So my friend just asked me for an opinion. He has $100,000 to spend on a BRAND NEW car. He's looking for sport/luxury and a coupe. I told him to get a GT-R and he's looking into it...only concern was a cheap interior! Can anyone throw any idea out? He's not a fan of the M3 either...

 

gtr =/= luxury, period.

m6? i wonder if you can get sl500 for that price?

 

the sl550 starts above 100K

tell him to get the new 2012 cls...its a coupe too right?

 

A7, CLS, excellent choices...

I prefer the look of CLS myself... although A7 looks a lot better than on pics, i cant believe they paid for those...

Maybe Panamera? I know it is not an Coupe but it is Porsche.

 

Dodge Viper or Porsche 911 Carrera?

 

Porsche Cayman or a Carrera......talk about luxury & sporty!!!

 

RRS enough said.

 

A Carrera would be fine. I assume he has another couple of cars for mundane duties.

 

GT-R or CLS if he is into the 4 door coupe thing.

 

wow 100k gives you such a broad range...

RS5, C63 coupe (coming out in sept), porsche carrera, jaguar xk,...

 

Does he have to spend 100K? Seems you could buy a C63 AMG, CTS-V or IS-F and have extra change left over for mods or a second DD car

 

Although there are (admittedly) some reliability concerns with Jaguar products, have him look at an supercharged XKR coupe. An absolutely stunning car. I had the chance to test-drive an XKR convertible last December (I wrote up a review on it), and driving it was like dating a supermodel.

 

What about a Corvette ZR-1?

 

if the guy is looking at Sport/Luxury, then he is looking at CLS and its competition.

 

A little hard to throw out recommendations when we don't know what his current garage consists of...

With that said, e63AMG, M5, or a Carrera would be fantastic additions to the sporty luxury
