I've gotta have the V8 power and sound, but I need a bigger backseat to fit car seats, so it would have to be the GTO.  If the back seat wasn't an issue, it would be Mustang all the way.

the Teuton

I'm gonna have to take the Goat over the G35 by a narrow margin.  The droning noise of the VQ does not make me giddy.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

That's easy. The GTO.

V8 power, classy styling, and it doesn't look cheap like a Mustang.

Also, the Altima coupe was not available in 2005.

GTO. 400hp, very nice interior, IRS, sleeper looks.

Is an RX8 not a coupe enough fir you? how about a cougar, tiburon,   325...?

G35 or GT0. If I had to have that hood on the GTO then I'd take the G35

TBR

GTO, black exterior, red leather with the LS1 hood and some nice 19"s  (I have decided that the cars stylistic problems are largely due to too small OEM wheels.

Cookie Monster

GTO.

One question though: If you're going to consider the Accord V6 Coupe and the G35 Coupe, why not also look at their sedan variants? Both the Accord V6 Sedan and the G35 sedan come with 6 speed manuals too. :huh:

If a back seat is a big priority I'd probably go with the G35 sedan.

Altima SE-R is a good option IMO.

If Hemi considers the Accord V6 sedan, then this is also a good choice IMO.

All of which are bigger than the Celice, Eclipse and Tiburon and definitely more fun than the Solara.

The Celica, Tiburon, and 2005 Eclipse are considerably smaller than the other cars in the poll. The Solara, besides being a monstrosity that no one in their right mind would vote for, is AT only and not nearly as sporty as the other cars in the poll.

Out of those choices, GTO.. but if it was up to me, Rx8!  Rotary FTW!

Actually, there are a Handful of MT Solara's.

Also, what about the 06 eclipse? It's a four-place, right?

I think only the first gen Solara came with V6 MT's, the one after that only has 4 cylinder MT's I believe.

Those are his personal preference, not the guidelines of the poll. Otherwise, three of those cars wouldn't be up there.



Anyways, I voted for the G. I love that car.

4-cylinder only though (for the present generation, before you try to be a smart ass).

The 2005 car was too small (though it did have a rear seat) to be considered in this poll.

I don't think the rear seat for the G35 is really that big.

I think it's cute. Wouldn't pick it over a G, though. (Or even an Accord)

I would buy one, but only because they are significantly cheaper than the other options.
