Porsche Panamera
Sedan |
If I could give the 2010 Porsche Panamera more than five stars, I would. Porsche purists may disagree but the new Panamera sedan is a winning combination of luxury and performance.

Rolls-Royce Ghost
Sedan |
The Ghost has most of the luxuries of the Phantom, but is smaller, speedier, less expensive, and a tad less ostentatious. It will make more people dream of owning a Rolls-Royce.

Porsche Boxster
Convertible |
The Boxster Spyder is a blast to drive but the Boxster S is so good that only obsessive driving enthusiasts are likely to be able to discern the difference. My heart says to go with the Spyder with a stick shift, my head says go with the Boxster S with a PDK.

2010
BMW 7 Series
Sedan |
The 2010 BMW 750Li with xDrive offers the luxury and legroom of a limo but the power and handling of a, well, BMW. This flagship luxury sedan is much improved, especially if you live in the snowbelt.

The 2010 Acura ZDX crossover may be pricey but it offers style, practicality, finesse, power, and rakish good looks.

2009
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Coupe |
Buying an ‘09 ZR1 is likely to be tough, unless you’re willing to pay a substantial premium. The best idea is probably to put in your order now on a 2010 and hope to get one for list price.

2009
Volkswagen Jetta TDI
Sedan |
VW’s new Jetta TDI is quicker and sportier and handles better than most hybrids, yet its $23,000 starting sticker puts it in the same price class as the 2010 Prius and Insight.

Cadillac’s successful new SRX crossover offers bold styling and plenty of power—but fancy options quickly drive up the bargain base price

2010
Chevrolet Equinox
SUV/Truck |
The 2010 Equinox is a classy, well-designed compact SUV that actually gets better mileage than the Honda CR-V, Toyota Rav4, Ford Escape, and Kia Sorento. That’s right: It’s a Chevy that beats even the Asian competition in fuel economy.

Sedan |
The front-wheel drive Sonata, Hyundai’s best-selling U.S. model, is bigger, quicker, more sophisticated, and more fuel-efficient than the model it’s replacing.
