Best overall coupe under 50k sticker
I am just looking around right now but curious what you guys think is the best overall coupe under $50k.
G35 is all that really comes to mind when I think coupe right now.

i'd bet the new 330ci/ 430i (whatever its called) would rock the G35 in my opinion. The G35 looks and sounds great, but its not a 3 series.

Get the G35 Coupe if you want to join the masses of G35 Coupes that you will really began to notice more once you have one.
I like the G35 a lot, but too many people have them (at least around here)
My vote: a used M3 coupe

For a more different approach on the subject aside from pure speed, what about the CLK350?
I personally like the C5 Corvette. It's not practical, but boy is it a kickass coupe that's affordable.

You guys better do your research before you start talking about used nsx's........a clean one will run you at least 30-35k........maintenance will kill you if the services have not been done...........and parts cost and arm and a leg so 50k is not enough for a used nsx if you are really thinking of getting one......go on nsxprime and you will see what it costs to own an exotic............and most nsx owners do not drive that car everyday....the nsx is like their second car or 3rd car........no owner would want to beat up their exotic car by driving it everyday...........but you do have some kids out there that have no choice that picked up the 125k mile beat up nsx that they drive everyday.........
I think the s2000 is probably the best 2 door car to buy under 50k plus if you really do have 50k cash in hand you will have some money to play with it.
2004 TL blk/ebony with navi
1991 NSX blk/ivory at 30k in mods, repairs and the 36.5k to buy it

what makes the NSX so hard to maintain? I thought one of its great points was that it was a "reliable exotic"... you make it sound like if I bought one of these NSX's for $45k or whatnot, it'll be in the shop every weekend. why? I see you own one, so I am looking forward to hearing why its so hard to maintain - really. I don't know a lot about NSX's, that's why I'm asking.
btw I would have to say C6.

I'd pick my GTO over again. This is my favorite car I have ever had and the build quality is fantastic.
Of course I would have said the vette but I need 4 seats.

Is that an 05 ?? 1LT ??
I saw that http://kerbeck.com/ is running a deal on their left over 05 inventory...
I've been looking at Porsche 993's but for $42K a C6 is definitely interesting...

Oh, and if you need a back seat it's a toss up between the G35C and the 330I...
If you can live with a 2 seater, then the vette is the best bang for the buck performancewise...
