The Vanishing Boy
^ Neither. In Vegas, the 458 is practically everywhere and so synonimous, ugh! The McDiddy though (as oppose the McDaddy F1), a better everyday car overall...but it has that GT-R Syndrome on which it aims to be perfect at the expense of fun to drive factor. I'd still pick the Gallardo LP550-2 M/T or a R8 5.2 M/T. :indiff:

This sums up why the MP4-12C doesn't interest me. It seems almost too perfectly calculated and meticulous, too good. It doesn't have the ridiculous factor of a supercar. Cars can be be nearly perfect and be interesting; 80s Mercs are pretty interesting.
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned the Mercedes SLS. Even if I have to go to a driver training programme to be skilled enough for it, it's easily what I'd pick of the current crop of supercars.

As for the midsized mediocre sedans, give me the Pontiac. Not all stuff I've heard about it is bad and it doesn't look excessively boring either.
 
^ Well, I think the SLS is a Viper with a V8, A/T, and a badge.

:indiff:

-> But I like the SLS 63 AMG Roadster though. :sly:
 
A lot of choices, here we go....

W211 E55 AMG vs. C5 Audi RS6: Tough one, both are good cars and have V8s. I'll take them both and save up $$$$ for mods. ;)

458 Italia vs. MP4-12C: Ummmm.... They are good cars from what I heard from reviews, but I like the Mc MP4 the most..... Heck, I'll take both! :D

Midsize Sedans: Grand Am any day of the week, Period! Love that car, especially the coupe version. :)
 
M3 VS S4

s4.

Shelby Daytona VS Shelby Cobra

BOTH. to hard to pick

'67 GT500 VS '69 GT500

'67 because it was the best shape before they went funny.

Golf R VS Mazdaspeed 3

Mazdaspeed 3, because there quite rare in my area. And I like them.

850Ci VS G37

850ci. I want to get one when im older. Love the lines

FR-S VS RX-8 VS S2000

S2000, because im a Honda fanatic.

RS6 VS E55

RS6

458 VS MP4-12C
458
 
Buick Century v. Ford Taurus v. Pontiac Grand Am v. Oldsmobile Intrigue

Definitely not the Buick, I can't fit in it (my friend has one). Not the Taurus, it's crap (my friend has one). I guess I'll go with the Pontiac (my friend has one, but the coupe), it's an OK car. I don't know anything about the Oldsmobubble.
 
F-Type VS 911: F-Type, I think it's an excellent looking car, as are most Jags of late. I've become less and less interested in Porsche's over the years too.

M3 VS S4: Neither are terribly exciting for me, but probably the S4.

Shelby Daytona VS Shelby Cobra: The Daytona, the Cobra, or rather it's replicas, are mostly driving by grey haired men, wearing some gaudy baseball style hat, and gold sunglasses around here. I've only ever seen one Daytona at a car show, but I always thought it was pretty cool. I don't think I'd drive it though if I had one.

Golf R VS Mazdaspeed 3: The Golf, I think the Mazda is one of the worst designed vehicles currently on the road today.

FR-S VS RX-8 VS S2000: S2000, I don't ever want a rotary engine and the FR-S is just something I can't get myself liking.

458 VS MP4-12C Both are pretty cool, but I think I'd rather have the McLaren because based on all the reviews and tests I've read on it, it seems like it would be better to live with.

Buick Century v. Ford Taurus v. Pontiac Grand Am v. Oldsmobile Intrigue: The Intrigue, it's sort of an interesting car because Oldsmobile tried to make it sporty. While not as interesting as the Aurora was, it still wasn't a bad car. It also had a Northstar V8 with 2 cylinder lopped off in it creating the Shortstar V6.
 
F-Type vs 911: Jaguar, it sounds better than the 911 and looks better.

Shelby Daytona Coupe vs Cobra: Daytona. It was the last car to go unrestricted on UK roads when they apparently tested one at 190 mph on the M1.

Golf R vs Mazda 3 MPS: Golf, 4WD, DSG and discreet looks destroy the Mazda's FWD and gawping mouth.

