I seem to prefer the p10 to the p11, and in some respects to the new G35 which isn't really a traditional compact (big engine). Why is this? Am I sick? The p10 just looks so cute. . .

I would have to disagree. Although in prime condition with body kits and wheels, the p10 is definately a clean ride. But the p11 on the other hand is a whole different animal with same modifications. Thats just my outlook. I own a P10 and enjoy the car alot and its bone stock. But if a p11 came along for the right price, I would be all over it.

I like P10s like I like B13s, old school. Anything else looks goofy.

On the other hand, I like P11s like I like B15s. Keep it simple, let the car shine aeshetically with what it already has, and don't fake that it's a sports car. It's a small sports sedan and it fits the part astoundingly well.

I really can't call one over the other, given that I look at them in such different ways.
