I'd take the BMW. It's cheaper to buy than the Tesla and it isn't as range restricted.
 
As ugly etc. etc. as that BMW is, I'd have to choose it over the Tesla. I just can't stand the thought of an electric car. I like the sound of an engine, and everything where I live is so far apart (not to mention the absence of charging stations) I'd get terrible range anxiety.
 
3 series. I want a sports sedan, not a over-weight, over-teched electric brick.

Can we post race cars? I think that would be interesting.
 
I'd have the Tesla, all modern BMW's are boring to me and I don't think they look all that great either. Plus the Tesla is electric and that pisses angry car people off, I like that quality in a car.

God, that reads like my choice at the Hertz counter when I'm at the airport. I'd probably go with the Jetta because they do make good rental cars.
 
I'd get the F30 if I can get what's left over for performance upgrades, if not, tesla all the way.

^jetta, I like the looks a little more. I'd rather have a 90s v6 Camry in good condition than one of those two honestly

Alright, can I have a go again? I haven't posted much here :)

Here we have a selection of GT3-spec racing cars, all eligible for entry in the 2012 FIA GT3 European Championship. You were running a private racing team with two main drivers, and you were allowed to choose one of these cars for the pair to compete in the 2012 season.

Jetta, the interior is executed nicely and a VW badge helps as well.

As for race cars logic tells me to get the Mclaren (carbon tub and all) but honestly I'd go for the Aston DBRS9.
 
Volkswagen Jetta (US) vs. Hyundai Elantra Limited - I'll take the Hyundai. The Jetta is a bit bland on the exterior.

Aston Martin DBRS9 vs. Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 vs. Audi R8 LMS vs. Audi R8 LMS ultra vs. Alpina B6 GT3 vs. BMW Z4 GT3 vs. Sareni United Chevrolet Camaro GT3 vs. Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 vs. Ford GT GT3 vs. McLaren MP4-12C GT3 vs. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 vs. Nismo GT-R GT3 vs. Porsche 911 GT3R vs. Reiter Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 GT3 - Holy crap...I'll take the Nismo GTR and the GT, based on looks. That was impossible.
 
I'll take the VW Jetta.

As for the race cars, I'll take the Ford GT GT3, because I know nothing about any of those cars! :lol:
 
Porsche GT3 and pair myself with Patrick Long or Jorg Bergmeister :lol: Hard to pick though, GT3 cars are bad ass.

^ I'd still pick the Tesla, since its still capable of supercharging. And I don't need the Bimmer 'cause I already have one. :)

But like they say Van, you can never have enough BMW's :sly:. Especially ///M.

VW Jetta vs. Hyundai Elantra: I'll take the Jetta, I have driven one and the car is a good car all rounder I have to say. Reliable, efficient and sporty.

FIA GT3 Spec Cars: Ugh, tough choice here. Hmmm.... If I was rolling in the money, I'll get them all and test them out between my top drivers and see what they prefer.

But it's between the GTR GT3 Nismo and the GT3 R 911, since I'm a Porsche and Nissan fan.

Go Nissan and Porsche!!!

^ Well the Bimmer that was just posted isn't even the Sport trim...and I'm sorry, I rather chose the 323ti (Kompact) over this F30. Let's say, I'm a different type of a Bimmer fan...

I see where you're coming from, I'll wait for a Sport trim IRL. But don't get me wrong, I kinda like the F30 3-Series, can't wait for the M3 version and see what it can do, but I still want to get a E30-E92 M3 though. Nothing beats those 3s. ;)

The only new BMW I can't stand is the 6-Series :yuck:. That Gran Coupe looks weird after seeing it around here in the Southern Highlands and the Henderson area in Vegas :indiff:.

I hope they do a coupe version like the E63/64 M6 Coupe, if not I'll take a 2010 M6 coupe over this 6 Series any day.
 
335i VS Model S: Easy, the Bimmer, since I'm becoming more and more a fan of everything Bavarian. Not to mention I find the Model S to be pretty bland and blobby, and I'm not keen on that huge screen in the interior.

Assortment of Race Cars: I don't know anything about any of them.

Jetta VS Elantra: While I've never really warmed up to the new Jetta (cheaper, blander, not as special as the older ones), I would take it over the Elantra, even if the Hyundai does look very nice on the outside, the Jetta is most certainly going to be more fun to drive. And five cylinders are neat.
