I'll take the 997 Turbo as it'll demolish the others on the list
 
Z4 VS Boxster VS Maserati VS 911 Turbo

The new Z4 is a great looking car. It still has that long, curved hood that sort of looks like it's pushing out its chest, but now it flows with the design much better than the old Z4. The interior's pretty nice looking too. Problem is, it's heavy. 3400 lbs is too heavy for a small sports car like this. The new Boxster isn't particularly interesting to look at, but it has the benefit of being significantly lighter than the Z4, all while being an inch longer. It also has an MR layout, which just makes it a little more exotic. It's also got some of the best steering of any car on the market. But since there's a 911 Turbo on the list, the Boxster's out. But between the Maserati and the 911, it's a tough call. The Maserati looks so much more exciting, but the 911 is a Turbo, and I've always liked 911 Turbos. It'll be much faster, will handle better, and will be more reliable than the Maserati. Both cars sound great, but I have to go for the Maserati, because it's just the more special car.
 
I like the Maserati the most, but it would be too expensive to maintain. I'll have the Boxster.

Durango VS Explorer

The Explorer's not a bad vehicle, but I don't particularly like it. The My Ford Touch touchscreen is a big minus for me (can't handle all the fingerprints) and when I sat in one, it really didn't feel very big inside like its elephantine proportions would suggest. The Flex felt much roomer inside, albeit a little narrow. The Durango's the nicer, more SUV-looking of the two, and it has a more appealing V8 to the Explorer's turbo'd V6. The Durango looks better inside (I prefer the Grand Cherokee though) and is more roomier. So I'll choose the Durango.
 
Easily the Durango. I much prefer the more aggressive styling. That holds true through almost all years of both. Only time I'd take an Explorer over a Durango is one of the old models that had 302's in them.
 
BMW X1 sDrive28i vs. Mini Cooper Countryman S John Cooper Works vs. BMW X3 xDrive28i vs. BMW X5 xDrive30i - The X3 and X5 are out because I just don't like them in this comparison at all. And between the X1 and Mini, I'll take the Mini because...I don't even know why. It's just awesome.

BMW Z4 sDrive35i M Sport vs. Porsche Boxster vs. Maserati GranTursimo vs. Porsche 911 Turbo - I know everyone's going with the 911, but I'm going to have to go with the Maserati. Why? Because it's a Maserati.

Dodge Durango Citadel vs. Ford Explorer Sport - What? Durango.
 
Dodge Durango Citadel? Never heard of that particular model, but I'll have that. Mainly for its more aggressive styling and V8, but also because its interior looks nicer.

The Monza, the Mustang II is one of the worse cars ever made. Putting a snake on it doesn't make it any better either.

Oh man, no you didn't...lmao... Considering that this is one of my least favorite eras of muscle cars, I'd rather have the Monza.

Ford bias aside, I diasgree. They ride pretty smoothly, handling isn't terrible, and the engine is extremely reliable and has a wide availability of aftermarket that can make it a fast street machine for very cheap.

Ford bias aside? Really?

The Mustang II is absolute garbage. It was a Pinto wearing a Mustang suit and thought it was good. I honestly can't think of anything redeeming about the car and anyone who would buy a Mustang II over an actual Mustang to to make a fast street machine is an idiot.
