Right now a Quattroporte. I am super excited to see the new M5 though, and a CLS AMG would definitely be up there.

I know theres much better and much more refined choices, but I have a thing for the Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S. I'm not so crazy about the stripes, but the Walkinshaw supercharger on this thing sounds ridiculous.

ZOMG the Honda Accord of course, anything but Honda is crap.

Seriously probably the ZR-1

Some people either didn't read the title or don't know what a sedan is.

My reasonable choice would be the CTS-V for sure. I'm not sure what a more-expensive choice would be. I guess I don't dream as big as some of you

"What this car does is it goes to 11" - Great quote. Although that supercharger whine is HORRIBLE. If you are checking Aussie cars, check out anything from FPV like the GS.

You can come very close to getting this in the USA

SLP Firehawk G8 GT Supercharged V8
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/23/pontiac-slp-firehawk-g8-gt-details-pricing-released/

Depending on the driver, road surface conditions and outside air temperature, the Supercharged Firehawk will generate 0-60 mph times of 4.3 seconds and 1/4 mile times of 12.6 seconds @ 115 mph, based on preliminary testing.

Already got the G8 GT part Hence why I'm a drawn to the Vauxhall. The TVS/Magnacharger is nice but I like the annoying scream of the Walkinshaw and the 6-spd manual (I know, I could of held out for a GXP). SLP tends to put a pretty big mark-up on their packages, then again it comes with a warranty. The Magnacharger will find it's way to my garage sooner or later.

I'd be perfectly happy with a BMW M3 Sedan or Cadillac CTS-V. Don't see the need to spend much more on a sedan..
