What If Acura didnt exist?

What would be your car? O.k. here are the rules. Think realistically here. No Bentleys or Maseratis unless you think you can definitely afford one in your current financial and living standards. Name the car, then state in about 3 sentences why you would choose that car..just a little fun for a forum.

I'd be in a 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SE
I graduate next year from high school and I might get one since my uncle works in a Nissan plant in Tennessee. The Altima has stylish 17" rims, 270 horsies from a 3.5L V6. It has the power of a Type-S as well as the amentities. Also, it's a coupe, which would be good for some gull-wing doors and it has a Push Start ignition which is totally rad...

BMW 335i (coupe). Car and Driver called it " the best all-around car in the world." Plus, I took one on a test drive and it is extremely fast. That having been said, I wouldn't want to pay for the on going maintenance for it but BMWs do hold their resale value about as well as an Acura. I would miss all of the included options on the TL too, all that stuff would cost a fortune in a BMW (the motor would make those matter less). One more thing, it looks terrific.

Before I got my TL, I was looking at Audi 1.8t A4 quattro or VW 1.8t Golf with a Jetta front end.

Probably a Honda Accord coupe, most likely a 2000 as well.

funny part is i don't drive an acura (an 02 accord) but i wish i drove a tl

my current money situation means my dream car that i can afford is a TL

therefore if acura didn't exist, i'd go with a lexus is 350...toyota's have always been great cars around the world and for my family, mom, dad, and sister drive them and love them
