The Genesis sedan still offers a great ride and remains tricked out with subtle luxury that feels understated and posh. In fact, Hyundai may not be charging enough. And I never thought I would ever say that.

Every part of the exterior denotes the sophistication this car brings. Every piece of its interior denotes the same craftsmanship. Just rev the engine to know the rest of the story. The new Jaguar XJ has arrived, a nearly flawless vehicle that wraps its passengers in a cocoon of luxury.

Few cars manage such a successful marriage between luxury and sportiness as the new A8. It can handle all of the daily driving with a refinement few other cars can match. It would be fantastic for a long road trip, providing lots of space and nearly every imaginable comfort.

The 2012 Audi A7 fills a void no one knew existed until now. This category is known as the I want a luxury sports car, under $60,000 with plush interior, lots of space, looks spectacular and can carry a lot of stuff.

The new Sonata blows the doors off of the Toyota and Honda midsize entries with a more stylish exterior, better gas mileage, comfortable interior and more four-cylinder power than just about any midsize sedan around.

The Escalade Hybrid feels just like the regular Escalade, but still, it feels better.It’s also just a little obscene which makes it so good and bad at the same time and American to its core. It’s easily the Cadillac of Cadillacs.

The BMW M3 is one of the most complete performance cars available today. Just walking up to the M3 will make you think a little faster.

No matter how much I drove the 2012 Mustang Boss 302, I was never satisfied. I only wanted more.

This little racer may have the looks of a bloated “Dungeons & Dragons” 20-sided die, but its little turbo is to die for. Fun cars surprise us and the MazdaSpeed3 is full of surprises.

The thing I like about the Jaguar XJ is how well it lives in both the performance and the luxury realm at the same time. It uses technology to enhance the driving experience without ever feeling over the top.

The scary-quiet 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid can hit 47 mph on electric power only and drive more than 700 miles on a single tank of fuel.

The Corvette Z06 really isn’t a car that comes across as practical. It was never meant to be that way. It’s a high-performance baseball bat that requires a careful wielding all the time. But if you’re willing to give it the attention it demands, it’s worth every second.
