The Bottom Line: The 2009 Lincoln MKS is a star when it comes to in-cabin entertainment and information sources, especially at its price. But you will have to be content with a comfortable, rather than sporty, ride.

The Bottom Line: The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG combines very impressive performance on road and track with first-rate cabin electronics, making it fun and convenient. Just make sure you budget for gas.

The Bottom Line: The 2009 Jaguar XF offers a lot of luxury for the money, with many unique high-tech touches and an exceptional audio system. But it doesn't always deliver on its apparent promise, with a run-of-the-mill suspension and navigation system.

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Volvo S80 is one of the more comfortable cars we've tested, and gets good mileage for a car of its size. Cabin tech doesn't go out of its way to work with personal electronics, but the safety gear is cutting edge.
