You want me to think up 18 vehicles, categorize them by price, then by unlimited, then by "i just like'em"?

Man I'm gonna need some paypal for that kind of work.

Here's my list:

(1) Mercedes CLK63 black series

So far 5 people have listed theirs, and Lexus LS has appeared in 4 of them and Acura NSX and BMW 335i/335xi have both appeared 3 times. I guess they are really that attractive huh.

Yes, I misread the number in your request. Oh well, no problem.

You can tell my age, though...few others listed cars as far back as the 60's like I did. Some of those were cars I grew up with.

The LS, obviously, speaks for itself. And I have remarked, several times, that I think the 335 is a better buy overall than the M3, dollar-for-dollar. It is more comfortable, and almost as much car as the M3, for a lot less money.

I have driven 335i sedan a few months back and it was such an excellent car. If not for the looks, I probably would have gone for the 335i sedan instead of the IS350. It was very fast and nimble and the steering feel was so sharp and immediate, and the suspension is incredible. The overall ride is better than IS350 in my opinion. But I just love the IS's look both inside and out. Talking about M3, I have not driven one, but after adopting the coupe's front look onto the sedan I like it more now. I guess M3 concentrates more on the high end horsepower instead of the low and mid range torque that 335i has plenty of. I do agree that 335i is a much better buy. Too bad the regular 3 sedan's front end is not the coupe's.
