CRX vs CRZ: No contest for me, the CRX is my favorite Honda.

Pontiac Trans Am vs Ford Mustang: I like both of them to be honest, but if i had to pick it would be the Mustang.

Chevrolet K1500 vs Ford F250: The F250 i guess, only because i prefer the front end to the chevy.

S65 AMG vs CTS-V: The S65 AMG, that turbocharged V12 :D

NSX vs Porsche 911: Not too keen on Porsche's, so the NSX will be the one., i've loved ever since i played GT1 on the Clubman route
 
CR-X vs CR-Z: CR-Z since it's the only hybrid I like. I haven't seen many CR-X's in the UK.

S65 vs CTS-V: S65, more luxurious, more comfortable, more gadgetry, and monstrously fast.

NSX vs 911: Porsche, it's been the sports car benchmark for years. NSX is simply too over-hyped and doesn't do everyday useability as good as the 911.
 
Honda CRX SiR vs. Honda CR-Z - CR-Z, because sport hybrid.

1979 Pontiac Trans-Am Firebird vs. 1969 Ford Mustang - Mustang, easy.

Chevrolet K1500 350 5.7 V8 vs. Ford F-250 4X4 460 7.5 V8 - Ford, looks a lot better.

Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG vs. Cadillac CTS-V - AMG, because not a new American car.

Acura NSX T vs. Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe - NSX. It's an NSX....

Range and Lex are in a different class than the other two in every aspect, including price so they can't be compared. That said, considering Lex VS Range it't tough but without consideration for reliability it has to be the range, especially with the LX looking pretty dated by now

^ Very skewed choices here...I'd also pick the Rangie on this one.
 
Infiniti, I don't know anything about either of them but the Infiniti doesn't look as bad.
 
Including the Range Rover and Lexus I would take the Range Rover, excluding them I would take the Infinti becuase of what KingJosh said.
 
I've driven both at Skip Barber and both were a blast, I'd have to go for the MX-5 though.
 
That one is really hard, the rx8 isnt that fast so it comes down to fun, which the NC must be but I'll still go with the rx8 Because Of practicality and that cool rotary sound. Also it must be a pretty good rx8 if it's in the price range of a new miata

-> And your JX35 will be called QX60 soon...I really don't like this new Infiniti naming scheme. :indiff:

^ If I was given a choice, I choose neither. For the price, I'd still pick the Ford Flex. :indiff:

^ If the Miata/MX-5 was the PHRT/Roadster Coupe, then I'd pick the Miata. If not, I'd pick the RX-8.
 
CRX vs CR-Z

I'm actually a fan of the CR-Z, though I'd rather it not be a hybrid, and it should be a little more powerful. But it looks great, has that nice futuristic Honda interior, people say it handles nicely, only problem is it's a hybrid and it's slow. The CRX, especially the SiR is one of my favorite front wheel drive vehicles. Like the CR-Z, it looks great, is good fun to drive and should last forever. So, the CRX, because it looks a little better, is more fun to drive, and importantly isn't a hybrid.

Firebird vs Mustang

While it's a nice car, I've never been that into Mustangs. They just seem so common, so popular, so been there, done that. The novelty has worn off, and they're sort of just normal cars. But the Trans Am, with all its 185 horses of fat fury is just cool. Looks awesome inside and out, you almost never see them in real life or at car shows, and they have T-Tops, which is like having a convertible without having a leaky soft top or an awkward looking moving hardtop. So, Trans Am.

Chevrolet K1500 vs Ford F250

Not quite fair, but whatever. I don't know a whole lot about either of them, and I have no particular bias towards either, so I'll go with the Ford for the sole reason that it's giant, has a huge engine, and would probably look great with a set of Confederate flag mudflaps.

S65 AMG vs CTS-V

The Mercedes costed $200k new, has a six liter V12 that makes six hundred horsepower, is immensely luxurious, looks fabulous, and has way more gadgets to awe over. It's also one of my favorite cars, ever. So, the Merc.

NSX vs Porsche

Well that's not particularly fair either, but I'd still take the NSX, because it's a little more special, has T-Tops (!), sounds nice (of course, so does the Porsche), and is just more supercar-like but without the traditional supercar drawbacks.

MDX vs JX35 vs Range Rover vs LX570

Again, not really fair; the MDX and JX35 should be their own would you rather, so I'll treat it as such. The MDX looks pretty meh inside and out, doesn't seem to have many redeeming qualities other than safety and reliability, isn't that comfortable from when I rode in one, albeit in the middle seat, and hardly seems like an all new model. Despite the fact that it's a CVT, the JX35 appeals to me for some reason. It looks fat, but yet it still looks good, and the interior looks nice. It looks nice and raised up compared to most crossovers that are starting to look like old Subaru Foresters; kind of SUV-looking, but with ground clearance more akin to a sedan. I've yet to warm up to the new Range Rover, and I do have a bias for Lexus. The LX570 looks fantastic inside and out, has a great engine, has great offroad abilities (I'd never take an $80k SUV off the pavement though), and despite having loads of nice gadgets, will still be very dependable and will likely outlast my children's children's children.

RX-8 vs MX-5

Rotary engines have never particularly appealed to me. I don't like the sound, they're not very torquey, and they don't seem very practical. The RX-8 never really looked right, being some sort of awkward coupe-looking thing that looks like it was half-assed into a sedan-ish thing halfway through, and the interior is kinda meh. It doesn't seem like an appropriate successor to the purist RX-7. Now the MX-5, I love those things. They look cool, they drive great, they're not punishingly spartan but also not overly luxurious. They're simple in a classy way, and they're one of my favorite roadsters.

Here's a car comparison you may have to make in sixty years, in Florida:

Cadillac Deville, front wheel drive but ample power.

Cadillac-DeVille_2002_photo_03.jpg


Lincoln Town Car, V8 rear wheel drive combo that car enthusiasts never shut up about, but not quite as powerful.

Or the Japanese alternative, the Avalon.

I'd rather have none of those but I rode in a town car once and it felt like I was floating above the road so that's my choice
