    Basically, this is thread devoted to comparing cars and picking out which one's best.



    Instructions:
    • They must all fit in a category, from price ranges to popularity.
    • The only types of comparisons you can do are Twoparisons and Threeparisons.
    • Make sure the car actually exists in real life.
    • At the very least do a bit of research on all listed vehicles before giving a answer.

    Example of how to play:
    Category: MA format (Mid-engine AWD) vehicles
    Poster A: Lamborghini Aventador vs. Audi R8 (Type 42)?

    Poster B: Audi R8 because of how revolutionary it was for sports car.
    Category: Modern hot hatches
    Honda Civic Type R vs. Ford Focus RS vs. Renault Clio V6?

    Poster C: I personally say the Clio because of the V6 it packs.
    Category: 20th century vans
    Ford Econoline vs. GMC Vandura?


    So, let's start:


    Category: High performance European cars
    Porsche 911 GT2 (996) vs. Aston Martin Vantage AMR Pro?

    I would say the G-Class, since it was more utilitarian back then.

    Chrysler TC by Maserati because of the Maserati partnership, and also because it looks the most unique of the K-cars.

    I´d drive the Edsel. I don´t quite know what the Blackwood is supposed to be.. A Pickup version of the Navigator? Maybe a driving house? not sure tbh. The Edsel at least has an interesting piece of story to it.

    Next: 2nd gen "FC" RX-7 vs. Corvette C4 Grand Sport

    Subaru, because it's easier to find parts for that thing and tune it more.

    Three similarily-priced early 80s approaches to the family sedan:
    1981 Chevrolet Caprice vs 1981 Honda Accord vs 1981 VW Jetta.
