Lotus exige and a decent beater.

Otherwise, the M3. It's the only one that looks good (RS5=whale, C coupé = accord coupé) and probably the best drive. And the new F something M3 will look like crap.
 
@romango3: Yeah, the RS4 is so dope. I'd prefer that but I oriented the thread around these three as they were all created to compete against each other.

@Broody: there aren't many lightweight cars nowadays but in general I'd add the civic ek type r and miata to that list!
 
I'd take the RS5 over all of the others just because they are more rare, and less seen, and obviously is a great car.. second id take the new C63 coupe :p
 
La CTS-V pas dans la même ligue? Ah non et pourquoi? Même range de prix, offerte en sedan et coupé, manuelle ou automatique. Elle n a absolument rien à envier aux 3 allemandes.

L an dernier Car and Driver plaçait la RS5 dernière... La M3 en premier suivi de la CTS-V. La C63 n y était pas car elle n était pas encore sortie en version 2 portes

Il lui reprochait son comportement routier... big fat understeer pig!!
''Audi arrives with the immediate disadvantage of having all eight of its cylinders mounted completely forward of the front axle line. That means the RS5 has an imbalance in its 4000-pound weight (56.3 percent front, 43.7 rear) that’s a recipe for understeer."

''....in most driving. But when approaching the limit, the chassis still acts more like a front-driver by exhibiting a higher degree of understeer and leaning on its front tires far harder than do its peers. ""

''There’s a lot to love about the RS5. If the two other cars weren’t around, the gorgeous new Audi would surely feel like a winner and might better justify its $90,000 (estimated) price. But alongside the better-balanced and more involving CTS-V and M3, the RS5 can make the driver feel more like a passenger. ''

La RS5 est la plus dispendieuse du lot en plus en plus d être beaucoup trop similaire à mon gout à la S5 qu on voit partout..

M3, C63 ou CTS-V anytime, les 3 m attirent beaucoup mais la RS5 juste par sa configuration du groupe propulseur et son AWD... ne m attire pas du tout. L understeer ça craint!
