well,there are too many good cars that are missing this list.

mkoesel · 11-21-2008, 11:46 AM

As pointed out in the article, the 3 series has made the Ten Best list 18 years straight. This is no small accomplishment, but it would be more newsworthy if it somehow did not make the list.

Anyway, kudos to BMW for another year under the belt.

mkoesel · 11-21-2008, 11:52 AM

BTW, the only changes from last year is that the Chevrolet Malibu and MazdaSpeed3 were dropped in favor of the Infiniti G37 and Jaguar XF. So you can see how slow-changing the list is. Its certainly nothing like the various "car of the year" awards that typically only consider new models and so are completely different each year.

jaay11 · 11-21-2008, 01:04 PM

Yeah, the Infiniti G37 is not a bad car.

gshb · 11-21-2008, 01:20 PM

car&driver

this list will never change so long as all the cars currently on the list are still made.

Sticky2 · 11-21-2008, 01:27 PM

Jaguar XF? Seriously?

Yep, read somewhere that they are taking a BIG hit that first year. I spoke with a guy trying to get out of his 2008 C63 because he wants to buy a house now. No one wants to buy it from him and he has to buy new tires after 6,000 miles. Told me he was getting 8 MPG.....

yea good luck selling that thing.

you drive an MB off the lot, it loses 40% of it's value automatically. all cars take hits, but MB is
