Mazda3 - The newest Mazda3 Sport is not only lean and lithe, it also has an instantly eye-catching grille that makes it look it's grinning from ear-to-ear ... er, side mirror-to-side mirror. It's the automotive equivalent of a contagious laugh.

Audi TT

Audi TT - The newest TT sheds the overly-round, bubbly look of its predecessor, making for an athletic-but-still-sexy 2+2 seater. 'Chick car' no more!

Chevrolet Malibu

Chevrolet Malibu - The Malibu was the North American Car of the Year for 2006, and the handsome styling sure didn't hurt it at all. In a segment full of ho-hum vehicles, the Malibu managed to stay ahead of the pack thanks to this classy redesign.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Mercedes-Benz C-Class - The newest C-Class was totally redesigned for 2008, getting a much more aggressive look. Gone were the round headlights and ostentatious look, replaced for a more aggressive-looking vehicle.

Acura TSX

Acura TSX - Though its sibling the TL received quite the controversial new look, the TSX changed in all the best ways. Lots of angles - just look at those head lights and tail lights - made for something that is both dynamic and fresh-looking.

Volvo XC70

Volvo XC70 - Wagons often get a hard time for being to 'family-like', but the XC70 is one wagon that bucks that trend. The XC stands for 'cross country', and after its latest redesign, there's no doubt that this is a vehicle that is fully capable of offroading. Big standard wheels, large side mirrors and foglights show how rugged this car is, while brushed aluminum roof rails give this luxury wagon some added class.

Mitsubishi Lancer

Mitsubishi Lancer - When the Lancer was redesigned in 2008, it didn't just become one of the nicest compact sedans - it became one of the best-looking cars on the road. One look at the angry 'eyes' on the front of this car showed that it means business. The gaping mouth of the Evolution and Ralliart versions only further cemented its status as a real looker.

BMW 7 Series

BMW 7 Series - With its newest redesign, the latest generation 7 Series is easily one of the sportiest looking luxury sedans on the road.

Honda Fit

Honda Fit - A little controversy never hurt anyone, and despite an almost love-it-or-hate-it redesign, the latest generation Fit earned several design awards.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai Santa Fe - A lot of people could have done without the previous generation Santa Fe, with its protruding snout. The new Santa Fe, however, is quite attractive, with good proportions and a very clean exterior to make for a very nice looking SUV that few people can claim is in any way unattractive.