FR-S vs RX-8 vs S2000: FR-S; the Honda is old hat and over-hyped, the Mazda is too uneconomical and drinks too much oil.

458 vs MP4-12C: Ferrari as it has the design flair that the McLaren doesn't. The MP4-12C is just a little boring and it sounds nowhere near as good.

BMW 850Ci vs Infiniti G37: BMW, simply as it has a V12 and pop-up headlights.

Audi RS6 vs Mercedes E55: Audi, the Quattro system will help to cover ground on country roads a lot better than the Merc.

BMW M3 E90 vs Audi S4: BMW, as it would be better for driving enjoyment than the S4.
 
Battle of the beige american sedans.

I'll take the oldsmobile, I don't know why but I always loved Oldsmobile even though they were nothing special. (Except for the 442)
 
Probably the Grand Am and then the Taurus. Always liked those Grand Ams especially in red. Only wish it was built differently, RWD with a V8.
 
1967 Shelby GT500 vs. 1969 Shelby GT500 - 1967 because 1st gen.

Volkswagen Golf R vs. Mazda Mazda3 MPS - Golf R. Better looks, better history.

BMW 850ci vs. Infiniti G37 Coupe - 850, because it's way more of a head turner, and it's rare.

Scion FR-S vs. Mazda RX-8 R3 vs. Honda S2000 - S two thousand. It's more fun based on what I've seen.

Audi RS6 vs. Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG - Oooh, a tough one. I'll go for the Merc because it's slightly newer and is an AMG.

Ferrari 458 Italia vs. McLaren MP4-12C - Honestly I'd rather have a WRX...xD. But I'll take the 458 because of it's absolutely stunning looks.

Buick Century vs. Ford Taurus vs. Pontiac Grand Am vs. Oldsmobile Intrigue - Well, the Olds is out because, well, Olds, and the Century is out because I don't want to feel like a 68 year old. Between the Taurus and the GA I'd take the Grand Am, because it's the most sporty looking (and probably the sportiest) and it wouldn't make me look old.
 
2013 Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG Coupe MSRP: $213,200 USD

2011 or older Bentley Continental Supersports

Mercedes. If it was the GT speed I'd have the Bentley, but the Merc is more luxurious and has rear wheel drive.
 
As much as I'd love the Benz, the resale on it would be much worse than even the Bentley probably. Plus, if you're into the 200s, might as well go big and go with a high end Lux automaker (I know Benz is high end, just not as special).
 
Bentley, all the way.
A Merc is just a Merc to me, might as well get a C63 AMG for all I care. The Bentley I think would feel much more special to drive and own.
 
I'll take the Merc simply because of that twin turbo V12 and 738 ft-lbs of torque.
 
Bentley, the roads here in PA are 🤬 during the winter, and even with snow tires the Merc wouldn't cut it.
 
Beeblebrox237
Snow tyres?
Click to expand...

That's just normal. In fact, it's illegal to drive on anything but snow tires from december to march here in Quebec. I'm talking about real snow tires, not four-season crap tires.

Yeah I know, truly horrible climate. Summer lasts about two months and then it's winter knocking on the door.:scared:


But to get back on the cars, on the same tires in the middle of a snow storm the Benz would be stuck spinning it's rear wheels in agony while the Bentley does donuts around it.
 
If I can have the designo leather with it, and choose the color/trim combos, the Mercedes.
Because the Mercedes is just so obscene, huge body, rwd, big power all in a fairly sedate looking package.
And speccing it up yourself creates a bespoke feeling allowing it to close up to the Bentley abit.
 
Mercedes CL vs. Bentley Super Sports: Hmmmm.... Tough one, since they are powerful luxury coupes. One is a RWD, V12 TT with torque and the other AWD, W12 TT...... I'll take both of them! :)
 
Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Coupe vs. Bentley Continental Supersports - The SS would be more of a head-turner if you're not a car guy/girl.
 
Isn't the SS a bit faster than the merc or are they both limited to 155? I'd probably still take the SS.
