The Bottom Line: The 2010 Mazda6 is a thoroughly average car in a boring segment, but a couple of tech features keep it from total mediocrity.

Specs: Sedan, Gas

The Bottom Line: Despite its strongly SUV-styled body, the construction, power plant, and cabin tech of the 2010 GMC Terrain are thoroughly modern, equal to or surpassing much of the competition.

Specs: SUV, SLE-2, Gas

The Bottom Line: A sporty looking coupe, the 2010 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5 S proves reasonably fun to drive, while offering a smattering of good cabin tech for entertainment and navigation.

The Bottom Line: As a city car, the 2010 Honda Fit scores mainly for its versatile interior. Dated cabin tech is a little bit of a let-down, as is the complete lack of Bluetooth phone support.

Specs: Hatchback, Gas

The Bottom Line: With its high-tech cabin, the 2010 Audi A5 Cabriolet is a comfortable cruiser, but it is not powerful enough to drive like a sports car.

The Bottom Line: As a tech car, the 2010 Subaru Outback is average at best, lacking many modern amenities. All-wheel-drive is its saving grace, giving it good weather capabilities.

Specs: Wagon, Gas

The Bottom Line: Technically stunning, the 2010 BMW X5 M works as track car and sport driver, but its bad fuel economy will make the daily commute costly. The cabin tech also offers a lot, but a few features fall short of the cutting edge.

Specs: SUV, Gas

The Bottom Line: Lexus' new cabin tech suite helps the 2010 RX 450h keep on par with other car tech leaders, but the hybrid power train gives it a greater edge, delivering superior fuel economy and low emissions.

Specs: SUV, Hybrid

The Bottom Line: Although it has a few nice tech features, the 2010 Infiniti QX56 lags behind its Infiniti stablemates in both performance technology and cabin electronics.

Specs: SUV, Gas

The Bottom Line: The 2010 xB is a solid performer with good handling and confident acceleration. However, its poorly integrated cabin technology is a bit five-years-ago, lagging behind that of other OEMs and the aftermarket.
