IS, 335, C 350 sport. Not only great entry level sedans but they offer the F/M/AMG treatment.

You need to be more specific as there are multiple A4s and CTS's.

Eh, I didn't want to make it complicated by adding engine choices, package upgrades, etc. There are multiple ISs, 3 series, C-classes, etc, but wanted to keep it simple for the sake of the poll. I didn't want the option of F/M/AMG/V/RS to be a factor. Just more or less the best options of the main cars in this class (not including performance divisions - that's another poll). If you want to change the poll and make the CTS the 3.6 option, that's fine. Though I thought it was obvious that was the model I was referring to.

Interesting, Mike. I would have figured you, like me, for the CTS SportWagon. You and I both agree it looks better than Pam Anderson Lee.

No problem, just editing for clarity.

I love how it looks and I went back and forth between the CTS and C350.

IS350, but that was predictable.

I voted for IS350, 335i, and A4 3.2. But actually I would rather have the A4 2.0T instead of the V6.

Voted for A4, G37 and C350. Third place was a toss up between the C350 and 335i, but went for the Mercedes because of looks.

btw, Audi no longer sells the A4 3.2. It was replaced by the S4.

my choices were the IS 350, ES 350, and the bmw 335i. The IS is practically a coupe in a four door fashion, and feels luxurious inside and out. the ES- i voted for because it is a comfort car. the amenities, the feel, and the roominess both front and rear are all great aspects of this vehicle. and the 335i- no other vehicle, though the poll was based on sedans, has as much tuning ability as this bimmer. a very fast car, and though i see hs kids abuse the hell out of it consistently with their lame burnouts to impress a bunch of girls, it's tuning makes it a viable option, despite it possibly having a greater chance at problems over the long haul. i agree for the most part with MPLexus301- it's mainly subjective with some of the stylings of these sedans and pricing for most of these vehicles.

Acura TL - I think it looks pretty good
Lexus IS350 - Good performance and nice luxury
BMW 335i - Good performance but the interior isn't that great

No one voted in this poll for days, so I figured I would give the results. Now people are voting again, so the results have changed (kinda like how you post sales results on the first page of the sales threads, only for it to change as the information is updated). I'll update as needed and no, I don't want you to close the poll. BTW, you changed the poll from Audi A4 to Audi A4 3.2, but the 3.2 doesn't exist anymore, so can you please change it back? thanks
