Come into our dream garage. Here you'll find our favorites from this year's crop -- cars we've become attached to, cars we cherish, cars that make us smile. You'll find the right car for every situation: The car to take the edge off of your daily commute. The car for ferrying your kids, their gear, their friends. The car for leisurely weekend jaunts, picnics in the country, trips to the beach. The car that will snag the primo valet spot at that hot nightclub. The car for getting away from it all, solo. Our criteria, like those of most car shoppers, were highly subjective, even emotional. We looked for cars that were fresh and good-looking -- and capable of turning heads. They had to be trendsetters, not followers. Then there was the cool factor, a buzz about the car. Fit and finish, and high-quality interiors, were a given. And, of course, they had to be fun to drive. We think our cars will find their way into your heart, too. Maybe even into your garage.
