All-Star: 2008 BMW 3-series

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

All-Star: 2008 Chevrolet Corvette

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

All-Star: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

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.

All-Star: 2008 Lotus Elise

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

All-Star: 2008 Mazda CX-9

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

All-Star: 2008 Mercedes-Benz S-class

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

All-Star: 2008 Porsche Boxster/Cayman

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

All-Star: 2008 Volkswagen GTI

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

All-Star: 2008 Volvo C30

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