the new benz c coupe 230 kompressor. i test drove it. it's nice, quick, and great handling. you do need to get new tires though, it squeaked when i punched it into second gear.

This order:
Passat w/ FWD and a stick (screw 4WD)
2002 Maxima SE (255 HP - sweet)
2002 Camaro Z28 w/ SS package (fast and cheap to mod)
WRX (very small car plus PSI is high and I wonder about the turbos holding up)

Are you kidding, a CL-P haha. That is just a overpriced Honda Accord. The CL-P in no way compares to the mighty CL-S

I would take a lex sc300 or 400. around the 95 or 96 year. work it up nice possibly turbo and all. i never see them around here so i luv them

He might have to take a year off from whoring and try to follow the 26 steps using some weird 'twisty turny' thing which is used for some small 'turny' things followed up by some weird metal pieces.

Hmm. Year-round transportation.

As much as I would like a Cobra, the insurance would kill me.

I don't want a four cylinder car, I don't care how many PSI the turbo is kickin'

Without seeing the new Altima in the flesh, I cannot say for sure, but 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds for a four-door is pretty enticing.

The 6-speed Jetta GLX VR6 in January looks good. Wonder what it will do to 60mph.

I still think the manual is going to cost extra in the CL-S.

If I'm a rich mofo, but have some silly reason for only spending $30k, I get the Cobra.

If it's me as I sit here now, I get an Altima 3.5SE or CL-S if I have to buy before January.

With a base of approx. $25k, all the options would barely break $30k.

A year ago i had to make this very decision, and i set my limit at 30k. I bought the CL-S after considering many others and i would make the same decision today.

The Acura 3.2 CL
WRX
Slighty used S2000

I like that C Coupe inside, looks nice, not sure if the hatchback thing is working out though. This will deffinetly bring in different breed of people into the benz dealerships. A younger, less stuck up breed that is.
