Subject: [Misc] Poll: Luxury coupes
I've never considered the new Continental GT to be a real Bentley, it's a little cheap for a Bentley, and I don't like how it looks that much, the whole thing just seems like a glorified VW. The older Arnage is a much nicer car than that and the Flying Spur, it's more expensive but it's more of a proper Bentley. I'd much rather buy a DB9 than a Continental GT (I think they're about the same price).

What does FTW mean? Anyway we're talking about new luxury coupes, Lincoln doesn't make a luxury coupe anymore, the last one was the Mark VIII, and that was hardly in the same league as the rest of these cars. Indeed I'm not sure the BMW 6-series should be here alongside the Bentley, the Aston and the Merc CL.

Lincoln has some lame vehicle compared to the previous years. Anyways I like the Eldorado more thanthe Mark VIII.
It means it's far superior as in it will beat others in a race (not literally). You know, like in a horse race or something it'll be like he takes it for the win.

I have to make up more rules otherwise I can't pick: you said 'drive' not 'own', so I'm imagining I'd get the car for a week or two and do whatever I want with it.
Sorry, I tend to take these sort of fantasy questions too seriously.
-Continental GT: Too soft. If I was going to own one of these, it'd be higher ranked, but to enjoy for a limited time I'd want something sportier.
-CL-Class: That's sort of open, Benzes have such a wide range on many models. What's the entry CL, a 350? If it's a 55, I'd rather have the Continental. If it's a 65, I'd still rather have the Aston.
-6 Series: I like the 6-series very much, but it takes an M6 to equal the performance of the DB9 and reviews say it's suspention is extremely hardcore.
-Jaguar XK: Am I the only one who likes the last generation better? Mechanically, they're almost the same, and I think the new one looks much worse.
-DB9: I'm suprised to find it weighs (in manual form) exactly as much as the M6. The suspention is supposed to be quite hard for a GT car, but not as much so as the M6s. Given that, I suppose it wouldn't do quite as well on a road course, but I'd still choose it over the M6. Barely, though.
-Maserati GranTurismo: I have some irrational bias against Maseratis. It seems the only ones I like are the 70s and 80s cars that real Maserati lovers hate. Besides, the GranTurismo is pretty slow and weak compared to the compitition here.
That's the car to play with for a week though, if I had to pick one to live with, it'd be the CL (as long as it's at least a 55).
