What's everyone's opinion on the best AWD coupe? The only one that comes to mine right now is the Audi TT, I know they improved the new one, added more horses, stiffer chassis, but I think there's gotta be a better AWD coupe out there? Anyone?
I am still a newbie to this site; but thanks to everyone who responded to my previous questions, it's great to find a place where people love cars and enjoy just driving as much as I do.

The new Porsche 911's have AWD, just as fast as the RWD versions but has a ton of grip.

Sorry, I guess my description was vague.
AWD coupe, under 100k, and has to be a new model

Only ones I can think of off the top of my head are the 911 Carrera 4, 911 Carrera 4s, and BMW E92 328xi Coupe.

Well, apart from the awd 911 Carrera's, then my vote would go to Audi's new TT (with the 3.2L V6 and S-Line package).

not too many awd coupes. if you like a convertible, there's always the Audi A4 cabriolet, or better yet the S4 cabriolet.

The Audi RS4 (http://www.audiusa.com/audi/us/en2/new_cars/Audi_A4/RS_4.html) will stomp a mudhole in your behind. 420HP with a twin turbo V8, get an ecu upgrade to pump out around 500HP and all for under 68K.

it's worse than that.
the last gen RS4 only came as an estate and was only 380bhp.
so let's see, it's Not a coupe, Not a new car and not even the right horsepower (for the twin turbo car)
if you're talking about the new RS4 (420bhp) then, it's still not a coupe and it's not twin turbo.
it helps to know what you are talking about before typing or even actually to read what is writen in the link you provide.
forgetting this for a bit though, as a car in general, i find it hard to ignore the new RS4 for it's all round versatility.
Put it this way, the only other cars I can think of that might sway me from buying this is either a 911 or an M3.
going back to the thread topic.
Do R34s count as an AWD Coupe?
Not available in the US but Alfa's Brera can be had with AWD.
and if you're going for old school group B homolagaton cars then my vote goes to the Ford RS200.

If only the M3 is RWD? Either way, I still love the car and dream of the day of being able to drive one.
A lower end AWD coupe would be the WRX. But I don't think it comes in a coupe correct?

Ya im sorry I guess I started to think about the last gen and somehow overlocked the coupe :banghead:.
your best bet then would be an Audi TT.

Nope. They used to have coupe Impreza's (Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS) but we never got any of the good ones (WRX or STi version of said coupes). We've only been getting sedan WRX's and STI's since they got here/became legal.
