I picked C63, actually.

Because IMHO a sports sedan should be devastatingly fast... you'll never get a 4000 pound car to handle like an Elise, so why try? But then, you have to have something that justifies the cost....

As for the M3, I still don't get why anyone would get one over a base Corvette or stripper base 911.

(of course if you were qualifying that with a comment of snowy weather... RS4!!!! )

How can I say since they have not been tested fully yet? But if I had to say I'd go:

1) GT-R
2) M3
3) IS-F
I was going to put them in but I want to get a consensus on the Germans first.

PS..for the record I chose C63 myself. I think that car has a ton of potential being that it is detuned.

I know it's not 'new', but I have to wonder about the Cayman S in this group (for me) not essential that it has a rear seat. And tho lower powered it's also close to 30xx lbs (rather than 35xx lbs to close to 4000 lbs for the other cars).

I started this poll because of the RS4.

I was in Greenwich, CT for the past 3 days and I have never seen so many BMWs per square mile in my life. Imagine NYC taxis as BMWs and that is the streets of Greenwich, to give you an idea.

I saw an RS4 today and said damn that is hot and it stuck out because it wasn't a BMW. Then I figured wtf...poll time, and added the 3 cars for voting.

[QUOTE=CKit,Oct 4 2007, 07:39 PM] (Then you should have said snowy Connecticut... too many Cali and Texas guys so I voted as if a dry weather choice)

IDK, I think the RS4 looks nice... but I still think it looks an awful lot like an A4 (which why we picked up one).

I would get the c63 for the reasons stated above...too many BMWs on the road, and I can't say no to that kind of power. Best looking of the 3, IMO.

BMW M3 had been more enjoyable to drive in the past compared to its MB and Audi counterparts.

With its recent review and weight catching up to C63, I am not sure if that is the case anymore. Its styling is like a skank w/ too much makeup and the interior is cheap.

I would pick the C63 in a heartbeat.
