They are a little far away, I'm in St Annes at junction 32 of M6 and they are junction 18 but thanks for the link.

You can't put your bike in the back of either of those cars....better get a Hemi

I'd have the 350Z, those Chryslers are FUGLY and IIRC they're just an old-model Merc SLK underneath which were never that exciting to drive in the 1st place.

Most importantly though - can I have a go when you get it?

My car this weekend

such a nice car to drive!

it's not a proper car unless it has 4 rings on the grill or the little blue and white button.

both the 350Z and the crossfire just shout soccer-mom to me.

Crossfire is on 5th Gear on Dave channel now!!!

Im sorry but anyone who is struggling with this decision is clearly unsure what they want from the car in the first place,

the crossfire is hopelessly bad and in my opinion not much to look at either but its definatly one for the posers

The alfa is also hopeless and to add insult is front wheel drive and has a diesel option, no no no, painfully pretty but just say no

as for the 350z its a real blokes car big engine, sounds good, goes well, looks butch too which is rare in the current crop of coupes but its due for replacement and the older ones have a renault sourced v6 from an espace so expect it to leave you at the side of a few motorways in a cloud of steam from time to time. late ones have the new v6 and are much much better, look for the bonnet bulge as a giveaway goes up not down like the earlier models.

anything german is too common or boring to consider realistically unless you look at m3s but then you look like a 318i with a bodykit wannabe,

a rx8 is the only other option close to the 350z, the 225 is just as fast and just as thirsty, feels razor sharp to drive though cos it soo much lighter and has a pair of doors to confuse old people but you can pick one up cheap as chips.

between those two, for me the 350, love the noise and looks just make sure its a late spec!!!
