Would you rather?

[Slash]

I absolutely adore pickup trucks but the new Chevies are hideous. If it was the GMC model not so much.

Easily the Impala.

 

[GranTurismo916]

BMW 535d M Sport Touring vs. Jaguar XF 3.0D S Sportbrake vs. Mercedes-Benz CLS350 CDI Shooting Brake - That's a hard one. They're all stunning. But I'll go with the Jaaaag because it's a Jaaaag and no one would have another Jaaaag that looks like that Jaaaag.

Chevrolet Silverado High County vs. Chevrolet Impala LTZ - I don't want a truck. Ever. In my life. I will never drive a truck. No. Please, the Impala....

Another Comparo:
2014 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ - MSRP $22,140, 2.5L 197 hp I4 (MSRP unknown)

2014 Ford Fusion S - MSRP $21,900, 175 hp 2.5L I4

 

[VanquishedFox]

I'd go for the Malibu. It looks more refined in my opinion.

 

[Starciller]

Malibu just $240 more and you get 22 more HP so why not.

 

[funnyguy344]

Okay How bout a

2013 chevy cruze LTZ RS MSRP 17k

Or an 2013 Chevy Sonic RS 14k

 

[AzNTypeR]

Okay How bout a

2013 chevy cruze LTZ RS MSRP 17k

Or an 2013 Chevy Sonic RS 14k

OR an 2014 Chevrolet SS 40K

Your comparisons are actually getting ridiculous now.

Your asking us to choose between a $14k Sonic RS and a $40k SS?

They're not even in the same price range; heck, you could buy nearly 3 Sonics for the price of 1 SS!

I was thinking the same thing about the truck vs car.

But to answer the question the Cruze, I rode in one before and liked the feel if the car but it did have a bit of a whistle from the windshield don't know why though.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Malibu vs Fusion: The Malibu isn't available in the UK but the Fusion is coming here in 2014 as the new Mondeo, so I'll take the Fusion.

 

[funnyguy344]

I would take the sonic just because of size issues and me 300lb its kinda hard to sit in the cruze but the sonic has big windows and better for bigger people.

 

[VanquishedFox]

Here's one; 2011 Models:

2011 BMW M3 GTS for $130,000

2011 Porsche 911 Turbo for $122,000

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 Coupe for $133,000

 

[Lock2Lock]

It would be between the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage, but the Aston Martin needs to have the V12. But I would still take the Aston Martin.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Fusion because it's a beautiful car, Cruze because it's not the Sonic, Aston Martin because it's an Aston Martin.

 

[funnyguy344]

OK here one

A 2014 GMC Sierra denali

Or a Chevrolet Silverado High County.

 

[Starciller]

Now you did it right. Il have the GMC. The Chevrolet just looks too shiny in the front and the wheels are just too...sparkly

 

[GranTurismo916]

Chevrolet Cruze LTZ RS vs. Chevrolet Sonic RS - Can you please make real comparisons?

BMW M3 GTS vs. Porsche 911 Turbo vs. Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 - M3, rars and best bang for your buck.

GMC Sierra Denali vs. Chevrolet Silverado High Country - Yay, a real comparison. I'll take the GMC because it's just . It's the only truck I like (I hate trucks).

 

[Slash]

The GMC is much better looking in my opinion. I'll have that.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> ...

And just in case Van, you forgot another badass and respectable concept car.....Mazda Furai. 👍

^ The problem with the Furai is that it was a pure racing car. And unlike the Mazda, the two I mentioned are already legit for road use.

The Vanishing Boy - I've definitely considered the cost of maintaining an old Porsche. From a cost standpoint, they also have the benefit of being one of the few cars that are now appreciating while being new enough to run on unleaded fuel and being fairly efficient about it (as opposed to, say, 60s muscle cars). But I wouldn't go for the 930 turbo and instead opt for the good old, naturally aspirated, air-cooled 911. (Of course the 944 has a water cooled engine up front, but I'd chose a NA engine there, too).

^ I didn't say that you need to get a 930 Turbo (although it would e terrifyingly cool if you do). I keep on calling that bodystyle a 930 simply to keep myslef on track. Any 930 N/A ups the cool factor, although the 944 S (which my mom used to own a very rare Turbo Cabrio) is much more practical and nostalgic ('80s era imports).

