Help me help my friend pick a car!

shogun99 · 05-16-2009, 04:58 PM

So i have a very good friend who is in the market for a new car. This guy loves cars and the fact he is a cadiologist gives him a big budget.
His choice right now is the 2009 Audi TT-S which is a pretty badass car. We both went and test drove one and MAN....wow.
But he is also considering the 2009 BMW 335i coupe. More horsepower and torque but aside from that, we cant really think of anything else that might be in this category. He want torque and the new M3 has less than the 335i. he wants high end engineering.
He talked about a new EVO or STI but he wants something higher end. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Both os these cars on his list are SICK!!

what about the new shelby?

shogun99 · 05-16-2009, 05:16 PM

what about this badboy?...in the same price range. and if its good enough for jay leno...

stewartfn18 · 05-16-2009, 06:33 PM

good luck finding one now. my girlfriend knows someone that preordered one and was denied the sale just last week becuase chrysler went bankrupt.
hyundai genisis coupe looks badass, but if he wants high end, id go with the bimmer

Got a couple of these bad boys in stock at my work

These beasts drive amazing. 425hp

6-speed....

worth the money if you ask me.

I don't think the challenger is really high end, more like high powered. I'd see if I could go test a loaded G37, the 335i is pretty hard to beat though. One of those two would represent him well, but then again I don't know the guy. Both are head turners and respected by the car community.

Oh Yeah, bout the M3, its supa sexy, worth the $ I guess. I just place it has 50/50 with the 335i, because I couldn't decide.

burgett2103 · 05-16-2009, 09:23 PM

go with the new nissan 370z or whatever it is

nissan is hardly high end.

04GrandAM SC/T · 05-16-2009, 09:56 PM

Nissan is not worth the money imo

burgett2103 · 05-16-2009, 11:39 PM

well.... it's cool lookin

04GrandAM SC/T · 05-16-2009, 11:44 PM

they do look good.

I just don't care for them.

burgett2103 · 05-16-2009, 11:49 PM

haha i haven't really looked much into nissans but the only one i would go for is the 350z or the gtr

aiixon · 05-17-2009, 12:10 AM

I don't think anyone would deny a gtr haha...

McFlurrey06 · 05-17-2009, 05:41 AM

Lexus IS cars?

Haughee · 05-17-2009, 06:01 AM

I was just about to post that.
Take a look at the Lexus IS-F that is a mean car.

Malibu Glow · 05-17-2009, 09:37 AM

Why not drive a real racing bred car, Porsche! Screw the ret of those choices and the Porsche is HIGH END!! Carera GT!

Better yet DON'T buy something high end just buy a good GM product and save the money you might of spent for a high end car for other things!

xxbackhillxx · 05-17-2009, 11:43 AM

Both are amazing cars. Has he looked into the 335i xDrive? That version is AWD and is still cheaper than the TTS by about 5k. The 335i is a I-6 over the TTS' I-4, has more HP and torque, costs less, and BMW as a company is a beacon of European quality and design. No contest. Both interiors are awesome. If he wants looks then I would pick the TTS though (I don't like the roadster though). I can't comment on the handling, he would have to factor that in on his own.

McFlurrey06 · 05-17-2009, 11:45 AM

What about MB?
