2007 Automobile Magazine All-Stars Top 10
You can add another award to the list. The new Infiniti G35 just made Automobile Magazine's All-Stars list. Congrats to the G and everyone else!
Their Top 10 best cars for 2007.
Infiniti G35--Thanks to its superbly balanced chassis, terrific grip, and a punchy powertrain, this car challenges the dominance of BMW's 3-series.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage--This car could just about make the cut for its sensational looks alone, but it also offers a sublime driving experience and a truly inspirational engine.
BMW 3-Series--Remains one of the most complete cars on sale today, from its driving dynamics, quality of build, and the sheer pleasure of ownership it offers.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06--A friendly daily-driver that'll leave Ferraris and Lamborghinis for dead, the Vette is an all-American hero.
Chrysler 300C--This one is a classic American: big V-8, rear-wheel drive, and a unique style that absolutely charms. Practical to own, too.
Honda Ridgeline--A clear winner with its unibody construction that gives a tight, rattle-free ride; Honda quality; and its very clever underbed trunk.
Lotus Elise--An undiluted driving machine that deftly combines light weight, electrifying performance, and near-telepathic chassis response.
Mazda 3--Terrific to drive, stylish, spacious, and capable of 155 mph in turbo guise, this proves that small cars can aspire to greatness.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class--One of the best-built luxury cars on sale at any price, its features technology that truly makes life easier and safer.
Porsche Cayman--With an extra-stiff structure, Porsche engineers were able to deliver stability, grip, ride, and composure that are just about unmatched.

...and it's going to get quite a few of them before everything is all said and done. You know...the only thing I haven't heard mentioned too much from award givers is its unique, organic styling. Maybe that's just too subjective.Originally Posted by Garnet Canuck
