Guys, remember rule number 4. German cars here...

 

[DaSilva]

How about your brabus smart roadster?

Belive me! I was thinking about it.. but the CL AMG is just so pretty!
But of coruse .. a Smart BRABUS is more compact than a CL

Re: Make a choise, one car from each class...

I was actually thinking of you when i wrote those. But then I figured it was time for you to widen your horizons

Geez Dunkel. Hehe.

All you've done which such a rule is shrunken my horizons.

lol there are to many rules to follow..ppl are getting confused

Maybe it is because i'm a lawyer I like the rules. But that did not stop me from writing a rule that could be interpreted in two different ways.

The e) catergory may be either the car you use on the sunny day when your wife is away or the car that the wife use to get away that sunny day. Since both interpretations are to be considered correct there is no reason to change the rules.

Eezy Peezy Lemon Squeezy...

Compact Runabout:
VW Golf 5 GTI. Because a Mini Cooper S - no matter how epic to drive - is just too "Cyril and Maurice's hair emporium".

Everyday commuter
Audi B8 A4 Avant 3.0 TDI quattro S-Tronic. It's not so much about having fun but getting to your working destination comfortably and frugally. There are better choices for me in this category but their manufacturers are reserved for later on in this list.

Sports Car
BMW M3. Without hesitation, the purest of driver's German cars outside of Porsche and an Audi R8...

Trip to the countryside
Mercedes Benz GL 320 CDI with off-road package. We've got some amazingly beautiful, yet car-munching countryside down here. GL fits the bill perfectly.

Sunny-day-wife's-away car
Without question the 997 series Porsche 911 GT2. They say that the 911 GT3 RS is the most complete Porsche ever. I say the GT2 has two turbos, 390 Kw, almost 700 Nm of torque and is guaranteed to scare you shitless. Now, how better to spend your time away from the wife hey?

That is one of the best real life shots I've ever seen of the E-Class. I'm so torn...next Benz...a nicely driven FL E or pre-FL SL. Hmmm...

Yeah it looks great, p.s sorry about the muddled pics and writing and double post, my computer is messed up today.

The photo is really great!! And it shows, that the E-Class looks extremely good in silver. Sadly most of the E-Class are black!

Yeah, I dunno tho if I'd choose black or silver, there are quite a lot of silver E-class near where I live. Another pic.

 

[Merc1]

Yes the E is still so very handsome. I might get one in a year or so. Either that or a SL.

That family car review says: "Most Mercedes-Benz automobiles have an understated elegance that keeps them looking fresh and desirable for generations."

Oh so very true. Which I why I have no problem owning a previous generation Benz or BMW for that matter. Great design lasts.

Well what are the engine options on both?!

 

[Merc1]

Well the base SL here is the V8 SL550, but with the E I could go for an E350 or E550. Who knows what gas prices will be like then, an E350 might be the only option.
