I'll have the Morgan. It looks a lot better; the Weismann just looks like a halfway done kit car.
 
Wiesmann VS Morgan

Wiesmann in electric blue please :D

In my eyes it looks utterly fantastic!
 
Neither for me. Don't really like them that much, and the 2012 tries too hard to mimic the '30s and '40s. If I want a car that looks like that I'll get one from back then.
 
Sorry for not replying in a while, things got busy with school. I'm back, though!

BMW M3 E46 vs Hyundai Genesis Coupe -
Ok, this is extremely difficult for me; I am a fan of the classic bimmers, however I adore the looks of the Genesis. Ugh... If I had to choose one, I would probably take the BMW. I say this because it had more value when new: better interior, better engine, better sound, better power, better handling, etc. Not sure what else to say about this comparison, so I'll just move on before I change my mind.

Massive luxo sedans! -
I love this breed of car, absolutely adore it. If I could, I'd have them all besides the Lexus and Acura. Don't get me wrong, I think the current Lexus models are brilliant, but the earlier models never did it for me. Also, I really hate that Acura :lol:, so those two cars are out. Next out is the Audi; same story as the Lexus, awful old models. Now, BMW or Merc? I can't make this decision, I will take a car with the Merc's looks and BMW everything else.

Lotus Elan vs Kia Elan vs Fiat Barchetta ('95 - '02 and '04 - '05) vs Mini Roadster Cooper '12 -
Well, the fact that I didn't list the Ford shows my opinion towards it, let's steer clear of Capri territory shall we? Kia and Mini are out, simply for being ridiculous and stupid. The Mini is an overpriced Golf, in my opinion, and the Kia is a... Kia. So, Lotus vs Fiat; Fiat wins. I am such a massive Lotus fan, but the Barchetta is just better than the Elan, no question about it. Also, I would take the old Barchetta, I feel it looks better than the newer model.

1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz vs 1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V -
The Eldorado is one of my all-time most hated cars ever. It is big, wobbly and overall bad, however it continues being loved by car enthusiasts. If it didn't get as much popularity as it does, I would not hate it nearly as much as I currently do. That's not the only reason for me choosing the Lincoln, though; I feel that the Lincoln's body shape is much better than the Eldorado's. Therefore, I believe I would choose the Lincoln even if the Eldorado was less popular.

Generic, old Ford pick-up vs Identical generic, old Ford pick-up -
Wow, that title sounds happy, does it not? I can't seem to work out the difference between these two trucks, besides the slight name variation and tire size? Therefore, I shall make this choice based purely on figures, and I choose generic, old Ford pick-up number 2, due to the better towing capacity. Yay for logic, nay for these pick-ups!

Morgan Aero Coupe vs Wiesmann GT MF5 -
Despite the Morgan's later release year, I believe that it is nowhere near as good as the Wiesmann. The Wiesmann is one of my favourite cars, simply due to its great handling capabilities, despite the low power. I have this exact same opinion about the Evora '09, as it is one of the best handling cars in the world with almost no power. So, my choice is the Wiesmann.

So, would you rather have a:

Lotus Evora '09

or

Lotus Exige

or

Wiesmann GT MF5

or

SciYoRu 86-BRS

Easy, the Evora. The Exige is too small, the Weismann too ugly, and the Sciyoru too common.

Just about everything between the 2 is different except for maybe the rear axle and transmission. Nothing is the same.
 
Saying those two trucks are the same is like saying a Ferrari Enzo and Ferrari FXX are the same.


(And no, I'm not inferring that they are super fast)
 
Lotus Evora vs. Lotus Exige vs. Wiesmann GT MF5 vs. Subaru BRZ - BRZ because it's a Subaru (and a Toyota/Scion, but who cares).
 
I'll take the 86/BRZ/FR-S. The Evora is too expensive, the Exige is too hardcore for this group and the Weismann is just out of place.

Sorry, I guess I have no appreciation for these kind of cars. Wasn't there a similar pick-up that was made by DMC?

Woop woop for the Evora!

