For me a tough choice between the Caterham and the Ariel, but I'll say the Ariel.

For Sauber vs Nissan, the Sauber. Because it's um, #1 and the Nissan is #24? Okay, so I don't have a good reason.

As an aside, I didn't realize how much I disliked most current Chevys until now.

The 340R is a bespoke street legal road racer based on the Elise. The 2-Eleven is like a hardcore speedster Exige with the same Toyota powerplant.

The Atom is a bare bones, bare knuckle track toy for the street with performance to embarrass most supercars (0-60 in 2.9 secs) coupled with a whining supercharged VTEC.

The R500 was the fastest Caterham in the range before the new 620R came along. With 520hp-per-tonne, the power-to-weight ratio is equal to a Veyron, making for savage track performance.

The X-Bow is made by a motorbike manufacturer, it's the heaviest and slowest of the bunch and has a turbocharged Audi engine.

Thanks. I'm still picking the Caterham, though. :P

^ This is a ridiculous question (IMHO). Why would you go for a Korean car (Daewoo Kalos) badged as a Chevy (or Holden) to go against a performance Euro-Ford!? It's like a Suzuki Reno (Daewoo Lacetti) comparing against a past-gen Ford Focus ST (N/A in the US)!

-> Fiesta is my choice, it's techically a better car every single way!

-> And by the way, this IS the correct pic for the Sonic/Aveo RS:

'13 Chevrolet Sonic RS vs. '13 Ford Fiesta ST

I'd rather have the Fiesta ST...

Would You Rather:

Sonic VS Fiesta

Oh I bet the Fiesta's a real hoot to drive with what, nearly 200 horsepower wrapped in that little body? Of course, that performance does come with the drawbacks of interior styling that I've never been to keen on, and the wheels are a bit tacky. The Sonic's nice interior and attractive exterior, coupled with a lower price of interesting make it a compelling alternative, so I think I'd have to go with the Chevy, and use the money save for sick bolt-onz yo.
 
'13 Chevrolet Sonic RS vs. '13 Ford Fiesta ST

Fiesta. It was on Top Gear, and they made it seem awesome.

2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition vs 2008 Spyker C8 Aileron

This one is actually a toughy for me. I love Merc's, but Spyker is probably my favorite boutique car manufacturer. They cover so many different areas in terms of design, so I'm actually going to pick the C8.
 
Sonic RS v. Fiesta ST: I own a Sonic (albeit not an RS, but with the same engine) and it is a nice car, but the extra 60 horsepower of the Fiesta is hard to look past. I'll take the Ford.

Benz v. Spyker: This one's difficult. The Spyker has the quirky charm thing down, but I personally can't stand the interior. Still, you'd have something hardly anyone else would. The Mercedes, though, is probably the better GT cruiser, and there is a much larger dealer/service network in the States. I guess I'll take the Merc and do my best Stirling Moss impression.
 
Luxury Sedans:

2014 Kia Cadenza; FF; $38,900 (My pick. Such elegant styling.)

2014 Infiniti Q50; RWD; $39,550

2013 BMW 328i xDrive Sedan; AWD; $38,850

Track cars: I'll have the R500. It's the quickest of the bunch and will punch a Veyron in it's face.

Sonic vs Fiesta: ST please. It's simply better.

SLR vs C8: SLR for me. German precision engineering and that soundtrack from the V8.

Mid-size sedans: BMW. It's still the benchmark of value, performance, usability and driving involvement.
 
Mid-size sedans: Hmm. If Infiniti/Nissan put a petrol engine in the Q50; instead of a diesel or a petrol-hybrid, I would take it; mainly due to the exclusivity and rarity of seeing another Infiniti.

This leaves me with a Kia and the BMW. I'd take the BMW.

*You've called the BMW a 328i xDrive Sedan; RWD. An xDrive is AWD, an sDrive is RWD.
 
Fiesta, it's just better.

I can't decide! The SLR is so good, but the C8 is so awesome. I'd love either, really.

Q50. RWD and more power from the VQ engine, plus better looks.
 
Well, the Egoist has some luxury features that the Spec V doesn't, and it's cheaper, so I'm going with the Egoist. Plus, the LED's on the bumper look rather nice. :)
 
2 eleven, Fiesta, C8, BMW, and Spec V.

2 eleven looks better than the others and is a bit bigger.
Fiesta: looks better the the sonic and is probably more practical.
C8: More rare than the 722.
BMW: Looks better than the others.
Spec V: probably faster than the Egoist.
 
'14 Kia Cadenza vs. '14 Infiniti Q50 vs. '13 BMW 328i xDrive

Kia has really stepped their game up and I'm glad to see them give other well known manufactures a run for their money. Although I like the Kia, I don't care much for FWD. Even though the BMW 328i is AWD, I honestly don't care much for the look of it. With all of that being said, I'd rather have the Infiniti.

GT-R Spec V vs. GT-R Egoist

I don't know much about the Egoist but going off of what Gotbeefboy564 stated in his post, I'd rather have the GT-R.
 
Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition vs. Spyker C8 Aileron - The Spyker's a good car, but the 722 is great.

Kia Cadenza vs. Infiniti Q50 vs. BMW 328i xDrive - The BMW is out because it's plain annoying. Between the Kia and the Q50, I'll choose the Q50. It's RWD and the Kia is FF, only for $650 more. And the Cadenza would look a bit better with a slightly larger grille (although I like the styling of both the Q50 and the Cadenza.)

Nissan GT-R Spec V vs. Nissan GT-R Egoist - Egoist, cheaper and I think the wheels fit it more then the Spec V.
 
Porsche Cayman S, new and well optioned, £55,000, plus your choice of wheels, colour, and transmission

Porsche Cayman S vs. Porsche 911 Turbo - Cayman, it's Porsche's best looking car (besides the historic ones and the 918 Spyder)
 
997 Turbo Tiptronic for me.
