2007 BMW Z4
The Z4 is BMW’s most affordable convertible and easily rates as one of the best handling roadsters in any price category. Distinctive styling is augmented by a driver-oriented cockpit that is surprisingly roomy for taller folks, a rarity in this class. And when it comes to acceleration, handling and braking, the Z4 certainly holds its own against rivals from Porsche, Nissan and even Pontiac.

With its new grille-mounted Star, the sport sedan asserts its Mercedes-Benz performance pedigree.
The 2014 Acura RLX is a new car — though it’s arguably a new name for a completely redesigned existing model, the RL. As before, the RLX rides the line between midsize and full-size sedans, with generous interior volume in what’s roughly a midsize wrapper. As such, even though Acura also sells the midsize TL, the RLX competes with the likes of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Lincoln MKZ.
The RLX’s most unique features are its active steering and optional hybrid-based all-wheel drive.
The A5 coupe and Cabriolet are aimed straight at their fellow two-door heartthrobs: the BMW 3 Series coupe and Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. Like its Deutschland competitors, the A5 seats four. Audi offers a performance version of the A5, the S5, that is covered separately in the Research section.
