Surprise result, I was expecting the Jaguar to win the contest since it is the lightest of all and the coupe version received extremely high praises. I never expected the SL to be truly sporty. Right now I can't decide between the Jag or the SL.

SL please!

I can't believe the Lex hasn't dropped in price. It's not worth that dough.

What is the MEGA OLD Lexus SC430 doing here? That car had no chance from the start.

I saw a red Jaguar XK an hour ago. It is a handsome car but I prefer it with a real roof.

Didn't even need a SL500 to handles these lightweights.

One of easiest polls i have ever to vote in,SL please

Ha ha nice - SL at 100%

MBUSA should really consider 2 more cars for the U.S. market a CLS350 and SL350, both with this engine. Stigma of a 6-cylinder should be overcome by the fact that this version of the 3.5L V6 has more hp than the old 5.0L SOHC V8.
