Car and Driver Names its 10Best Cars for 2011
Three American, three German, one Korean, and three Japanese brands win? the magazine's highest honor

November 23, 2010 - Ann Arbor, Michigan –

Car and Driver, the world's largest automotive enthusiast publication, today announced its 10Best Cars for 2011. Amid high-horsepower machinery such as the 556-hp Cadillac CTS-V, the editors at Car and Driver included an electrically powered vehicle for the first time ever-the groundbreaking Chevrolet Volt.

"Our 10Best award celebrates the best cars on sale in America for less than $80,000," said Car and Driver VP/editor-in-chief, Eddie Alterman. "In our testing," Alterman continued, "we are looking for those automobiles that deliver spectacular value, real driver engagement, and the highest fulfillment of their intended missions. Our testing takes place over a week on real roads in the real world, marshalling more than 60 new test cars and our entire editorial staff. It's a real workout, and the best cars on the market emerge victorious."

Below is the list of Car and Driver's 10Best Cars for 2011:

BMW 3-series/M3
Cadillac CTS-V
Chevrolet Volt
Ford Mustang GT
Honda Accord
Honda Fit
Hyundai Sonata
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Porsche Boxster/Cayman
Volkswagen Golf/GTI

 

Less than $80,000??

Maybe they should test cars that cost a little less... you know, so that the test is actually useful to real consumers.

I just bought a HOUSE for less than that.

 

Lots of other cars I'd rather have than the Accord. Volt is unproven, who knows what awaits. VW needs to learn to build an electrical system before I'd even go near their lot.

 

It's great to see the Mustang GT made the list. This is just further validation that the Mustang is the real deal! Can't wait till spring so I can start seriously looking at purchasing my own Mustang GT.

 

Nice to see both our cars at home made the list.

Glad the mustang is getting it's due.


Shameless picture post:

 

Yeah, but what's your house's quarter-mile time?

 

I suppose a tornado could give the house an outstanding quarter mile time.

 

I'm LOL that the Camar car didn't show on that list! Maybe because they said the Saidu Prince owns 1% of GM stock! LOL

 

1.154 seconds if we include the natural rotation of the Earth based on the latitude of North Liberty, Indiana.

 

Ahh the GT and a Honda FIt both ends of the perf spectrum !! unless my Wife is driving !!! LOL

 

Very clever. I hope the people in North Liberty are wearing helmets. Especially if they try bringing there houses to an emergency stop.
