Manual Conversion Option
^ My perfect Aston, along with the V12 Vantage of course!
Taurus - U.S. Mashall (LV), Moapa-Paiute, & Pahrump
Charger - LV Metro, & NHP
Caprice - NHP, Henderson
^ My choice would be the Caprice and the Charger. The Caprice scares the 🤬 out of me, while the Charger is the fast one! The Taurus is just wrong looking, I'm kinda glad the LVMPD chose the Explorer.
^ As much as I liked the Diablo back in the day, it was no McLaren F1. I'll take the Vanquish S easy and take it back to Aston Martin and do this option:
Manual Conversion Option
^ My perfect Aston, along with the V12 Vantage of course!
^ In Las Vegas, I've seen all of them in police guises:
Taurus - U.S. Mashall (LV), Moapa-Paiute, & Pahrump
Charger - LV Metro, & NHP
Caprice - NHP, Henderson
^ My choice would be the Caprice and the Charger. The Caprice scares the 🤬 out of me, while the Charger is the fast one! The Taurus is just wrong looking, I'm kinda glad the LVMPD chose the Explorer.
^ Uh, I like the styling of the Suburban and its engine, while I like the Expeditions interior flexibility and ride. But I pick neither, but why did I reply you say? Simply because I'd like to mention Expedition's 2014 model, on which Ford might offer its EcoBoost or the 5.0 V8...but thats just a maybe...
^ I'd take both. The longer I know about the Fiesta ST, the more I like it. The Capri on the other hand is a (very) suave cruiser these days.
^ Ugh, tough choice! I simply love the EcoBoost and Sierra's overall profile. But I pick neither, why? Why should I get a LuxoBarge on which their main purpose is to get dirty and get the work done.
^ I'd rather get the M6 GC than an M5, plus it's M/T is more of an after thought. The Jaaaaagggggg is meh for me. The RS6 is juicy, but I'm afraid that it might be a snoozer to drive despite being a missile. The E63 were getting in the US will be a 4-Matic so no hoonage factor there. So my choice would be the HSV, at least I have the option of a true M/T and it delivers true drivers pleasure!
^ I'd pick the Ranger this time. The Colorado is somewhat under-engineered from the start and plain looking. While the Ranger can be turned into a toy anytime!
^ Way wha!? Of course the GTO all the way! I've driven it and it was heaven of a muscle car! So tactile and balanced, it can adjust to your driving style whenever you want it and it would not complain! It's a 4D experience! While this was my favorite SN-95 ever, its just doesn't match up against the Monaro GTO in overall balance, it somewhat more one dimentional...but thats just me.

