Carrera for me with this color, stunning. God, that's what I call braking performance

I'm surprised by how quick the careera is. Sweet ride eventhough I would never consider buying an entry level 911 as a convertible.

Re: [scans] AMS: SL 350 vs. XK8 4.2 vs. 911 Carrera
I would also choose the Jaguar here - of course the build quality is not comparable of the SL or 911 - but the sound of the V8 is great!! Just love it!!

Re: [scans] AMS: SL 350 vs. XK8 4.2 vs. 911 Carrera
If I can't have the SL550 or the 911 C4S Cabrio then I'll go for the Jaguar this time. I don't want a V6 SL, just doesn't seem right. The standard Carrera Cabrio doesn't do much for me, I want the wide-body 4S version. Jaguar please. She is a stunner.

Re: [scans] AMS: SL 350 vs. XK8 4.2 vs. 911 Carrera
It is interesting that the V6 SL350 is more powerful and quicker than the V8 Jaguar.

I would get the Porsche and then the Jaguar. I just cannot look at the new SL front. Hideous!
