Coupe

The 2013 Audi R8 works on many levels. It’s quiet enough to drive every day, and when you need to turn up the wick, however, this R8 responds better than ever. The combination of the new transmission, adaptive suspension and always usable power add up to a sweetie of a sports car.

Sedan

The 2012 BMW 328i is a quick sedan that gives up little in the way of performance to its competitors. If this is the future of four-cylinder performance, the cylinder sacrifice isn’t going to be a problem.

SUV/Truck

With the new 2010 Lexus RX450h (for hybrid), Lexus apparently decided not to make any radical changes to the previous version — they simply left well enough alone.
