Car and Driver Ten Best Cars - 11-27-2007, 05:49 PM

BMW 3-Series - 17th straight year, a record.
Cadillac CTS
Chevrolet Corvette
Chevrolet Malibu
Honda Accord
Honda Fit
Mazda MX-5
MazdaSpeed 3
Porsche Boxster and Cayman
Volkswagen GTI

Edit to add that when making this list Car and Driver considers the entire range of a given model. For example they consider the entire range of the 3-series - sedan, coupe, convertible and M3.

The Three Series is KING

But seriously, how can you deny this as a great allround car from almost every perspective, only the stubborn in my opinion can turn their nose up to this car....

I guess they felt patriotic when it came to the CTS because I don't see why it and not the G35/G37 combo isn't there. The CTS just got beat in a comparo in the same issue!

Great result for the 3-Series.

And hats off to the Accord which has now been on their list some 22 times.

Yes, it's really not that bad as far as interior and exterior go. And it's way better looking then the previous model. Now I haven't driven it though.

Still might be a winner Merc1....

Re: Car and Driver Ten Best Cars. - 11-29-2007, 08:10 AM

As far as I can tell, the BMW 3er and Honda Accord always make the list. C&D is simply BMW and Honda biased: fact.

That doesn't mean the cars are bad, but this bias is known.

Surprised the Infiniti G37 didn't make it. I thought magazines were raving about that thing.


Now...

Honda Fit?

Mazda MX-5?

HUH?
