Would you rather have these three
2014-Mercedes-Benz-E63-AMG-Wagon-front-three-quarter.jpg

2013-bmw-m6-gran-coupe-13.jpg

jaguar_f-type_v8_s.jpg


OR

2012-Aston-Martin-Vanquish-8.jpg


I'd rather have the three than the Aston
 
I'll take the trio, give the Benz to my family, keep the BMW as a daily driver, and the Jag is for showing off/fun
 
I'd take the Aston; I adore the new Aston looks. Also, I am not a fan of BMWs, Convertibles or Estates, so the trio is instantly wiped out. Great idea for a comparison though!
 
MB Wagon, BMW M6, & Jaguar F-Type S vs Aston Martin V12 Vanquish: Definitely the trio. Mainly because I like BMW & Mercedes-Benz a lot more than Aston Martin, I also get more cars to mess with.
 
-> ...
2006 ford gt

2012 aston martin vanquish

2010 lexus lfa

2006 porsche carrera gt

2013 ferrari 458 spider
^ The Ferrari is too common and obvious choice for everyone, so thats out. The AM310 Vanquish is a DBS in drab IMHO, so thats out. At the moment, I have a difficulty between the 980, the GT44, & the LFA...I guess the GT44 gets my vote in a fractions margin! Because unlike the LFA & the 980, I can drive the GT44 everyday almost without a worry and not as fragile per say.


rivera

ford fiesta wrc

vs.

Ford fiesta grc
^ Fiesta WRC, because street legal.

swrc-tanak.jpg



would you rather have...

The porsche 911 gt3 rs (996)

ferrari 360 challenge stradale

the lotus esprit sport 350
^ I have my doubts that I'll fit confortably on the Esprit...So my choice will be the 996.


2004 lotus elise 111r (190hp, mr)

2004 audi tt 1.8t (180hp, awd)
^ Even if the ingress & egress a total pain. I'd take the 111R.


bmw 750i e38

mercedes-benz s500 w140
^ It's very tough to beat Superior (my nickname to the E38) IMHO. :)


1970 austin 1000 mini with 4800 miles for 1400 pounds

or

1970 austin mini mk3 with 100000 miles for 2995 pounds
^ I'd take the Mk3 also, the Austin 1000 is a mothballed car compared to the Mini. At least I can drive the Mk3 normally, not the case in the 1000 thou.


2004 pontiac aztek

or

this pair of roller skates
^ This question again!? Of course the Aztek!


pontiac vibe gt

or

chrysler pt cruiser
^ I've driven both of them. The problem lies on which PTC model it is. But even with the GT model (Neon SRT-4 engine), I'd still pick the Vibe GT simply because of two points: Toyota's 2ZZ Celica GTS/Corolla XRS/Matrix XRS/Elise 111R/Exige engine & M/T. Simple as that! :sly:


would you rather have...

the ford mustang svo

or

the dodge stealth r/t
-> The SVO easy. Although I like the Stealth too, the SVO is much, much more special!


1991 lotus m100 elan turbo se (162hp, i4, 5spd manual)

or

1990 bmw z1 (168hp, i6, 5spd manual)
^ I've seen the Z1 in person back in Manila (rich bastard!), it was so unique I never stopped staring at it! And for that reason, the Z1 is my choice!


Here is a comparison that my friend and i are talking about at the moment. Which is more comfortable (the answer is not 100% reliant on the interior)? A

land rover range rover -
(excuse the images, they are of a range rover sport. I'm just awful at finding good pictures)

or a

ford f-150 raptor -
^ Simply, the Raptor. You can use the SVT way more than what you can use on the LRRR. Plus reliability & maintenance costs doesn't hurt either! ;)


I'll try and make an easy one now. ;)

2005 dodge ram srt-10 single cab

vs

2004 svt lightning

vs

2006 dodge ram srt-10 quad cab

vs

2003 ford f150 harley davidson
^ You didn't state on how are you going to use it for so here is my answer. I'd take the Viper with a bed, that is the SRT-10 single cab. Other trucks are for wimps in comparison...



^ Plus M/T to make it a moustache-worthy hooning!!! :P


i have one which is gonna be a little tough for some of you.

Ferrari 412 (used in daft punk's electroma) sold at auction for $42,000

or

1997 dodge viper ($42,000)
^ Tough!? This is an easy question! I'll take the Viper, that seems like it does not want to have fun, but the Viper will (before it eats up your end and spit it out)!


I haven't done one of these in a long time. Would you rather have a:

2014 mercedes-benz c63 amg saloon

or

2014 bmw m3 saloon

or

2014 lexus is-f saloon

or a

2014 infiniti q50 saloon
^ Since all of them doesn't feature a M/T...I'd pick the Axe Murderer on Wheels which is the C63 Jackhammer!


but wait....
would you rather have:

Fiat doblo

or

mercedes a100
^ Both cars are boring. But I'll pick the A-class simply because of this:

Cone Dodging LIKE A BAWWWSSS!!!
Mercedes-A-Class-roll-over-530x480.jpg


:sly:


Anyway, here's another one from me.

