Price Range: $15,670 – $24,535
Body Style: Sedan, coupe
Sum Up: wait for the cruze.

Whats New: With the anticipated arrival of the all-new Cruze world car, the Cobalt is relegated to the soon-to-be gone back burner, a shame since the Cobalt SS is a zippy, decent-looking econobox with good performance credentials and an extensive slate of extras. The only changes for 2010 are two new exterior colors, and revised interior color and trim offerings.

2010 BMW 6-Series Sports Car

Whats New: The big news for 2010 is the new X6 M (see upcoming “Truck/SUV Buyer’s Guide,” November 2009), which means the coupe and convertible sixers head into the year relatively unchanged. With the platformmate 550i GT getting the twin-turbo V-8, the super-sleek 6 Series just might get to share the wealth?the new 8A would be nice, too.
