Guess I'll throw one in:

Dodge Stratus

OR

Ford Taurus

Even though I hate the design of the Gen III Taurus, I rather have one of those than a late 90s stratus. That car was just plain boring. Anyway, I'll take a SHO version of the Taurus please.
 
Nissan Elgrand, it's sort of like a luxury/exec van (if that makes any sense). I'd rather have a Toyota Vellfire over them both though.

Ford Taurus, seems like a less boring car. The Stratus looks really uninspiring.
 
Both the Stratus and Taurus look old but I think a Stratus can age better. Personally, I'd prefer the Jaguar XJ rather than the 2 domestic cars.
 
Both are bad but I'd rather have the Taurus. The Stratus is a POS.

Ewwwwwwww. For the question both aren't very good so I will kick Taurus sadly even that gen SHO wasn't very good.
 
SVT Cobra GT
Would you care to explain yourself? :sly:

Time to hit Netflix or YouTube. :p

Euro Fords: Hmmm, I'll go for the Capri and do what Slash said, put a Escort RS 2L Turbo or a 302ci V8 in it.

Vantage7825
Chrysler Atlantic Concept or Audi quattro Spyder Concept?

The Audi wins hands down!

Dracia vs. Lada: That Lada is ugly! I'll have the Dracia easily.

Wagons: The Volvo wins easily, can't get over these cars sometimes.

AC vs. C1 Corvette: Tough choice, but I'll go for the Iconic legend, the C1.

Mustang Mach 1 vs. Trans-Am Firebird WS6: Ugh, this is hard! Ummmmm..... The Trans Am hands down! Because LS1 and T-Tops! :trouble:👍 I gotta get one one day.
 
That Skyline is neat looking what year/trim is it?

That's a C110, though I've never seen the four door before. Proportions look off compared to the GT-R!

Despite the extra doors, that generation's still one of my favourite older Japanese models, so I'd take the Nissan.

I thought it looked a bit funky but I coulnd't put my finger on it. Guess it was the extra doors.
 
Here's another one for you guys to discuss...both pre-owned cars for sale in my area.

Personally, I would take the McLaren. I love the Lambo, but the McLaren is absolutely stunning, especially with that combination of color.

Haven't done one for a while;

Euro Fords;

Lotus Cortina

or

Sierra XR4i

or

Escort RS2000 MK2

or

Capri 2.8 Injection
^ I go with the Escort, it perfectly matches with the Box-Type Lancer I posted earlier! :D

-> But the Capri is tantilizingly good! 👍



Dacia Duster

OR

Lada Niva

^ My respect with the Lada is very high. But, GREAT NEWS! I'll pick the Dacia simply because it's easier to live with and a pretty competent vehicle overall!


Ford LTD Country Squire

or

Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon
^ Easy, the Volvo for sure! Because I could get one with a M/T. Simple as that! Would be stupid fun in the rain!!! :dopey:


2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1

Vs

1999 Pontiac Trans Am WS6
^ Oooohhhh! The WS.6 is my favorite 4th-gen F-body while the Mach is very desirable! I'd pick the Mach in a very narrow margin, simply because the stereotypical 4th F-body drivers in Vegas are typical douchebags & egotastical pricks!


Nissan Elgrand

or

Chrysler Town and Country
^ The Elgrand easy! In the US, it's been re-packaged as the mind-numbing Quest. But no fear, with enough $$$$ you can convert it into the Elgrand of your own!!!

^ I'll pick the McDiddy. It's much better as a daily driver than the Lambo ever will be and faster too if you poke it a bit...in comparison the Mc is a better value too!

DB7 GT. I've always had a soft spot for it, and it's design is timeless. Plus you're still getting a proper V12 GT car, available with a manual if you want. Which I do.
 
Ford LTD Country Squire
or
Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon

I'll go with the Volvo. My grandparents had one of these when I was a kid. It went everywhere and must have done a million miles and never went wrong.

Skyline. Looks better.

I do love a bright green Lamborghini but not that particular one when compared to a McLaren. McLaren it is.

You 🤬 this one was very hard.

I'll go with the Vanquish S with 6-Speed. I fell in love with that Vanquish ever since I saw Die Another Day.

1st- Vanquish S
2nd - Vanquish

8th - Vantage S

10th - DB7
11th - Virage
12th - Rapide S
 
New Vanquish easily even though I like all of them, I'll pick the Gallardo then add a UGR twin turbo kit to it.
 
