350Z - not a fan of the interior. Perfromance rocks (so I hear), but I sat in one and the interior is too cheap/plasticy.
G35 Coupe - Don't know, want to drive one once they roll on to the dealer lots. Holds lots of promise
WRX - not even close to the 30-40K range. A blast to drive, but uncomfortable (too cramped), no luxury, every 4th car on the road is one here
330Ci - If you find one with leather/sport package etc, below 40K, I'll be suprised
A4 - Very nice car, lots of mods for 1.8t, lots of problems, lots of time in the shop.

The only car I'd take over the CL in this group is the 330. But at a good 10K more than the CL w/ similar options, the CL wins the bang for the buck battle. I love my CL, but will be looking at the 330 when my lease is up (unless rumors are ture and the CL gets AWD and 300hp )

Throw out the price category and I'd choose the 330Ci.

I'd take the G35 coupe as well... the WRX is about 24K base... there will be an STi version coming out soon that will be around 30K and a beast to drive. If you want a real racing machine then I'd say get the WRX and get the Cobb tuning race package for 5K I think it is. It'll be over 300 hp and run 11s or 12s no sweat, not to mention be a perfect track car. IF you want luxury then the G35 is waht I'd pick. It's a bit expensive and the interior looks crappy but the engine is beastly and the outisde it beautiful. 330? I'd say wait on that, there will be other BMWs out that will make the styling on it seem bland... as for the A4 that car is over priced in my opinion, you're better off with a used S4 or an imported from mexico S3.

Cl Type-S is good if you're trying to hit an under 30K price range and still want a luxury feel. it's not trhe best car in the market for it's class but it's def. the best car for it's price.

here's my 2 cents. the WRX is the poor mans porsche, one of my good friends has it and i'm so glad i didn't get it, its uncomfortable, kinda ugly, i hate the clutch on that car. But on the other hand you get a lotta power for a lil mount of money. The g35, i think is also ugly, fantastic interior but exterior is hideous. BMW i'm just impartial to,they look hot, but i hate them they're overrated and i wont get into that. 350Z i like the performance numbers but you could've styled that car after my ass crack and it would look better. Audi a4...this is just a touchy subject because my old a4 fuckin sucked. turbo blew up, automatic, slow, problems alllllllllllll the time, so fuck you audi. CL-S...love my car however, too heavy, needs better handling skills, looks too much like a maxima in the front from far away, but it is a good bang for buck and does come almost fully loaded at its base price, RWD would've been so much better. my input

the cl-s is by far teh best in the bang for the buck catergory, but when the g35 coupe comes out, it may take over the top spot if the price stays under 35 totally loaded. 280 hp, spoiler, leather, sunroof, navi, 18s, and kit (Maybe) under 35 and im sold hard core. I hate the 330 bimmer cause its still like a corola, and too small for me since i come from a cl-s and 2 maximas before that.
u aslo didnt add the maxima on the list, and it maybe a contender for the list too, 255 hp isnt to shabby and can now be bought for 22gs.

travis, why don't you buy a used s4. my friend is a mechanic at an audi dealership and he loves them. just like all other cars, it has it's fair share of problems. it has tons more mod potential, and awd. if not, buy the new accord coupe. shit, it looks like a cl, and has more features. and has a body kit.
on the other hand. why don't you just buy the 6 speed cl. that can beat more than half of the cars out there. slap on the supercharger and it'll beat the majority of cars. and it'll still be less than $40k.

For ULTIMATE performance, the WRX, the STi version will be near 30k. A4 coupe is coming. Then u are comparing RWD with AWD and FWD. I think u need to pic up a nice Car and Driver and listen to their biased asses.

hmmmm

s2000?
mustang cobra?
lexus gs430/300?
2 vs 4 door?
resale value?

i guess it boils down to what you are looking for in a car. performance or style, and how heavily you give each aspect. in truth, we all thought the CL-s was the best car on the market for it's value, otherwise, we would have gotten a different car. a personal evaluation needs to be made on the new cars on the market.
