The new Corvette, Mazda 3 and 6 were added to the list. I think the only truly unfortunate addition is the Caddy CTS, but whatevs. I think the list as setup has too much... sedan in it. Not a ton of variety. I guess they figured they had to make the list more representative of how Americans should shop without giving up large sized families (or bodies).

Luxury sport sedans:
-Audi A6
-BMW 3/4-series
-Cadillac CTS

Normal sedans:
-Ford Fiesta ST
-Honda Accord
-Mazda 3
-Mazda 6
-Volkswagen Golf/GTI


Umm, the new CTS is a world beater. It belongs on the list.

Well there is one thing we can agree on, losing the Boss Mustang was a damn shame.


The Boss 302 was discontinued after the 2012 MY, so your comment is a year late :-P

I remember when the previous hot Mustang -Cobra R- was new. I loved watching them from trackside because of their ridiculous amounts of brake dive. Not only that, the rear would stand up what seemed like three feet. Reminded me of a kitty-cat raising it's tail... :bellyroll:

Hahaha, nice. I remember the Cobra R with the IRS at an autox way back. Guy was powershifting and destroyed his transmission at the event.:clap:

Oh and I was off a year. Apparently the Boss 302 was available for the 2013 MY, but not the 2014 MY (2 year run) :bellyroll:
