A CLK DTM AMG? Come on now, what in the blue hell is there to compare between that car and a regular 3er coupe or A5????
...Not to mention that Infinity...LMFAO

Edit;

sorry, looks like we all agree on the weird 'rules'

No, the rules are not weird. Any model of the 3, clk, a5 and G37 is up for debate in this thread. Unfortunately, you didn't create the thread so everyone goes by the rules I set up.

As far as the Infiniti G37 it has beat the 3 series in several test drives so this "3 so mighty" only works with you. Everyone recognizes this car as a true competitor despite you obvious biased behavior.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I am kind of shocked that the CLK DTM was included. I really only meant up to the CLK AMG, M3, and S5 model trims, but I guess everyone decided to included these models on their own.

Regardless of vehicle or added power and sport tuned vehicles you all should know which vehicle you would like to drive regardless of model trim.

If you voted for CLK that should be your choice no matter what model is included. Same goes for the 3, A5 and G37.


---------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you everyone else who posted comments on you particular vehicle of choice. I truly appreciating you comment as they are added value to this thread.

Re: Small Coupe BATTLE (S5, 3, clk)!**

1. What were your deciding factors?
It's a BMW for havens sake, and a good one(s), not a poser 8er, Z08 or so ...

2. What is it about the design that attracts you to
the car?
It's curves & aggressive looks are just irresistible ...!

3. Does brand image have an affect on your decision?
Of course, it does matter, but it's a must fulfill it's brand promise

4. Are driving dynamics a major factor?
Yes, they are one of major factors ...!

Re: Small Coupe BATTLE (S5, 3, clk)!**

My pick:




1. What were your deciding factors?

Answer: Honestly it is the look. It is fresh and has a clean look to it.

2. What is it about the design that attracts you to
the car?

Answer: The round shape of the vehicle as a whole and the interior.

3. Does brand image have an affect on your decision?

Answer: Not really, just a great looking car.

4. Are driving dynamics a major factor?

Answer: Not really since I haven't driven it.


My runner up:




Would have been number 1, but the A5 beat it on exterior design.

The others:

Like I said before the CLK looks more for woman. I would prefer the CL.

The 3 series one the other hand has alway had this "market leader" gossip about it. I've driven the vehicle and I am not impressed at all.

I still havent driven a car in its class thats impress me more than 3-series. Keep in mind Infiniti arent for sales in Sweden so I cant say anything about that car but for now 3-serie is the best. Oh, you dont like the 3er, I think you are a minority

BTW Im still waiting for you when you pick a BMW in one of your famous polls

Re: Small Coupe BATTLE (S5, 3, clk)!**

I really couldn't chose between the A5 and 3 Coupe off hand. I would have to look at each closely and go on an extensive test drive to decide.

GAME ON!
1. Styling, performance, exclusivity.

2. The flared fenders and carbon fiber accents. They do wonders for a shape that really hasn't impressed much since its 2003 introduction.

3. Yes of course, there is only one Mercedes-Benz.

4. Yes in this class.

I choose the CLK63 AMG Black Series, with the 335i as the runner up. Take the CLK63 BS out of the picture (which it probably should be) and it is the BMW takes the trophy. The Audi and Infiniti I have to see in person before any real positions can be taken concerning them.
