The new SL 63 AMG isn’t for the faint of heart or wallet. It’s like a private jet for two, all sumptuous leather, carbon fiber and a cockpit designed for the driver. The drive isn’t half bad, either. The SL was everything you’d expect a high-end roadster to be

Looks mean, drives like hell and is more fun than a barrel of German monkeys. The Spyder takes everything you love about the drive of a Boxster – the slinky gearbox, the powerful lithe engine, the roadster feel – and pushes it to the tenth degree.

Porsche took an already fantastic car and updated it where it matters – under the sheet metal. The new 911 Turbo, while not inexpensive, truly, an everyday supercar. It’s fast and smooth and drives like nobody’s business, which is to say, perfect.

The 2011 Boxster Spyder is an open-air roadster that is as close to a time machine as you’ll get in a modern car, let alone a Porsche. Looks mean, drives like hell and is more fun than a barrel of German monkeys. We like it, very, very much.

So, what’s it like to drive? It’s fast (it has a top speed of 194 mph, though I could only get it up to 150 mph on track), smooth, and handles perfectly. Porsche took an already fantastic car and updated it where it matters – under the sheet metal.

Yep, best 911 ever. The new 991 is larger, faster, sportier and more efficient. With its near-perfect blend of style, speed and technology, it’s a surefire winner.

A quick spin around the block in the Bentley Continental Supersports will have you exiting the driver’s seat feeling as though you’ve just blown up the Death Star and walked away with the girl. If you’ve managed to keep yourself out of jail, that is.

Can the Insight topple their rival’s king of green? Oh, yes. Honda needed to make the Insight less expensive, more comfortable and more powerful than the Prius, and it seems they have succeeded.

At about under $40,000 fully loaded, the 2011 Charger is a whole lot of bang for the buck. Now it possesses a strong overall performance and competitive interior and exterior look to match a powerful engine and unique heritage

After spending some time in the new Mercedes S400, it is, without a doubt, the nicest hybrid we have ever driven. You are surrounded by all the luxe effects the S-Class has come to represent, which is to say, you feel like the leader of a prosperous eco-friendly country.

The Fiat 500 Abarth is a fun little car in a crowded and ever-changing segment, and does a fine job of standing out thanks to clever packaging and a good power-to-size ratio. “Small but wicked” isn’t really too far off the mark.

The Prius C is a great alternative to the basic economy car and presents a stylish, safe alternative with amazing gas mileage.
