It is a tough one. I assume you ended up with a Lude because it ticked a lot of the boxes, those same boxes still need ticked :lol:

BMW 3 series coupe? I like the newer ones. Or do you want to stay Jap? GT86/BRZ?

I did actually contemplate DC5's a long while back, the trouble is, this:

Even in stock form the lude has a much better side profile. The DC5 just looks like a shoe. :|

I don't like german, apart from merc's I could live with a merc :lol:

yeah I do want a good handling car

unlike the cl500 & sl500's which I considered, more cruiser compared to the lude

I love the look of a dc5's that's not the problem, its the fact its not massive difference to a prelude is it worth buying over a prelude?

without diving a bunch of cars its difficult to splash the cash

I think you're probably right, it's more of a sidestep from the (your) lude.

Not been in one on the road, but I just find DC5's a bit... bland :|

once the prelude was considered bland, now with all the new bland cars it looks unique :lol:

I did also consider the Honda legend KB1?

also bland looking but with a mugen lip kit and nice rims they look the part.
