BMW 135i Coupe would be my vote. Nice looking and nice power

[poita]

out of that lot, my pic also.
there is another 5 still to be named

[Shaun]

C30 T5 Volvo ???

[Calibrated]

135i gets my vote

[bornwild]

How the heck did the Jaguar get in there?? It costs just $110,000!

I don't think any of those 5 are that spectacular. Maybe the A4 and 500 would be fairly good.

[Jerram]

I've driven that fiat 500 before - Clarkson hits the nail on the head when he says that it's good because it's so fun to drive. In this day and age it really is a car poised to do well if people notice it.

[Hackstra]

id go the 135 but yes clarkson did say that the 500 was fun so hmmm

[sooty]

The 500 was the abarth though. Solely for appeal i'd say the 135i

[Wraith]

From that list - I too would choose the 135i...purely based on being a car enthusiast though :)

But if economy and value for money were the primary factors, I wouldn't choose any of those, but if I had to from that list, it would be the Fiat 500 :)

[digifish]

Watching the videos I am wondering how the 500 made it into the list, not one of the reviewers had an overall positive view of it.

That said, they are a bunch of 50+ blokes, so I am sure they just don't get it.

cant believe the 135i didnt make the five.

out of that. i would probably say the accord euro.

but i have a feeling it will be the falcoon or the bommadore.

+1 holden will win again with their revolutionary redesign of the station wagon...

or ford will win with their more expensive less kitted mondeo stablemate

[Wraith]

Hmmm, interesting, now that the 2nd group of 5 finalists are up, I'd have to say the Evo 10 has a good chance...

Wonder why no one has picked it yet ???

Remember it's not 'your' personal choice, it's which you think will win it for the Cars Guide crew, we all like the 135i the most, but its price will work against it...
