My heart says Audi...I love the S5 and R8. But I'll follow my head and vote for Benz. They simply have the most to offer with the SLR, SL, CL, SLK and whatnot. Add AMGs and the Black Series into the mix and they have this catagory covered.

Like several others have mentioned, Benz has something for everybody. No matter what you're looking for they have an answer.
Whether or not those vehicles are the best in class is up for debate, but they are all right there in the mix....something that is distinctly lacking with Lexus.

^^ Thanks Mike, added. I used to love the OLD Benz coupe designs, the new ones not so much. I don't like the 6 and the 3 is bland to me but like the M3 and 1 series. Audi's A5 does nothing for me as the TT but the S5 and R8 make me tingle.
Lexus, Infiniti, Saab, Caddy, Volvo don't do much for me.
I love the Jag XK and XKR though.
This is a tough choice and I have not voted yet.

K, I voted Bimmer & Benz but I want to say that's ignoring price completely. I think they do a great job on the coupes but I generally think they're over priced.
(& of course, I'm a fan of the XLR, too bad it's going bye bye)

I would have to say Mercedes, good choices available. I generally won't mind having any of them, except the SLK with that unsightly nose ( & of course the SLR too).
As for the AMG's, I don't regard them as real sports cars, no manual, not light enough, & steering still on the numb side, and I recall Mario Andretti saying that the SL55 AMG is not a sports car ... I won't mind having one though

Too bad Lexus doesn't do a GS coupe for you, right?

In a nutshell, I guess the BMW 335i coupe would be the nicest to drive (the M3 is too harsh), and the Lexus SC430, with its superb interior and overall quality, the nicest one to own.
