In no order
S65-can you say beast. I mean BEAST. Huge, powerful, more torque than a train, screams "I HAVE ARRIVED".
IS-F-Lexus first effort is a bulls eye. Not only do we get top performance but luxury, quality, reliablity, dealer service etc. Icing on the cake
Porsche Panamera- not out yet but will embarrass what we THOUGHT was a sports sedan. Imagine a 911 sedan. If they build a GT model, omg!
Alpina B7-claimed by Sports CAr International (my most trusted mag source) as the best handling large car ever. S/C power, room, rarity.
Aston Martin Rapide-will arrive soon, concept looks so good, it doesn't matter how it drives

here's my list.

Mercedes Benz W124 E500
this to me, is perfection of a sport sedan. I truly think they are finally getting back to the quality that of the "cost no object" era.

Audi B5 S4
twin turbo quattro with that perfect Audi feel down to the weight of the door when you open/close it. plus i love that size.

Alfa Romeo 156GTA
just drop dead gorgeous!!

Alpina B7
i've never driven one but combined with Alpina and BMW's engineering, it has to be great. plus Alpina made the not so pretty E65 puurrdy. i'll kill to drive one.

i dunno whats next...too many to choose from. I wanna way E39 M5...but dunno.

In no particular order...

1) Mitsubishi Lancer EVO (Affordable and talented AWD supercar...)
2) Mercedes E63 AMG estate (Nothing cooler than trashing a Ferrari with kids and a dog in the back...)
3) BMW M3 (M3: enough said...)
4) Audi RS4 (Upscale AWD performance sedan with badass looks and good traction in slippery situations...)
5) Lexus IS-F (The first ultra performance sedan from Lexus and a good one at that...)

1)Dinan 3/335 or M3
2)Audi RS4
3)MB C63 AMG
4)IS-F
5)Infiniti G35

I was aiming at the this group of cars actually but I appreciate the different selections. The E and S class MB I always thought were Sedans more than sports sedan, just my opinion.

my friend's AMG S65 is faster than his twin turbo Lotus. I think it could qualify as a sports sedan.

MB CLS63 AMG
MB C63 AMG
Lexus IS-F
BMW M5...though I think I'd opt for a little tweaked 550i instead.
Audi S6 (since the RS6 is yet to be available for the US market)


I've always been drawn to bigger sedans for some reason. Sure I like the M3, the C63 and the RS4 and think they're great cars...but I've been a big fan big fast sedans ever since I was little. The Lexus is in there cuz if I had a choice, that's a car I might actually buy to own.
