What Edmunds.com says:
The 2010 Porsche Panamera provides amazing performance and cosseting luxury in a practical sedan package. Just watch out for price-inflating options.

  • 2014 Cadillac ELR

    2. 2014 Cadillac ELR (10.0%)

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    While the 2014 Cadillac ELR offers the green appeal of a plug-in hybrid and the arresting style of a high-end coupe, it's hard to justify the high asking price given its similarity to Chevy's Volt.

    What Edmunds.com says:
    Fast, comfortable and dramatic, the 2009 Ferrari California is the most well-rounded grand touring convertible in the company's history.

    What Edmunds.com says:
    If you've been wanting a roomier IS sedan with a high-end interior, the revamped 2014 Lexus IS 350 is right up your alley. It's less convincing as a sport sedan, however, and more demanding drivers will likely prefer its European rivals.

  • 2014 Jeep Cherokee

    5. 2014 Jeep Cherokee (7.1%) - Tie

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2014 Jeep Cherokee has more off-road capability than anyone expects from a crossover, but the bigger story is that it's civilized and comfortable enough to drive to work every day. It's worth a look if you're shopping for a small SUV.

  • 2011 Nissan Juke

    5. 2011 Nissan Juke (7.1%) - Tie

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    It might not be love at first sight, but a drive in the 2011 Nissan Juke will have you seeing the inner beauty of this feisty little hatchback.

  • 2014 BMW i3

    7. 2014 BMW i3 (6.8%)

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    For city dwellers interested in buying an electric vehicle, the 2014 BMW i3 should make a compelling -- and spirited -- choice.

    What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe bundles excellent rear-wheel-drive driving dynamics and brisk performance into an attractive -- and attractively priced -- package.

    What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2010 Acura ZDX is a head scratcher -- a hefty crossover SUV that's about as practical as a compact hatchback. Maybe you'll like the styling.

  • 2010 Lincoln MKT

    10. 2010 Lincoln MKT (2.3%)

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    From its turbocharged V6 to its quiet and upscale interior, the all-new 2010 Lincoln MKT has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, we think its quirky styling and relatively steep price tag compared to other luxury crossovers may limit its appeal.

  • 2011 Nissan Leaf

    11. 2011 Nissan Leaf (2.0%)

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    With the 2011 Nissan Leaf, a real (and realistically priced) electric car is finally here.

    What Edmunds.com says:
    The electric-car segment gets its most affordable contender with the 2012 Mitsubishi i.
