mm.. i like the TL. I like the Bemer too, but my friend has a 325i, and he says it isn't peppy at all. He complains that he shoulda got the 330, but the price difference was pretty big.

I luv the G35's, but, to me, looks wise, the G35 SEDAN fails. the Coupe looks like a Zillion times better, i can't believe it would even be the same design team.

In any case, overall, i'd say the TL is best because it is peppy, and it looks good.

I guess you're used to the FWD. ;)
RWD is damn near a waste of time if you have no horsepower. Would you take a 120 horsepower 4000 lb car over a 280 horsepower 2600 lb car, simply because it had RWD? I'd take that BMW with FWD if it meant it had enough power to actually accelerate!

Is the RWD in the G35 a waste? I don't see how you can say it's ugly.. It's not the best looking car, but it doesn't look any worse than the coupe.

As for my car being slow.. well yeah it's slow. Since when does that make it not a sports car? I'll be damned if a 66-33FR, FWD Civic is more of a sports car than my 240sx, a Miata, or one of them old British roadsters. Besides, remember, it was made in 1994. The iconic Z of that era only had 200hp (or was it 190?).

The G35 coupe is beautiful. The sedan is fugly.

Not really. The only flaw I see with the sedan's design are slightly oversized taillights for my taste. But it's by no means fugly. I would skip the spoiler though. I agree the coupe looks better.

Notice there are never any arguments as to whether the m3 is beautiful or not.

*drools over m3 pics*

I really love those chrome slots on the front fenders... and they say "m3" inside really small too...
