Why should I also consider these? X

Like the 3-Series, the 2008 Audi A5 has a very understated appearance, but while the A5's interior is more stylish and inviting, the 3-Series interior is a bit more conservative.

The 3-Series has nimbler handling than the A5, and the base 328i accelerates almost as quickly as the A5's only engine, but the A5 has a roomier trunk than the 3-Series or other rivals.

The Infiniti G37 Coupe has a firmer ride and sharper steering like that of the 3-Series, but it's not quite as comfortable as either coupe, and its interior can be noisy.

The CLK has the most dated appearance of these three, in a fickle area of the market where buyers must typically be seen in what's new and fresh.
