The Bottom Line: The 2007 Mazda MX-5 PRHT drives well and looks great. It doesn't come with much cabin gadgetry, and what is there disappoints, but its customer base is more likely to value RPMs over MP3s.

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Honda S2000 is almost pure sports car, more suited for winding roads than trips to the grocery store or the daily commute. It's a car you will dream about driving while you're stuck in the office, and is best used for recreation.

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL550 combines performance, technology, and luxury in respective measure, although it struggles to justify its $100,000 price tag.

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Saturn Sky Red Line is the ideal car for stalking in the urban jungle and attacking freeway on-ramps. Great performance and a head-turning body style outweigh its cramped cabin and low-tech interior.

The Bottom Line: The 2007 Volkswagen Eos is nudging into Audi territory in terms of features and quality, but with a price to match. Average cabin tech and odd performance characteristics suggest people will buy this car more for looks than driving fun.

The Bottom Line: With its superior handling and power, the Porsche Boxster S begs to be driven hard. A full array of cabin electronics is available for navigation, music, and cell phones, but this package could benefit from an in-dash CD changer.

The Bottom Line: Not the most practical car, the 2006 Volvo C70 looks very stylish with the top down or up, and its audio system is among the best we've heard. The navigation system isn't a very worthwhile option, since it usually can't be seen because of glare, and this car is not for the driving enthusiast.
