Post Tough Car Decision

this poll is for a friend of mine and i am trying to help him out. i have been thinking about this as well. anyhow, my friend is 22 years old and wants to buy a new car. he is very interested with the m3 but is also VERY interested on the new upcomming audi rs4. now the rs4 being around the same price as a 05/06 m3 right now $55-$60,000 offers a larger engine, more hp and torque, and awd quattro. he is also interested in the 05 clk55 amg from mercedez benz. he is very confused on which to go with so i am making this poll to help him out. he lives in ny so he gets all 4 seasons and this car will be his everday car through rain, snow, and shine. my friend is not worried about the wait line or when he will be able to get it. he just wants to know which car he should stick with. any thoughts opinions would be nice as well. thanks guys.

Doesn't the RS4 sticker for much higher than that?

Anyway, my answer is (if he wants a manual):

1. RS4
2. M3 stick, not SMG
3. CLK55

If no preference, then:

1. CLK55
2. RS4
3. M3

If he needs 4 doors, then:

RS4 or C55

Best of luck with the decision.