As for the FR-S or BRZ, I'd most likely get the Scion because there's an excellent dealer in my area, whereas all but one of the Subaru dealers are run by a chain with very sleazy business practices. The only other dealer is very small and was sold to another local chain a bit ago. I don't know about them, but I did e-mail and ask about the availability of BRZs a while back. Their response was essentially forget it, unless I was willing to pay more over MSRP than anyone else, then they might see what they could do.

^ That is the only downside about the BRZ, Subie dealers always have a knack of conning you a whole lot! Infact, our NPR station doesn't even mention the BRZ on our Subaru of Las Vegas ads!!! Unless you get a BRZ on Carmax.


BT -> ...

1981 LANCIA ZAGATO $4500-$5000

E21 BMW Baur $5500

^ I'd take the E21 Baur, at least I have the confidence of driving it every day. Looking at the Zagato, it seems it's falling apart already!

Would You Rather:

'01 Volkswagen W12 Coupe Concept

or

'05 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

^ Why would I get a car that is not intended for production? Other than to impress Pebble Beach!? No thanks! I'll pick the S7TT, the only chore for it is to find one and buy one!

Turbo diesel wagons

BMW 535d M Sport Touring

Jaguar XF 3.0D S Sportbrake

Mercedes CLS 350 CDI Shooting Brake

^ It's a hard pick between the Bimmer and the Jaaaaaggggg. But I can opt for a 6-speed M/T on the Bimmer, so the M-Sport is my choice!

I'ill say for me it would be


2014 Chevy Silverado high county 62K

Or

2014 chevy Impala LTZ 26,729-42k

^ The Impala seems to be incomplete/unfinished in my book. I'd pick the Silverado.

Okay How bout a

2013 chevy cruze LTZ RS MSRP 17k

Or

2013 Chevy Sonic RS 14k

^ I'd pick the Sonic, It's more tossable/fun everyday plus it's hatch makes it more practical. The Cruze is a quiet borefest. 👎

Here's one; 2011 Models:

2011 BMW (E92) M3 GTS for $130,000

2011 Porsche (997) 911 Turbo for $122,000

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 Coupe for $133,000

^ If that Aston doen't have the V12, forget it! Plus that E92 is only DCT only, ugh! I'd go the 997 anyday! It can be a daily driven badass anyday, anywhere, at anyplace! Plus a 6M/T make it more desirable and more fun! 👍

OK here one

2014 GMC Sierra Denali

Or

Chevrolet Silverado High County

^ To me, the Sierra always win compared to the Silverado. Even if it's the same truck, the GMC is always pleasing to the eyes. While every Silverado (except the GMT400 & the post-facelift GMT800) are exquisitely ghastly!!!

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Fusion- because I drove a rental fusion when my uncle came to visit.

Aston- looks better than the bmw and 911 but I'd like the M3 for a track day car.

Gmc- looks a little bit better than the chevy.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

2013 Audi A1 Clubsport Quattro: ($55k)

OR

2014 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG ($50k)

Personally, I'd pick the Mercedes. What about you guys?

A45, definitely. Supposed to have a great chassis, and a terrific engine.

I'd go with the Mercedes, mostly because I could take more than one friend somewhere, but I'd only want to drive it in the snow (which happens a lot where I live).

How about one I'm actually, can't believe it myself, considering?
2013 Scion FR-S:


Late 80s Porsche 911 Carrera (non turbo)

They are about the same price and have about the same hp.

OR, a Porsche 944 with about $19K left over for maintenance (which could get a new Mazda 3 for everyday driving and going to get parts for the Porsche)

944. With that money I could get a used luxury car to commute in and also upgrade the Porsche.

Here's another one...

1969 Holden HT 350 Monaro GTS

1969 429 Mustang Fastback

That Monaro is nice, but in the end I'd want the Mustang.

AMG & GTS(even though I like the Mustang, it's double the price of the Holden)

1974 HQ V8 Sandman


1974 XB Falcon V8 panel van

No idea. I guess I'd have the Holden.

