Mercedes AMG CLA 35 Coupe (4-door) is $49k with 300hp and AWD.

GR Corolla is $35k (and is the correct answer)

WRX starts at $31k and while ugly are making power with a tune.
Nice examples there as competition. I'll, of course, mention that my Genesis G70 is $47K (entry level) with 365hp and AWD. My wife's next car will likely be a Corolla.

Good Lord, what a beaut.

I remember when the "final edition" cars were rolling out -- literally no one was buying them because that market was saturated with potent contenders at the time.

You could get a FE X for like $30k brand new lol.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.



Sick machine and I prefer the 8/9 cars like you posted above, but at $75k, there are better choices IMO.

I remember the 0% deal on the 8's being like $289/M out the door....

And thinking how the hell do people afford that.


*No drives a 20 year old STI that cost that much

For that money the Acura should have AWD.
I totally agree, Travis. You can only get the AWD on the larger TLX sedan. Dumb IMO. Toyoto does the same with their Corolla and Camry. N/A with the Corolla but available with the Camry.
