What Edmunds.com says:
The 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe deserves consideration if you're shopping for a large, truck-based SUV with impressive towing capacity. But for everyday passenger and cargo use, a large crossover SUV might be a better choice.

    What Edmunds.com says:
    The Hyundai Genesis has always offered plenty of features at a very agreeable price. But this year's redesigned 2015 Genesis has all that, plus the quality interior and overall refinement it was missing previously. It's a top choice for a luxury sedan.

    What Edmunds.com says:

    12. 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (3.7%) - Tie

  • What Edmunds.com says:
    Neither exotic nor supercar, the MX-5 Miata remains Mazda's halo car, a roadster that distills the automaker's philosophy of fun, inspired driving into an ultra-compact two-seater. For 2016, the Miata will be smaller and lighter, but should remain one of the most rewarding convertibles you can buy.