1. DBS with 6 M/T
2. V12 Vantage
3. Virage/DB9 with 6 M/T
4. DB9 with 6 M/T
5. Vanquish 6 M/T
6. DB7 Vantage with 6 M/T
7. Rapide S
8. Rapide
9. V12 Vantage S
10. Vanquish (old)
11. DB7 GT
12. Vanquish (new)

Now, I'd better explain. I'm a huge, huge Aston Martin fan. If I could own one car, it would be the DBS with a manual. However, to me, Astons are about two things: beauty,a nd teh driving experience. Therefore, I feel that a manual transmission is a must in a sporty Aston. It's never going to come close to a Ferrari on a track, but on a twisty road you should be able to have just as much fun in the Aston, and should be stunning to look at. The DBS does all of that. The V12 Vantage, too, is great to drive and is gorgeous. I like the DB9, so it comes next. The Vanquish with a manual sounds pretty nice,a nd while I don't find it as pretty as the DB9, it's still utterly gorgeous. Finally comes the DB7. It's great on the oustide, but I don't like the interior much, so it's down at the bottom. The reason that the Vantage S and new Vanquish are down so low is because I don't likethe idea of a paddle shift Aston, and the Vanquish doesn't seem to be very sporting.

Also, I'd have the Macca.
 
Nissan Skyline C110 4-Door vs VW Passat; The Skyline. I don't think I could ever see myself picking a VW over a skyline.

Mclaren MP4-12c vs Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SL; The Gallardo, because I love lamborghinis and the Gallardo is my favorite.

Aston Martin V12s; The Vantage S for me.
 
Anyways, would you rather have:


2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1


Vs



1999 Pontiac Trans Am WS6

I'll take the Pontiac, the design is better. Most importantly, though, you get POP-UP HEADLIGHTS! I also quite like the idea of owning a car that was made by a now non-existent company, it adds a certain uniqueness to the car.

Nissan Elgrand

or

Chrysler Town and Country[/QUOTE]

Town and Country, I quite like to look respectable while I drive. A "car" with that front end deserves the scrap yard, despite the fantastic interior.

[quote="Zyla, post: 8799117"]Dodge Stratus

OR

Ford Taurus[/QUOTE]

I prefer the looks of the Stratus (but only just), however I suspect it will be awful to drive. Based on that, I will pick the bug-eyed Taurus. SHO model please?

[quote="phil bell, post: 8799146"]Nissan Elgrand, it's sort of like a luxury/exec van (if that makes any sense). I'd rather have a Toyota Vellfire over them both though. [/QUOTE]

I don't understand, is this a premature April Fools joke?

Vw_passat_b1_v_sst.jpg

I'll take the Skyline, I hate that generation of Passats. The Skyline is quite stunning though, one of the few cars from that generation that I adore (besides good ol' muscle cars, of course).

Here's another one for you guys to discuss...both pre-owned cars for sale in my area.

2012 McLaren MP4-12C - $201,999 - 817 miles

2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera - $201,950 - 3,422 miles

I love the McLaren MP4-12C, so that's my choice. Also, I can't imagine driving a SuperLeggera every day, you might shatter your everything. The McLaren is surprisingly comfortable, I've heard, as well as being a gorgeous and fast car. That engine is also a behemoth, I love the sound!

I'm so glad this comparison came along, thank you!

I can't appreciate the look of the older Astons, so that immediately removes the DB7s from the lineup, and the same goes for the Vanquishes (besides the new model). So, what we have are: Vanquish, DB9, DB9S, Virage, Rapide, Rapide S, Vantage and the Vantage S. I don't know whether the Vantages are V12 or V8, but if I can't have the V12 Vantage, I won't pick any of the V8 ones. So, the V8 Vantages are out. If they are V12 Vantages though, they're still out because they were upgraded in a really awful way; the powerband is awful and so is the transmission (or so I've heard). The DB9 is a car that I adore, but it doesn't stack up to its competition. The Vanquish looks terrific, but I can't imagine driving it every day; a speck of dirt on it would drive me crazy. The Rapides are made for luxury and transportation, as they have 4 doors; I don't want that in an Aston. That leaves the DB9S and the Virage...

I have loved the DBS for such a long time, but the Virage is one of the best looking cars money can buy. Knowing myself, I wouldn't want to take an Aston to a race track, so speed is irrelevant. This means that I will take the Virage and enjoy every second I have in it. Mwah, my pretty...

^ I deeply agree on what you said. And people around me bunks my car choices simply because I only pick a certain car because it has M/T...

Save the Manuals!

-> And besides, my top 3 Aston picks are:

1. Vanquish S 6M/T AMW
2. Vantage 6MT
3. DB9S 6MT
