If the Lexus IS350 was up, I'd vote for it. I think they're damn sexy. Too bad the 350 doesn't come in AWD like the 250.

I voted for the BMW 3-series coupe. I checked one out and my butt felt right at home the the drivers seat. I really dig the look, and it's really the only car on the list that piques my attention. Don't worry...I still love my Honda .

G35 for me.

Price aside, there is not much on that list that I would even consider driving. I think the few that are somewhat stylish have absolutely no power to back it up. Why most of these manufactures are wasting valuable research and development hours on tiny hatchbacks, is beyond me. They don't have any significant gains in gas mileage to justify the power output near the 100 hp mark. I understand there is a small market for the cheap and economical car, but I see more Americans buying hybrids over these.

The Mazda speed 3 has some appealing features, but is far from my style. I just do not like hatchbacks! (other than the early 90's civic "eg" style.)

i think id be able to make a better decision w/ an actual test-drive h:

i love the new 3-series coupes. and the new G35. and the Korean cars, too, mainly because of their massive improvements. but...theyre not exactly very groundbreaking

wait...shouldnt the Porsche Cayman (S) be in the mix?? my vote would def go there

...eh i'll vote G35 on basis of increased improvement across the board

Were the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky 2006 models? I would have voted for them if they were up there.

I ended up voting for the Fit - I drove one and it was just fun. Lots of room, feels suprisingly sporty, great interior quality and space, and excellent fuel economy.

Runners-up:
MazdaSpeed3: A great car, but really just new powertrain on the 3. Wasn't revolutionary enough for me.
Infiniti G35: While an excellent car, too evolutionary from the ground-breaking original.
