Aston Martin.

They truly make the most beautiful cars in the world.

Oh, and they're pretty fast too .

This was a tough choice. I was deciding between the R8, Maser Gran Turismo, Jaguar XKR, and the Aston Martin. But, gosh, it's always been a dream of mine to have an Aston, even if the other cars are faster and better. An Aston is an Aston. I've got to have that Vantage.

No car could take away my love for GTR, I love every generation of Skyline GTR.

On this particular list, it would be a tie between the Jag...(with the wood option rather than metallic interior) and the Audi R8 with its Quattro AWD.

But how about a list of coupes for people who don't have the better part of 100K...or more....to spend?

I didn't realize there were so many high-end coupes

R8 is my favorite.
Aston Martin Vantage
GT3
the GT-R too if it meets expectations.

to me the rest don't seem worth owning.

Interesting point, as I have thought for quite some time that based on price, power, and driving dynamics, the XKR and R8 would probably compete very favorably with eachother.

You didn't give any qualifications such as which would you buy if money WAS or WASN'T an objective, if this was a daily driver or not... etc...

If money WAS an objective and this was NOT a daily driver, I'd get the Z06

If it was no objective then I'd get the Audi R8, regardless of daily driver status or not...

I voted 911 GT3 RS, but for daily driver, I would pick the Audi R8.

If I had the cash, wait on the Nissan GTR. Otherwise a Z06. R8 I would have to give it some more time to form a better opinion.

I would have voted DB9 (as daily driver) if it's in the poll.

DB9 is closer to 200k than 100k...so it was left off.
