Best post
Defintely the 3 above... and tell him to go drive a Porsche Boxster Spyder... easily the BEST handling, smoothest car you can buy this side of $100K... about $75K and he can go get a decent DD
ZR1- $110K
GT-R- $92K
XKR- $105K... but it's a Jag
Panamera- $110K
SL500- $105K stripped
CLS- would need to move up to AMG, then you're at $135K
RS5 will disappoint for $90K
CTS-V- Electrical issues
I'd add the upcoming C63AMG coupe but if he's not an M3 fan, this will be the one true competitor.... $75K-$80K

The guy asked to spend $100k on a car, not what to do with $100k.

New Luxury and coupe people, take an ADD pill before you post
. CL550. Best one there is.
Maybe E63 coupe Black but I don't think it's out yet.

I would hope somebody in the market for a $100K car did both a long time ago, not that I'm expecting full financial disclosure on the internet.
