It's a toss up between Audi and MB for me. I really like the A5, but I like the CL and SL more

As much as I love the S5, the nod overall goes to MB. No questions asked IMO.

Yep, the missus likes the SLK350 best or maybe an SLK55 AMG but probably not at 20mpg... I don't think she'll be concerned with extra HP

MB hands down. I can honestly consider getting several coupes from their line, even though that will never happen. Small coupes to large coupes to supercars and AMG Coupercars, they have it all.

Isn't a C Coupe coming soon too? That would make a coupe and convertible in every class.
