etc. We keep hearing these teriffic coupes almost everyday. But little we mention the other coupes like these 'average' V6 coupes. which do you think is the best?

 

[HRT_Maloo]

None of them for me! Im all for BMWs 325ti compact coupe. Do you guys get that in NA?

 

[HRT_Maloo]

Except its a I6

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

Yes, but what I'm talking about is cars that has an average, not-so-good, mediocre performance based on the magazine reviews. The 3-series, G35, CLK are a spectacular coupes, but it doesen't fall into this category.

It will take a bit of research before I make my decision. Im afraid I dont know **** about most of the cars on the list.

I will probably pick the merc, grand prix, or maybe even the tiburon.

Because you live in New Zealand, no wonder. These cars are only available in the US (execpt Ford Cougar, Mazda MX-6, and M-B C180.

Yeah I know most of the cars on the list except the GM ones and the other domestics. Any way, I though GM had canned Oldsmobile.
From the list Id probally take the Tiburon or Accord coupe (260hp 6spd Accord right?)

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

I think my choice will be Honda Accord EX V6 6-spd

Although its just called the coupe in England, I do like the look of the thing, it would be nice if it was RWD though.

MB Coupe.

I bet if Ford made a pile of dog poo and said it was based on the Mondeo you would like it.

 

[TVRKing]

Yep.

Nah - RWD'd be nice, but it's still a Hyundai. It is good-looking, but a convertible would be nice. Anyway, it's a great car, and the best possible Hyundai. I'd buy it in a second.
