on your girlfriend
You picked two cars in the $70k range and one in the $100k+ range (the Beemer).

I've driven Beemers in the past and they are great, however, I like the look of the jaguar you selected and is a bit different to what you see everyday (in the luxury market).
 
I work with guys who own Audis, BMW, Lexus, and I went a bought a 300 this year. Not up to their standards but I find it a great ride and very very comfortable. Whenever we need to see a client or go to a meeting they seem to like my ride the best. Better legroom, very comfortable and a hell of a lot cheaper. I'm not urging you to buy a 300 but I do believe there is better value for for buck outside of what your looking at.
 
The BMW is a really big car, but not all that exciting. The Jaguar is a Jag, likely with some of the baggage that has plagued them for decades. I traded my SLK (loved it except for the lack of space) for a C63... four doors, 450 hp, a fantastic engine and transmission package. The sound of the exhaust as you are downshifting for a corner is incredible too! The seats may be a bit narrow for those who are wider in the midsection.
 
Just further narrow your choice to two makes, either BMW or Mercedes Benz
both are excellent german cars, my preference would be the E-Series of Mercedes Benz
its really very beautifully and lavishly designed vehicle with all gadgets you require in a post branded car. Jaguar is pain in the ass in less than three years time, and its not doing well world wide.
 
Jag is a Ford with a little bling. The Benz is a chick car as previously mentioned. The 7Series is too much. I would go back to the drawing board.
 
BTW who gives a shit what anyone says. Which one do you really want! You know which one it is. It is probably the Beemer or the Benz. Beemer because it is lavish and awesome or Benz caudse you want sporty and ragtop.
 
I like the way the Jag looks, the Benz is a chick car, and the Bimmer is in a different category entirely. Given my druthers, I'd go for the Bimmer, although an M5 for me would beat a 7 series, more performance, and a nice-sized sedan...

The SLK is a bit of a chick car. If you have the money, buy an SL, or
an E class. You will also do well with the smaller C series, they are nice.
I have an SL500 and a C class, and I mostly drive the C class
(I am getting old, maybe).
 
In that range, I'd go for an Audi S5 or RS4, maybe an M series Bimmer, or better yet, some Porsche with a few years and few clicks on her, but with 15K of body/engine work to make it last forever and go like the wind.

But ultimately you should test drive test drive test drive. You already know how much space you want, and what kind of ride (sporty, luxury, etc), and the rest is a very subjective process. Hence test drive and "see yourself" in your next transport. Good luck.

Exactly right. The SLK is a chick car, but the AMG package hangs some balls on it. I agree, the new C class is masculine & really nicely executed. Step up in size/price a bit and look at an SL500 or SL550. The SL has the nicest car interior I've seen in quite a while, and sounds and drive's fantastic.

The Jag. I've looked at it, and wasn't that impressed. Yes, it's fast. But, I'm worried about how it hold up.... traditionally Jag's drive great, but don't last.

The 7 series Bimmer is a nice car, but it is big - way bigger than the SLK and bigger than the Jag. Did you drive it? A great interior though it has that god awful Bangle-butt. I hate where they put the shifter - up on the steering wheel column.

It depends on what you want. Performance or luxury. If I was looking to buy a car right now and had the type of money you're looking to spend, I'd by a new BMW M3. You'd get a car that would run circles around everything you've mentioned, and you'd still have $20k or so left over to put a nice floor down in your garage, a couple new snowmobiles, or whatever you might like.

If you want to attract hummers, get a Hummer
 
Forget all 3.

Spend a lil extra and get the Audi R8 if you want to be a manly man. Rampage Jackson drives one, nuff said. :cool:
 
If it were a big sedan, I'd take a Lexus over the BMW... and that is not a knock on BMW.

And the Acura RL might surprise you compared to the Jag.

The SKL just doesn't cut it compared to the SL... unless you really must have something smaller, in which case think Porsche or Nissan GT-R.

I would get a cheap Hyrbid and tell the women you could have had a MBW but your environmentally too concientious. THen I would take the $40,000 saved and fuck my brains out. Guaranteed more smiles and satisfaction than I would get from driving a nicer car.

I am clearly not a car guy.
 
i asked the same question a few months ago here a1.

i ended up getting a bmw 335 xi, i wanted something i could drive in the winter on a daily basis. (it has AWD) btw, its very nice and fun to drive.

i agree with ready2rock, get a M3, i would have, but not ideal in the winter.

havent tried all options, but not much out there handles better than a bmw.

if you want something unique that you wont see on the road too often.
have a look at this, maserati, gran turismo.

$70-100K price range? Since the three choices A1P listed are so diverse, in no particular order these fine machines fit the bill:

Audi S4, S5, S6, A8 4.2
BMX M3, 550i, 650i Coupe, 750i
Porsche Boxster S, Cayman S, base 911
Chevy Corvette Z06
M-B C63 AMG, E550, CLK550, S450
Nissan GT-R
Caddy CTS V-Spec

BTW, I envy A1P's dilemma.
 
If you want to get noticed, get a Lotus Elise. They are in your price range and the women love it. Looks like it cost MUCH more than the $70K that it is.
