    Easy... M6 for me! The phenomenal high-revving V10's feeling has no match with force-inducted power-plants! (y)
  3. CarGuy New Member

    Wow good answer I went for the M6 easily also.

    Second choice was the XKR but I do not really know much about it and the V12 Vantage.

    SL by far in last place but the difference from 1st to 2nd choice is a large gap. (y)

    Ha! That's easy... Jaguar. (y)

    The M6 has to be the cheapest car in this comparison, right? It still has an N/A engine that blows the others aside like that... still, I would love a GT3 much more, for even less.

    Aston for me, by far.
  7. Sunny Premium Member

    Aston, But rather have a GTR, GT3 or R8 over any of these.

    Also SL600 doesn't have a 7 speed transmission, it has the old 5 speed one.
  8. Guibo Well-Known Member

    Aston wins by far, for me. Next would be XKR. M6 and SL rounding out the bottom, with maybe a manual M6 getting the nod.

    Jaguar XKR for me - just because it is so beautiful!!!

    I'm going to try the Aston Martin this time.
  12. Merc1 Contributing Member

    Aston-Martin easily.....then the Jaguar (convertble version of course) and then the SL600 (the least sporty of the SLs though) and then the forgotten BMW.

    That is actually quite true. The M6 became yesterdays new in a time when a car like this very much have to have that novelty factor to stand a chance.

    Don't care the other two.

    SL600.
    AM.

    Don't really care for others.

    1. SL600 - It's a BENZ with a 600 behind it...That's perfection!

    2. V12 Vantage - The best looking out the bunch.

    3. M6 - Everything about it is good EXCEPT for the BMW symbol on the hood.

    4. The Jaguar - The interior is perfect, but something about the front doesn't sit right like the XF does.

    Even though it`s the fast in a straight line, it`s dynamics can`t keep pace with the SL63. I`d still go with the S600, 1st in this pack.
    Second choice would be the Jaguar followed by the Vantage V12.

    The BMW M6 (or 6er for that matter) lists as last. It`s still the ugly one of all the beautiful sexy coupes out there.

    Jaguar over Aston? Wow..that is a suprise coming from you GTA.

    The M6 looks nice, for a BMW. Of course it would look better with a Benz then the normal...