What's with all the arrows in your posts?
Mustang vs. M3
If the M3 in this comparison is a convertible the asnwer is easy; I do not want a 3-Series convertible, ever. That's what the Z4 is for. If it's a hardtop, that makes it a very tough choice. Both are great looking; the M3 is timeless, the Mustang is menacing. The M3 has the better interior, much better than the Mustang. But the Mustang will go faster, and will sound great. Of course, the M3 doesn't have a bad exhaust note either, and it handles better. Since it's a better all around car, I'll take the M3.
S60 vs. FX37
The hell kinda comparison is this? The FX is a nice crossover, but the first generation was much better looking, though the current model isn't bad in black. But the S60 is a much nicer looking car, inside and out, especially inside. It's faster, will handle better, and still has enough practicality for me.
Sandcat vs. Bearcat
I'll take the Oshkosh Sandcat, just so I can shave the top off the second o in Oshkosh, turning it into the Oshkush.
Suburban vs. Expedition
Both of these are attractive SUVs in their own different way. The Expedition is more classic, with its two tone color scheme and more traditional, tall lines, whereas the Suburban is a more contemporary design that just looks better. The Expedition's age shows inside, where it really isn't as nice as the previous generation's commodious, higher quality digs. The Suburban has a more bland design inside, but I'm willing to bet it's of higher quality, and it'll age better. The Expedition is also held back by its aging Triton V8, which although is very good for torque, only pumps out 310 horsepower. I don't know the exact specs on the Suburban, but even in 5.3 guise I know it makes more power. I'll take the Chevrolet.
Sierra vs. F-150
Tough one. The new Sierra's a pretty attractive truck, but compared to the F-150 it doesn't look as clean. For an exterior design that's evolved very little in nine years, the F-150 still looks relevant. The interior's not quite as high quality as the Sierra's, but it's still pretty good. I'd take the F-150, in bright blue with a quad cab and the 5.0.
M5 vs. XFR-S vs. RS6 Avant vs. CLS63 AMG vs. HSV
The Audi is immediately out because even though the manual V8 rear wheel drive Jalopnik elitists will have you know that it is the king of sleepers, just looking at it makes me sleepy, so screw that. The sedan version is much better in that regard. The M5's out because the last one I liked was the E39. The HSV is out because I'd rather get a Chevy SS and apply gofast parts if I see it necessary. The XFR-S is the only version of the XF I like, but it's out because the much more attractive CLS63 exists. The Mercedes has it beat as far as interior accomodations go, too.
Colorado vs. Ranger
The Ranger's a pretty boring little truck, but it's also a respectable truck, although I do fall in the category that's pissed at Ford for not bringing over its superior non-US market Ranger. The Ranger may be blah, but at least it's not undesirable like the Colorado, with its odd engine choices, questionable interior and not so attractive looks. The Ranger's the safer, better choice, and it wouldn't look too bad blacked out with a minor lift.
GTO vs. Mustang
I hate the GTO. I just can't get past how bland it looks, and the interior is just...no. It's barely distinguishable from any other GM blob of the time, which is alright if you don't want the police taking notice every time you leave your garage, although they just might with that LS2, which is a redeeming quality for the car. But I just can't have a car that has a bad interior, and a bad exterior. The Mustang has a bad interior too, but at least the exterior's better.

Tough call. The Jeep's 4.0L is easily one of the best inline 6's ever built and that model is pretty solid in itself. As my uncle and friends have and have had them they are a solid and reliable SUV. This makes it hard to choose between the Explorer as the others to me are obsolete. The Explorer has greater potential I think because of the ability to swap in the famous 302ci 5.0L V8 that was offered in this regardless. The bigger 351W can easily be bolted in and while a 318 or 360 can be swapped in the Cherokee, aftermarket isn't as strong and while they may be just as reliable as the Ford engines, it isn't a direct bolt in as would be the Explorer, let alone have an ECU that supports EFI systems if you chose to go the fuel injection route. My vote goes to the Explorer after a long hard thought because I feel it has more offroading potential and may be more fun on the street if you are willing to do an engine swap.

^ So these are my final three, since all of them have M/T.
-> The Explorer is out simply because it looks like a blob out of the three and have a tendency to roll over like a cute puppy. The Nissan is a real global ute (Terrano in global market speak), but I can't get pass to that anemic engine! And the Cherokee is crude like and ancient artifact! My pick would be the Cherokee & Pathfinder, these guys are the tried and true workhorses. Plus they can be easily modified to your preference!

4Runner/Hilux by far. Very close with that car, lots of my friends and family have had one, great off road and very reliable (not just because of Top Gear either). Would get rid of the auto asap though (and no, I'm not one of those argh manual everything! guys).

I would think the two cars being compared would at least be similar in price, which would mean the S60 T6 would be compared to the FX37. The S60 T6 AWD goes from 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds, the R-Design does it in 5.1. The FX37 AWD goes from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds.

Interesting. I thought the FX37 does it in 5.5.

If we're going by TTAC stats, the S60 T5 AWD does 0 to 60 in 5.93 seconds, the T6 AWD in 5.67, and the T6 AWD R-Design in 5.05 seconds, faster than the FX37. This is also the model that lines up the best with the FX37's base price. This is also the car pictured in the comparison, though the specific model isn't specified.
