I realize I'm bias, but I've driven both the BMW and the CTS... and to me the CTS still wins because of the innovation and "newness" of everything inside, relative to the last CTS. The current BMW was... well... like every other BMW I've been in. Also, I didn't see the need for the super sensitive brakes on the Bimmer- I realize they're built for the Autobahn, but they're unnecessary for the Us version IMO.

Why was the malibu in there?

Ajaxus · 12-04-2007, 09:43 PM

well according to the link it's the best sedan out there..affordable, plenty of power with the v6, clean interior and overall nice design..

not bad qualities

timberwoof · 12-04-2007, 09:48 PM

Too bad they're a fairly easy engine swap away from kicking ass. K-series K20/K24 wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Try riding and driving one. Your opinion will change very .................very................very quickly. They are sex, people know they are sex, women want to **** you, men want to be you. It's a porsche, oh, and every newer model, they tend............to just get..........better.

GregFarz78 · 12-05-2007, 05:08 AM

Available in three- and five-door versions, the GTI has an attractive base price, although tempting options such as the DSG can quickly bloat the bottom line. But even at $30,000, the net is still a sophisticated German sports sedan at a bargain price.

is it?

Exodus · 12-05-2007, 07:42 AM

Not to big into GM but the Caddy is the one I would choose when considering looks/restyling, power, price and comfort.

Boxsters and Cayman's are for faggots. And it seems you like them, so what does that say? Real men own a 911 series, not the vaginally challenged male *** dumpsters. I envy no man with either of these...because I know my 7 can devour it.

Metallman56 · 12-05-2007, 08:40 AM

i'm both shocked and happy that GM put more cars on it then Honda or Mazda did. i'm also shocked there isnt a toyota.

Obviously you've never been in a 3 either. Now, don't get me wrong, hatchbacks are for queers, but the Speed 3 is one hell of a car!!!

Heh, I have a feeling Communist and Driver doesn't rate cars on their engine swapability- besides, ya'd still look like a fegh drivin' one, even if it was fast.

I know 3's are cool as far as being fun to drive, but i wouldnt ever own one, just based on appearance (same goes for the new sti seeing that they completely focked up the styling)....I would never own the miata because of the way others view it....If i had the money to buy a porsche, i would spend my money on other cars in the price range for any given model waaaaaay before i would buy the porsche.

Roush GT · 12-05-2007, 05:31 PM

the honda fit wtf? the mustang should be in there IMO i agree with them all except for the fit, gti and the mazda 3.

also surprised the g37 isn't on there... anyone else think the accord coupe resembles the 350z?

AaronGTR · 12-05-2007, 05:49 PM

I actually agree with every car on there except the fit and the porsche. I'm just glad there isn't a scion on there. There's another car for teh fhegs. And sorry Chris but I gotta disagree on the mustang. It's not there for a reason. It's a nice car, but not really designed that well, and it's not significant or new enough to make that list. Nothing has really changed about the mustang since it came out and it uses old technology. And there are ford's quality and reliability issues too...
