2012 GT-R, 2006 Lancer Evolution
In the market for a new car, guys please chime in!

I am currently looking at buying a new car, but I currently have to many choices to choose from and it's confusing. Please give me some of your opinions and comments if you have driven or owned any of the following cars.

I'm currently driving a 2012 GT-R, but the car doesn't give me an accurate feeling in handling. I want to know if you guys could suggest me to stay with my car or switch to something else. The GT-R is fast, but it's not ever elegant and there are way to many electronic aids. I know for a fact this isn't the most practical car.

I'm looking for performance, handling, convenience, snow drivability, and aftermarket support. Dual Clutch is a plus!

1) 2010 c63 sedan pre-facelift auto
2) 2012 c63 coupe mct
3) 2008 clk63 black series auto
4) 2011 e92 m3 dct
5) 2008 aston martin v8 vantage auto
6) 2008 maserati gt auto
7) 2011 audi ttrs manual
9) 2011 lotus evora ips
10) 2010 porsche carrera s pdk

11) keep 2012 gtr auto

You must live outside of the USA because you mentioned the Audi TTRS manual and is not even available in the USA yet. You mention that Dual Clutch is a must but then you put an Audi TT-RS on the list... make up your mind!!

Actually, you currently have the better car for snow. Your AWD GTR will do better in snow than any RWD car. Save some money and just pick the BMW M-3 sedan or a sedan C63 AMG. The Audi is a bit small, same with the Lotus and Porsche Carrera, they all(the 3 that I just mentioned) compromise on room.
As per atermarket support, stay away from Maserati or Lotus. BMW, Porsche, Mercedes and Audi has some strong aftermarket support.

I have been outdated then. I just checked and you are correct, it is for sale now, I thought it wasn't available until 2012.
