I would agree with about half that list. The new GTI is arguably an epic little car for the price, but it's really just a few suspension and interior tweaks away from the 2007 model. I have to say the Regal and Fiesta are great new entries, I find the XJ looks like a barge on the outside (although the interior is gorgeous). The Sonata, while stylish, isn't a complete design in my opinion (too shouty, I prefer clean Germanic designs) and the Juke is downright silly looking, even if it is also brilliant underneath. Looking at this list, I'd have to say hats off to the domestics - Ford, GM and Chrysler all have great new models out that are not just 'good for the money', but actually just good in general.

IMO, that's actually a great list.  I can see why each one of them was picked.

I don't really have a problem  with anything on that list. The Regal and Grand Cherokee (V6) are perhaps a little light in the performance dept but both bring a lot of other positives to the table.

I actually think the Juke is pretty cool looking in a dune buggy sort of way. ;D

Hyundai looks poised to do to Toyota and Honda what Lexus did to Mercedes in the 90's  :run:

I have to agree with this list ;D  The Juke has 7000km and it's been great so far, this thing loves snow.

I had a new Grand Cherokee Laredo rental this week. I was totally impressed by the refinement of this SUV. Nice ride and handling, good power and incredibly quiet inside. I pushed it to 90 mph on a FL highway and no trace of wind noise. I had to double check that I was not at 90 KPH! Really worthy of the top 10 list IMHO.
