Maybe we should give it a lifetime achievement award, too. There's nothing surprising about this repeat All-Star winner.

Evolutionary improvements keep the Vette in a class of its own. The C6 gets a re-work for 2008 and we approve.

Putting General Motors and Detroit firmly back on the map. Chevy's new Malibu is a very competitive family sedan.

Psst! Looking for a wild good time? G hits the spot. The G35 sedan and G37 coupe provide enjoyment per dollar that rivals the venerable BMW 3-series.

We loved it last year. We love it even more this time around. This lightweight Lotus makes the list once again.

The deviant crossover with the devil in its heart. The CX-9 is one family hauler we're more than happy to drive.

Like a perfect fairy tale, the luxury car that's just right. The Mercedes-Benz S-class is a luxury car All-Star.

Pure indulgence, smile after smile, mile after mile. The Boxster and Cayman duo continue to please.

Fast, fun, cheap, and German. If you don't like it, you're probably dead.

For adults only: The smoothly chic, Scandinavian cool four-seat hatch. Volvo's funky C30 parks itself in the All-Star garage.

You've seen the winners. Now take a look at the cars that didn't quite get enough votes to make the All-Star list.
