Default rate your top 5 sports sedans...

Price is not a concern this time. Let me know who makes the best sports sedan by model and work your way down to number 5. Explain your reasoning if you have time.

Thanks,

Yea they're big, but they do have sport in them. If we're limited to only small(er) sedans, then there aren't a lot of cars to choose from.

BMW M3
Mercedes C63
Audi RS4
Lexus IS-F
Cadillac CTS-V

I am with you on that list. The IS-F just didn't do it for me when I drove the car. I flipped to German cars after that test drive. It just wasn't sporty enough for me. I like having a stick as well.

1) BMW M5
2) E63 AMG
3) Audi RS6
4) Maserati Quattroporte
5) BMW Alpina B7

these are the serious luxury sport sedan contenders, for smaller size, i would rather get the coupe counterparts than the sedan.
