I voted for the RSX, of course. Excellent interior combined with the best engine in its class, no doubt. The Celica has no torque and is anything but smooth, the Eclipse is a boat, and the Beetle is NOT sporting at all. The Cooper is very cute on the outside but man its interior is ugly IMO, I can't stand speedometers in the console and tachs by themselves on the column. No matter what anyone says, I think the RSX is a very attractive car (R&T gave it a 9 in styling) and its F&F is second to none. I looked long and hard at the Subie but man it is UG-LY. The interior is nowhere NEAR the RSX'S..yet somehow Consumer Reports gave the interior and seats of the WRX higher markers, CR sucks. Hey CR, :madfawk: . Anyway, the only thing wrong with this car is its tires (dont get me talking about that bubble roofline
) and I already solved that problem with some S-03s, and I hung with a Ferrari at Watkins Glen! Well, not quite. But I love the car and lots others do, as witnessed by its sales (2500 a month for 30k a year, far beyond expecations of 20k... I think) and its reviews.
The thing that I chuckle at is a recent review (maybe in MT?) of it and the Celica and it includes something like "We can't wait to see what the next generation Celica can do" oh give me a BREAK...the current Celica is 2 years old! The G3 Teg was 8 years old and STILL one of the best in its class.
Good job Shawn :thumbup:

Anyway I'd vote for RSX-S. Very nice car. Celica doesn't stand a chance.

Anyways, the RSX is raping the other guys, just like the M5 did

RSX-S, for sure. One thing that just entered my thoughts..... the Cellica is one hot car, but the shape and look turns me off. when I started looking for a new car, I briefly looked at the previous gen. Cellica. Great looking, anemic four. All the GT had to boast was the base motor from the Camry at the time. Now they got the engine right, and the look turns me off. Too edgey, like the Mercury Cougar, not very smooth.
