Good thread. The IS-F for me, so that excites me tons. White/White please.

Then the GT-R b/c I can see myself in this car as well.

The C63 is gonna be a BEAST! Though the GTR is exciting and all, it still in my humble opinion is not a great looking vehicle, plus, it's just too obvious. The C63 on the other hand... looks like it'll beat the IS-F and the M3 while they weren't looking. Just a mean looking vehicle, and superbly insane. Plus, that V8 AMG rumble is just amazing.

C63 and S5 for me... Actually, it's the C63 and RS5 that I'm really waiting for, but who knows when that will be available.

For me it is the Audi R8. I know it is out already, but it is an 08. I don't really think the A5/S5 are real sports cars even though I really like them. Of the cars on the list though, I'd say the Nissan GTR. Mostly because it will be the first time officially released in the USA, even if it is a totally different type of car from past GTR's under the old Skyline name.

For the US it has to be the GT-R. Mainly because this is the first time it's coming to the US by the ways of Nissan and not some thieves...

As for me, I'm dying to see the IS-F and the M3. They are both cars that I plan on looking at when considering my next purchase when I get my commission.

I'd say the GT-R simply because the buzz and anticipation in the whole enthusiast community is already off the chain. And personally I'd just like to see if it can possibly live up to the hype.

Nissan GTR, and there is a lot of room under that hood for more modifications, which is important for me.
