Coupe

The Ferrari F430 is more than a cold-blooded G-force generator. It’s a total experience, one that dopes every pleasure receptor in your brain with automotive giddiness. Call it the alchemy of desirability.

Convertible

In Aston Martin nomenclature, the DBS is the top of the line and the Volante is the convertible. While the DBS coupe is a direct competitor to the Ferrari 599 GTB, the Volante exists in its own superexclusive sphere, a classic droptop front-engine V-12 sports car.

Yes, the 430 Scuderia is Enzo-fast on the track, but thanks to F1-Trac, its actually easier to drive than the regular F430.

You might conclude that the Lotus Exige S240 is a throwback, a relic of simpler days. On the contrary, I see it as a harbinger of the future. It’s simple, light and fun.

Nissan gave the GT-R a clear mission: Domninate the racetrack while providing seating for four, room for two sets of golf clubs and year-round livability.

With fuel prices what they are, let me get straight to the most important fact about the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4: it gets eighteen percent better fuel economy.

After much driving and much debate, there was only one conclusion: The Esquire Car of the Year is the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO. We were as surprised as you are. The reason can be boiled down to four words: Looks good, goes fast.

In the wonderful world where a $200,000 car is deemed discrete, the Bentley Continental Supersports could be viewed as a shrewd extravagance.

The 335d is legitimately fast: zero to sixty in six seconds, which is quicker than the manual-transmission 328i. And \ the government will actually pay you $900 to buy this 130-mile-per-hour luxury car. Buy a Bimmer, stick it to the Man.

The G8 will absolutely wreck anything with a price tag remotely near it: zero to 60 in 4.7 seconds — the exact amount of time required by the Porsche 911 — but with four doors and a big trunk and a handsome yet innocuous profile that won’t draw the attention of law enforcement.
