    Man this blew up, I have already tried a mas coupe( it was my dads but he let me use it while my jaguar was in the shop for a leaky trunk) and while I drove it it broke twice(note I had it for 3 days) first time the car wouldnt start after a trip to a car show, second time was me going over a speed bump to fast and the car died.
    I would say I could do any car. I like the original boxster, my dad has an old sl and its a fun car as well as a 458, jaguar xks was fun but I already have a jaguar still a fun car, every one owns a 911 but again still a fun car, the only real competitor to the 360 which I have dicided is my favorite Ferrari is the Audi r8/ continental gt. And in case you were wondering why I am in the market I can admit my dad has spolied me a little but most of this is self made by flipping cars and helping my dad in his law firm, Also as I was going home from school this car showed up

    I would say test drive all 4, one should 'speak to you the most' or at the very least should narrow it down.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Kind regards.

    I've spent quite some time with an XJ8 so I know it quite well, my favorite thing was the interior - that smell reminds me of being in an old English abode, not a big fan of the ride though. The 4 cars you listed are very different, and it sounds like you've crossed out the XJR. That said, you should get behind the wheel of the R8/Caymen/360 - one should whisper louder to you than the others. If not - and it really is a toss-up - then let price/condition be tiebreaker.

    That's my 2 pennies.

    My daily right now is an 03 xj8 its just the right speed and length but my current sports car a lotus Elise is just killing my back and it is impossible to drive when it is even a little wet

    You do you my friend. If you like it - don't worry what others think, There are no rules on what livery is required. (exception with pink)

    Again, it comes down to what pleases you - drive the 360/Caymen S/R8 - one should percolate to the top - I think it's a wrong approach to ask what we think is the best car for you. It's just too subjective.
