LUXURY SEDANS Infiniti M35 The M35 is a luxurious, well-rounded sedan. It even outscored all of the luxury sedans in our tests. The ride and handling are well-suited for twisty roads as well as the highway. The V6 engine is strong and powerful. Interior accommodations are generous, and the materials are of high quality and well-constructed. AWD is available. More sedans |

MIDSIZED SUVs Lexus RX The car-based RX has a comfortable ride and a refined and responsive V6 engine, and it handles better than most traditional truck-based SUVs. The interior is luxurious and quiet, and the rear seat is roomy enough for three. The hybrid version (RX400h) offers improved acceleration with incremental fuel-economy gains. More SUVs |

PERFORMANCE LUXURY SPORTS CARS Audi S4 Audi's S4 is a high-performance version of the A4. Power comes from a smooth 340-hp, 4.2-liter V8 engine that drives all four wheels. A six-speed manual transmission is standard; a six-speed automatic is optional. We found the ride stiff but not punishing, unlike the ride in other sports cars. Handling is very capable and secure. The interior is well finished and nicely appointed. The power-operated leather Recaro racing-style seats are supportive and comfortable. Crash-test results for the sedan are excellent.
