GAME ON!

Normally I would have chosen the CLK-DTM or the CLK Black Series, but considering that warrants somewhat of unfair advantage for the other vehicles in this test, I am also leaving out the 'higher' performance models.

As a result, my choice is the BMW 335i coupe.

1. Styling mostly, but of course the engine and interior were also a factor

2. It's simplicity

3. Am I biased? lol

4. Most definitely an important factor, but as The Artist pointed out, not the major factor

preach like i said..very unfair poll.. even with an RS5 and M3 its unfair..
its only fair when there is a M3 CSL and RS5 + or something lol

I'll go with the threadstarter rules... So CLK BS for me.

Maybe their should of been a little car not to well known around these parts called the R8 in this poll! I've heard the CLK DTM and BS are somewhat close in price and performance but what do I know?

The Artist · 06-21-2007, 11:39 PM

^that would be a good alternative..

HighestOfHigh · 06-24-2007, 09:25 PM

Right now my decision is between the A5 and the Infiniti G37.

I have always hated the 3 series and the CLK seems more like a womans coupe. If I were to get a Benz coupe it would be either the CLS or CL.

CarGuy · 06-24-2007, 09:27 PM

I gotta say in those photos especially the G37 looks quite par with the 3 Germans. I choose the Audi mostly because of the sporty and classy S5 while the 335i is quite foxy itself but the S5 being newer wins for me this time.

EXTREMELY ugly, not worth even discussing this terrible car for me.

1. 3er

2. CLK

3 A5

just curious--

LOL, He changes the rules because the rules suck if all models are included.

A CLK DTM AMG? Come on now, what in the blue hell is there to compare between that car and a regular 3er coupe or A5????
...Not to mention that Infinity...LMFAO

Edit;

sorry, looks like we all agree on the weird 'rules'

The Emperor · 06-27-2007, 07:14 AM

335i for me.

1. Engine, driving dynamics, looks...
2. The fact that it looks very aggressive, low profile...
3. Yes...
4. One of the biggest together with engine and suspension set-up...