Since I'm bored:

BMW Z4 Roadster ($45k)

Audi A5 Convertible ($43k)

For me; Audi.

Z4, because it's a bit sportier and has a hardtop.

-> ...

BT -> My Turn.

=Developmental Supposed-To-Be Production Cars=

Chrysler ME Four-Twelve/ME-412 '04

Jaguar C-X75 '12

^ Both bad-ass in their own respect! Sadly, they will never see production.

Jag, no question. Such an epic car, I wish they would make it.

Z4 for the long bonnet, short deck. Roadsters can't be beat.

1981 LANCIA ZAGATO $4500-$5000(my brother had one like this back in '84)

E21 BMW Baur $5500

BMW, I guess. Pretty car

Would You Rather:

'01 Volkswagen W12 Coupe Concept


or

'05 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

VW, I guess.

Turbo diesel wagons

BMW 535d M Sport Touring

Jaguar XF 3.0D S Sportbrake

Mercedes CLS 350 CDI Shooting Brake

That Jag So gorgeous, and a nice car to drive, too.

2014 Chevy Silverado high county 62K

Or a 2014 chevy Impala LTZ 26,729-42k

Impala. I'm not insecure and I don't need to compensate for anything, so I don't need a massive truck.

Another Comparo:
2014 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ - MSRP $22,140, 2.5L 197 hp I4 (MSRP unknown)

2014 Ford Fusion S - MSRP $21,900, 175 hp 2.5L I4

Fusion. So much better, there's not even any comparison. The Malibu is awful.

Okay How bout a

2013 chevy cruze LTZ RS MSRP 17k


Or an 2013 Chevy Sonic RS 14k

Sonic, because it's smaller, kind of cool, and more practical.

Here's one; 2011 Models:

2011 BMW M3 GTS for $130,000

2011 Porsche 911 Turbo for $122,000

2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 Coupe for $133,000

Aston Martin That's pretty much my default setting.

OK here one

A 2014 GMC Sierra denali

Or a Chevrolet Silverado High County.

I'll walk. Get those hideous monstrosities away from me!

 

[VanquishedFox]

I'd go with the GMC. It looks more like my kind of style, and I like the headlights.

Plus, I'd be one of those people who would buy a truck and never use it for anything except driving, so styling would be a pretty big factor.

 

[White & Nerdy]

OK here one

A 2014 GMC Sierra denali

Or a Chevrolet Silverado High County.

How about neither. They're too shiny and niced-up to use as trucks.

 

[Xavier2342]

'14 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ vs. '14 Ford Fusion S

Since the Fusion isn't equipped with the Ecoboost V6, I'd rather have the Malibu.

'13 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ vs. '13 Chevrolet Sonic RS

I'll take the Cruze

'11 BMW M3 GTS vs. '11 Porsche 911 Turbo vs. '11 Aston Martin V8 Vantage

I was absolutely dead set on choosing the Porsche until I saw that you also included the V8 Vantage. In my opinion the Vantage V8 has one of the best sounding V8's in the world. I don't care much for the M3
(when compared to these cars) and I'd gladly take either of the remaining two. However, true to the rules of this game I'd rather have the Porsche.

'14 GMC Sierra Denali vs. '14 Chevrolet Silverado High County

Although both trucks are built on the same chassis, I've always favored the Sierra over the Silverado. With that being said, I'd rather have the Sierra Denali.

Would You Rather:

'07 Ascari A10

OR

'10 Noble M600

OR

'13 FM Auto Mazzanti Evantra V8

 

[VanquishedFox]

Evantra. Love the styling on that one.

Haven't even heard of it before today.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Ascari A10 vs. Noble M600 vs. FM Auto Mazzanti Evantra V8 - Noble. I love the back of this car. And the front too

 

[Murcie_LP640]

GMC, preferably neither though. And Noble M600. It's very close between the Noble and the Ascari but the Noble is at least roughly useable as a road vehicle. The Ascari's road legal (barely) but I wouldn't want to own one.

[Gotbeefboy564]

The Noble and Jag for me.

 

[05XR8]

i'll take the Jag and the Nardo.

Jag Sportbrake, Cruze, Evantra. if the HSV has an improved manual, i'll take it.
