If I were to a comparison writing paper, I might choose to do it on the Corvette and Porsche 911. Both are widely accepted as benchmark sports cars. Both achieve their goals in completely different manners. One is a front engine RWD, one is a rear engine RWD. One a V8, one a flat 6. They contrast each other so much, yet reach the same basic goal in the end.

just a paper comparing 2 things from a business stand point, doesnt have to deal with a business for example, i can say what car .... wants for there company car and they have to be in the same price range, i guess camry vs accord is probably the best, its 5-10 pages and i cant be bias, just straight facts and at the end the facts will choose the winner like she says

Comparing an XLR vs a 'Vette would be like comparing an ES350 to a Camry...
