Coolest Car to go to dairy queen in?
My boss is in the market for a new car. Since her 2004 XJ12 is getting to old according to her. She wants something classy, sporty, and something she could also take her 2 gand kids in. After showing her alot of cars she has it narrowed down to 3 cars. She told me to do some research and tell her what car I think would be best for her. Since im the car guy she would rather take my opinion other than her (millionire realestate) husband who knows nothing about cars, or the dealer people. But in all reality im just going to pick the most fun car to drive because I drive her car proabbly 3 times a week to go to dairy queen or pick up files for people, maybe 100 miles a week.
Here are the 3 cars its narrowed down to. Ive driven both the Bently and M3 before when I did professional installs, ive only dirven the 4 door maserati not the grandsport, but assume the grandsport should be a little more fun to drive.
BMW M3
Maserati Grand Sport
Bently Continental GT

Rep Power: 266 when I think millionaire's wife, I'd think a bentley if it wasn't an SUV. It's more luxury than performance which is why I equate it to a woman's taste.
I might recommend an Aston though

Rep Power: 321 M3's you see everyday, Maserati's are rare and so are Bentley's, But the Bentley is true Balla Status, not many can say they own that. Bimmer's are Bimmer's, Bentley's are Balla
I sure wish my car was newer

Rep Power: 364 M3 is out of the running as it is no longer in production. If the woman thinks a 2004 vehicle is too old, she's not going to be satisfied with something in its last model year.
If she is able to afford it, the BCGT hands down.

Rep Power: 0 I thought there was a new M3 coming out with a V8? Or was that just a rumor? I can't remember where I read/heard that, so I can't verify.
But my vote goes for the Bentley GT. I saw one of those at QT by Mira Vista, and myself and anyone that saw it was like, "Daaammmmnnn..."
Even non-car-people know it's a bad-*** car. An M3 looks like a 3-series to the uneducated, and a Maserati looks a lot like a Jaguar if you don't know what you're looking at. But Bentley... Man. Everyone knows you're a baller if you roll up in a Continental GT. Especially to Dairy Queen.

Rep Power: 379 well i still don't know what to tell her. The grandsport in red is amazing looking. and she dosen't want a 4 door. I thinking about telling her the Bently because it is extremly nice and fun to drive. Ive driven one for almost an entire day, and trust me its a total blast.

Rep Power: 583 are these the 3 choices that she narrowed down for you or you narrowed down for her?
because if she can afford the bentley, wtf is she doing looking at the m3?
none of these are really chick cars...so i dont know why she would like any of them. the bentley is too much bling. probably a great car, but too showy, too much. if thats the one she picks though, suggest the gtc...cant go wrong w/ a drop top.
the maserati is great, but also more of a dude's car than something like a benz. besides, i dont think theres a lot of room in the back for her grandkids in the 2 door. the quatroporte is definitely a dude's car.
the m3 is just a waste on her. shes not gonna drive it like its supposed to be driven, so why bother?
maybe shell be back in the market by the time the porsche panamera comes to america. that would be a hot car.
my suggestion is a jag xk convertible.

Bentley without a doubt. If she chose the Maserati, I wouldn't be mad at her. Dont' get me wrong, I love M3's, but when you got options like the two previously mentioned, M3 doesn't come close.

Rep Power: 365 bentley=you have more money than you know what to do with. bentley does not equal class, but tacky waste of money on a car that isn't that great to begin with. m3 is the best, convince her to put money in upgrades. maserati = ferrari-i-wish-i-was, but-look-too-much-like-a-jag-to-pull-it-off
