What Edmunds.com says:
The 2010 Aston Martin DB9 may not be the ultimate driver's car, but what it lacks in maximum thrills it makes up for with stunning good looks and loads of character.

  • Audi S5

    2. Audi S5

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2010 Audi S5's repertoire expands thanks to the new soft-top S5 Cabriolet and its exclusive supercharged V6, while the classy V8 continues to power the coupe. If you want a luxury performance coupe or convertible, the S5 belongs on your short list.

  • BMW M6

    3. BMW M6

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2010 BMW M6 has one of the best engines on the planet. If you're down with the styling, high-performance coupes don't get much better for $100,000.

  • Maserati GranTurismo

    4. Maserati GranTurismo

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    The Maserati GranTurismo is a passionate and highly desirable interpretation of the 2+2 grand touring coupe.

  • Bentley Continental GTC

    5. Bentley Continental GTC

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    The Bentley Continental GTC isn't the sportiest or cheapest luxury convertible around, but as a sheer statement-maker, it has few peers.

  • Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    6. Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    Recent updates have addressed what few faults the SL-Class had in the past. The result is a more aggressively styled and significantly better driving sports car. And oh -- it still has that nifty retractable hardtop.

  • Jaguar XKR

    7. Jaguar XKR

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2010 Jaguar XK boasts substantial performance capabilities that don't come at the cost of luxury or charm. Although it's certainly not perfect, Jag's much-improved XK deserves serious consideration.

  • Cadillac XLR-V

    8. Cadillac XLR-V

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    Fast, stylish and full of features, the 2009 Cadillac XLR-V is an interesting alternative to European-brand luxury roadsters. Just be aware that some competitors are more refined and involving to drive.

  • Lexus SC 430

    9. Lexus SC 430

    • What Edmunds.com says:
    The 2010 Lexus SC 430 is getting a little dated, but its combination of a retractable hardtop, smooth ride and luxurious interior still make it a fine choice for sunny climates.
