Yuck, the Charger isn't even offered in MT. It may be fast, but who cares when it's boring to drive? :icon_no2:

I'll take the 335 or Evo, thanks.

As much as I love manuals, that car shouldn't be offered with a manual. Fro one it wouldn't sell, and two it's just not the type of car that I could imagine driving with a MT.

I don't think that list is right.

What happened to the STI. That's just one right off th top of my head? Mazdaspeed 6? Both in the price range listed.

The base EVO is starting around $34K. The Buick is hilarious. Old school brute V-8 technology running through the front tires. Pushrod with a 4-speed auto!

I hate the 300C--it has been taken over by the bling bling set.

Price no object: 335i. Price more of a consideration: G35.

RX-what? They still make that? I thought due to global warming these cars were banned?

Actually, they were banned because they're slower than a Buick. ;)

Sorry but when some old dude in a showroom stock "plush mobile" shows me his tail lights is the time to trade-in.

ha ha... my 94 skylark is faster.

On another note: I wouldn't take any of the top 3.

Speed is not what it's all about. I wouldn't take the BMW due to high repair costs.

if it were $40k with options it wouldn't be overpriced...

most dealers only stock $50+k 335i's and $60k 335i coupes=(

I have the 335i, and have had the turbo tuner installed for about 4mths...since break in :}...so far my fav car to date. The sport and Premium package is a must....

Runs like a charm with no problems, and will walk a stock M3 (non08) with the TT installed.

^got any pics? I drove the 335i in a performance driving school and loved it. Brilliant car!

yes I will try and post some pics soon.......I loved the 8, but the 335 really makes u smile.....I have the auto and in sport mode I don't miss the stick at all. It shifts so smooth and quick....not to mention it's been tested as faster than the manual :} It's doesn't fit like a glove like the 8 did, but it's still gives you the sport u want, with lots of power!....I can't tell u how many STI's, modded SRT4's etc have tried to run with me, only to be sadly surprised

got any links that back up your claim about auto being faster than stick?
ive been contemplating about getting a 335 my self recently

You have to test one out for yourself and see how fast in sport mode the shifts are.....I have always loved the Manual, but this is the first Auto I have fallen in love with......I am sure overall the manual and Auto are close, but unless you are a pro-driver and can shift perfectly everytime, the Auto will have the egde. Another thing I noticed is how incredible it hooks up off the line...remove the traction control, put it in sport mode and floor it and there is hardly any lag and you get a nice launch...in fact so much so I have easily jumped on an STI which you think would have the edge from a stop.....I have jumped out a few cars lengths when full boost kicks in which is right down low and continues until redline. Here is one article testing the Auto. Pay close attention to the second paragraph where they say it was slightly faster than the manual they tested.

G35 is the shit (G37 is even better, but not on the list). Pure sex. Saw one tonight in black and another in silver. Absolutely stunning.

BMW = WAY overpriced.

well I test drove the G35 and G37......I just preferred the fit and finish in the 335....and it's a known fact the 335 would walk a G35, and has shown it is still a quicker car than the G37. They are both nice cars, but I actually liked the lines of the G35 better over the G37?...great exhaust sound too

The 335 was so easy to mod, and I felt had a much better "feel" when driven hard?...that twin turbo sounds great, and I still believe BMW under-rated the hp?just my2cents