I actually prefer the Pontiac 455 to all of them really (as far as GM products are concerned). There's actually quite a bit of difference between them all, especially the Buick version. Same with small blocks. I'm more of a small block guy anyways though. If I wanted a big block though, I'd probably start with a 460 or an FE engine, maybe a 534 if I can find one, or maybe a GAA Engine used in Sherman tanks (1,100 cubic inches). Weighs as much as a fully dressed 460 and only slightly larger, but 3x the torque and horsepower (factory stock speaking). Of course, that would be for a toy with a chassis that can withstand torque in amounts equal to the displacement. =P
Wow.... I completely forgot about the Pontiac 455. I don't know why... maybe because I sold my Goat a couple of weeks ago... oh well. A GAA Engine?? Where can you get your hands on one of those?? That would be insane to have in a car.

E46 Hands down

Next up: 90s mid-level luxury sedans.

1995 BMW 530i E34 (3.0 V8, 215 horsepower/214 lb-ft, 3693 lbs)

1995 Audi A6 C4 (2.8 V6, 172 horsepower/184 lb-ft, 3726 lbs)

1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 W124 (3.2 I6, 217 horsepower/229 lb-ft, 3525 lbs)

1995 Lexus GS300 (3.0 I6, 220 horsepower/210 lb-ft, 3660 lbs)

1995 Acura Legend LS (3.2 V6, 200 horsepower/210 lb-ft, 3516 lbs)
I would go for the Benz. Bit more expensive, but it doesn't consume as much and it's definitely worth it.

FWD Roadster this time!

'89-'95 Lotus Elan SE [M100] 1.6L Turbo (155hp)

OR

'96-'99 Kia Elan [M100] 1.8L N/A (150hp)

'95-'02 & '04-'05 Fiat Barchetta 1.8L N/A (130hp)

OR

'12-current MINI Roadster Cooper [R59] 1.6L N/A (120hp)

^ You have to pick at least one! And no, I'm not including the '95-'06 Alfa Romeo GTV Spider [916] simply because everyone will blindly pick it and it would be very, very, very unfair!

;)

Normally I wouldn't consider any FWD car, but the Lotus Elan is a beautiful car. Definitely a true British Sportscar.

Here's another one...

Not that I know of. Those trucks are both Fords :lol: Those trucks were very well built (I know, I own the '85) and would put to shame anything on the road today. Very very versatile vehicles, on and offroad. I've always liked the looks of the square bodied trucks.

Saying those 2 trucks are the same is like telling me a Lamborghini Gallardo is equal to an Aventador. It's just not true :lol:

95 Land cruiser for me Now thats The offroading king
HA.

GAA engines are all over the place, not hard to get a hold of. Cheap too.

...The Mini is an overpriced Golf, in my opinion...

Wait, what?

This is a Volkswagen Golf, it comes from the German brand Volkswagen.

11Volkswagen_GolfTDI.jpg


This is its convertible version.

This is a Mini Cooper, which comes from the British brand Mini, which is owned by the German brand BMW.

Mini and Volkswagen are not related, they are separate brands. Their cars are completely unrelated. I'm not sure where you got the idea, or if it was a very weird typo. :dunce:
 
I'll have the G class. I could care less about the Land Cruiser things and I really don't like Land Rover.

Sorry, but I believe that the Mini is an overpriced Golf. As you mentioned, they are completely unrelated in terms of manufacturing, however I think that you can get more car out of a cheaper Golf than a Mini. Maybe they have different interiors and different handling etc, but they are both hot euro hatches; one of them is just cheaper and better than the other. So, if you get a similar experience in both cars, they can be compared. As I previously mentioned, though, the Golf is cheaper. Thus, the Mini is just a more expensive Golf. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
'09 Evora vs. Exige vs. GT MF5 vs. 86-BRS

Just like my boy Pagey279, I'll take the Wiesmann in electric blue.

Land Rover Defender vs. Toyota Land Cruiser Troop Carrier

I'll take the Defender
 
Definitely, definitely the Ferrari. The Rolls Royce could be a cool car to own, but the 458 would actually be fun. Also, it is 10k cheaper, so I can kit it out a bit more xD
