Today's cars or yesterdays?

If you mean TODAY's, then here are my current favorite NON-Lexus vehicles:


Entry-level Commuter: Mazda3 ( maybe the Honda Fit pending a full review )

Fuel-Miser: Honda Civic Hybrid

Family Sedan: Toyota Avalon / Hyundai Azera ( tie )

Roadster: Mazda Miata ( even though I can't really fit in it )

Sports / GT: Chevrolet Corvette

Luxury car: Acura RL

Sports Sedan: Audi S6

Small SUV: Subaru Forester / Hyundai Tuscon ( tie )

Large SUV: Cadillac Escalade ( except for the lousy brakes )

Overall Value and All-Around Driving: Subaru Outback

here is a nice review of the S8-->>CLICK

R&T hooked it up to the test instruments and got 4.7 sec 0-60, not bad for a 4300 lb sedan.
