The 2009 BMW Z4 is sexy-looking, but you didn’t know it’s sexy under the hood, too. My test car had a twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder engine that got me everywhere in a big hurry. For the first time in who knows how long (ever), some dude tried to pick me up at a stoplight. I just laughed and left him in the dust.

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe - 7/09/09
MSRP: $22,000 - $29,500 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 21 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Although the Genesis coupe certainly isn’t built as a typical mom-mobile, there are plenty of atypical moms in the world looking for their automotive match. Read on, dear friends, and see if the Genesis coupe from Hyundai might fit the bill.

2009 Nissan 370Z Sport - 7/07/09
MSRP: $29,930 - $39,130 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 18 CityDetails: 2 Seats, 1 Rows, 0 Latch Connectors
Only $30,000 and soon available as a convertible? Why, oh why can’t Nissan squeeze in a backseat and all-wheel drive??

2009 Infiniti G37 Coupe - 4/02/09
MSRP: $33,250 - $37,000 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 18 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
Have you ever driven a car that brought tears of joy to your eyes with a mere touch of the gas pedal? If your answer is no, you should seriously consider giving the 2009 Infiniti G37 coupe a test drive. This truly magnificent machine will pamper all your senses with its style and power.
The 2008 Porsche Cayman begged me to accelerate out of corners and find roads with plenty of turns. The Cayman was fast off the line at the stoplight, to be sure, but she was a real treat on twisty back roads. (I was going the speed limit, of course.)

2008 Bentley Continental GT - 10/13/08
MSRP: $175,990 - $199,990 | MPG: 17 Hwy, 10 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
It should be no surprise that driving the 2008 Bentley Continental GT was a refined experience, but I still feel guilty that I drove it to the grocery store and my child’s preschool.
While driving the 2008 IS-F, the super-fast version of Lexus’ midsize sedan, I imagined a cartoon angel and devil riding on each shoulder. The devil on my shoulder loved nearly every minute of driving this fast car.

2008 BMW 128i Convertible - 10/08/08
MSRP: $28,600 - $33,100 | MPG: 27 Hwy, 19 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
I’m dubbing the 128i the toddler of BMW’s lineup; while it’s scrumptiously attractive and super fun at times, it can be downright testy in its daily use.

2008 BMW 335i Convertible - 9/17/08
MSRP: $39,300 - $49,500 | MPG: 25 Hwy, 17 CityDetails: 4 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
A BMW convertible is always fun, but did you know that the 2008 BMW 335i convertible is also a wonderful PMS buster? As the 335i rolled into my driveway, I was already suffering, but driving it proved to be a PMS-lifting experience.

2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 - 9/15/08
MSRP: $63,835 - $94,085 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 16 CityDetails: 5 Seats, 2 Rows, 2 Latch Connectors
The 2008 Jaguar XJ Super V8 will lure you and your family with its luxurious leather, substantial backseat and its two — that’s right, count ‘em, two — rear entertainment systems.
