I dunno what a G60 means but a S/C Corrado is better. 240s are too played out and 99% of the owners are complete ricers.

I would take a Corrado any day over a 240 but like CP says they are rare and still quite expensive. Regardless if you get the s/c or n/a version, you can always swap a VR6 motor and boost that. I personally have driven one with a 96 passat vr6 motor boosted and it was amazing.

I always thought Scirraco's where ugly, Carrado is the way to go, I wanted to get a G60 instead of my BMW but I couldnt find one...

the only n/a version of the corrado has a VR6. You have two options: G60 (s/c 4cyl) or VR6 (n/a 6cyl).

Get the corrado. Be for-warned: these cars can have electrical gremlins and can get expensive to fix. Also, plan on replacing the s/c eventually.
