All Coupe/Hatchback

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Audi R8 is a serious blast to drive on the right roads and would be incredible on the track, but we recommend going with the manual transmission to make it more drivable in everyday circumstances. The cabin electronics work well enough but aren't cutting edge.

Specs: Coupe, quattro, Gas

The Bottom Line: Fun and practical to drive, the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe is sporty and looks good. Its navigation system, while basic, gets the job done, and it has added features such as Bluetooth cell phone integration.

The Bottom Line: The redesigned 2008 Volvo V70 is a stylish grocery getter with plenty of get-up-and-go. Its entertainment and active safety tech options are impressive, but its lack of Bluetooth hands-free calling is a disappointment.

The Bottom Line: The 2008 Honda Fit Sport looks good, but falls short of its potential. We want really good mileage and low emissions in exchange for a low-power engine, but the Fit doesn't deliver, and it has no interesting cabin tech.
