iff ALL of them were available right now, my two top picks would be the CTS-V and the IS-F.

I made the CTS-V as my first pick, because it has the best interior styling (in my opinion) and the 550 hp is an added bonus.

next is the IS-F. picking it over the M3 was a bit difficult especially after seeing the msrp for both cars were officially announced two weeks ago. the deciding factor of my picking the IS-F is the fact that the base model offers more standard items, which are offered as options on the stripped out base model of the M3 (typical of BMW)

I'd go for the BMW M3, its the lightest, probably the most agile and the best handling of the bunch.
Coming soon, BMW's 7-speed double-clutch "M DKG" Transmission.
It will trim the M3's 0-100km/h time by 0.2 sec.
An M3 with a 6-speed manual has a 0-100km/h time of 4.8 sec and a 0-60mph time of 4.6 sec.

Some useless weight adding luxury gadgets may not be standard on the M3, but all the performance enhancements expected from the legendary BMW M-cars are there.

The CTS-V has no official test yet, but judging from its bigger size and extra weight, its probably not as agile... the CTS-V was also tested/tuned in Nurburgring so it should also handle well.

Bakit hindi kasama yung C63?

I'dve said M3 in a heartbeat a few years ago... and if it were as a second car or as a weekend toy, I'd still probably go for one.

But I find the C63 an oddly attractive package... huge V8, small car... terrific looks.

Hell... give me both... and an RS4 wagon, to boot. :lol:

Unfortunately the RS4 is now out of production. Much as I want to vote for that, I can't because I can't get one...

I'll vote for the underdog: the CTS-V. The car's massively improved over the first CTS and the present base model, which were pretty good by themselves.

kailan pa? bago lang ang 2008 model.

kailan pa? bago lang ang 2008 model.

Current RS4 is an outgoing model, it was introduced in 2006.
The bigger all-new Audi A4 was just unveiled (the S4 and RS4 are not part of the initial lineup).


I noticed the M3 link in the 1st post is a coupe model...
This is the M3 sedan:

kailan pa? bago lang ang 2008 model.

Autocar UK posted news of Audi ceasing RS4 production in November or December 2007. After all, the RS4's based on the outgoing A4 chassis.

I'd take the IS-F, please.


aite, peace.