2000 buick regal gs, 2004 dodge stratus r/t, or 2002 chevrolet monte carlo ss?
^ Styling wise? The Stratus R/T. Overall, I'd pick the Regal GS. The Monte Carlo is a mess of a car (I've driven the LS model too!).


would you rather have

a 1990 audi 80 with 25000 miles for 2999 pounds

or

a 1990 bmw 525i with 104300 miles for 2950 pounds

or a 1998 rover 820si with 90958 miles for 1495 pounds
^ My dad used to have an E34 525i M-Sport Pkg. So thats my choice!

based on the bdc mt competition
would you rather have these three

E 63 S AMG Estate

M6 Grand Coupe

F-Type V8S

AM310 Vanquish
^ If that E 63 S doesn't have the 4Matic, that would be my solid choice. If not, the M6 GC is my default choice.




-> My turn this time!

- BMW's long awaited flagship sports car, the i8:
BMW-i8-Prototype-Drive-Review-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg

bmw-i8-prototype-first-drive-by-car-and-driver-64874-7.jpg


- Honda/Acura's long awaited flagship sports car, the NSX:
Acura-NSX-Prototype-higher-res-796x528.jpg

leaked-2015-acura-nsx-patent-image-image-via-car-news-china_100406761_m.jpg


- Both are Hybrid Sports Cars.
- Both will have similar price ranges (USD$130K-$250).
- Both might have similar release dates.
- Both will be marketed Globally.

- One is RWD & one is AWD.
- One looks like a M1 Homage & one is a chopped TL that looks like an Audi.
- One is a pure German built car & one is technically an American car.
- One is the one I quite like & the one that I loathe a lot (NXS)!

Why risk crashing an expensive car when you can walk? Unless he had winter tyres fitted, he's a sensible guy. A heavy Range Rover on wide, low-profile tyres is not the best choice for driving in snow.

Yes he did have snow tyres on it. And the roads were clear except for a less than an inch at the side. Other people in normal cars had no problem getting about. Plus he lived around 3 miles away and he's a few years away from retirement. But it was more to do with the fact he didn't realise it was more than capable of doing the journey.

Would you rather have these three

OR
Aston.

I'd have to go with the three but I'd barely use the BMW.

- BMW's long awaited flagship sports car, the i8:
- Honda/Acura's long awaited flagship sports car, the NSX:

I'll take the BMW.
 
I'll have the A-Class, 525 E34, RR Phantom

Trio vs. AM310 Vanquish: Interesting challenge, but a tough one here.... I'll go with the Trio. The Benz will be a sleeper wagon running 500+hp, the BMW a DD and the F-Type as my weekend/track car. 👍

BMW i8 vs. Honda/Acura NSX: Tough choice here, ummmmm.... I'll take the NSX.
 
Trio v. Aston: I'll take the three cars. No reason to really explain...

Beat v. Cappuccino: I'll have the Cappuccino. Although I don't really know why...
 
I'd have the NSX. I'm not sure which kei car to choose, I like them both. The Cappucinno is great looking, but the the Beat is probably more fun to drive. So I'd have the Beat.
 
Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate/BMW M6/Jaguar F-Type vs. Aston Martin Vanquish - I love the Vanquish, but there's no way I'm taking it over three cars.

BMW i8 vs. Honda NSX - i8, I love the looks of it.

Honda Beat vs. Suzuki Cappuccino - Cappuccino, it looks better and is 77 lb lighter.
 
BMW i8 vs Honda NSX Gen III -
I'll take the NSX, although if it was my money, I'd probably buy a C63 AMG instead. The i8 is suffering from the same problem that the GT by Citroen has: it looks massive. I hate the looks of the Citroen GT and this i8 seems almost identical in that respect. The NSX, on the other hand, seems more nimble and even the design on the front of the car is gorgeous. So that is my choice.

Honda Beat vs Suzuki Capuccino -
Sigh... I'll take the Beat because it looks less safe than the Capuccino, so hopefully I'll die while driving it. Why do these cars exist?
 
Why do these cars exist?

Kei cars were orignally made to promote Japan to get motorized, they have many tax and registration benefits due to their small size and very limited displacement. I would love to drive one around the states just for the looks it would get.

BMW i8 vs Honda NSX Gen III -
Tough call I dont like ether. I hate how Honda took the NSX from its roots so I will have to go BMW.

Honda Beat vs Suzuki Capuccino -
Capuccino would be my pick.

Definitely the Cappuccino. If not because it's named after coffee, then for this:

Also the Cappuccino is a rarer and more expensive (here) vehicle with a higher resale value.
 
GTPlanet regards these cars as equal, or used to back in '09-'10, lets see if it still holds true now.
