1. G35- luxury and performance in an affordable 330ci killing package.

2. 350Z- bang for buck; hopefully rejuvenates other deceased Japanese sports cars.

3. Accord- was nearly perfect for over a decade; now better than ever.

4. Pilot- new benchmark of affordable/practical SUV's. BUT THIS IS NOT SUV OF THE YEAR, IT IS COTY, SO THERE REALLY IS NO #4. -02

5. Mazdaspeed Protege- good car, good price
