| The crimson 2010 Camaro SS sniffs the evening air with its snarly hood scoop. It smells a competitor, and seeks it with halo-encircled headlamps -- the piercing gaze of a predator freeze framing its prey. The rumble of its 6.2-liter, V-8 announces its intentions. [Camaro] |
Lithe, lean and athletic, we adored the 2010 Cadillac CTS sedan delivered to our door for an all-too-brief late spring test drive. This handsome heart stopper is smooth and teasing with the "A List" sophistication of a slightly wicked Ashton Kutcher in prime time. [CTS] |

What's Not to Love? It's the new, very hot, very sexy 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, with monster 6.1-liter, 425-HP engine and enough heavy metal attitude to emulate, say, Hollywood's bad boy Jesse James. Thrill is catapulting from a standstill. [SRT-8] |

| Nissan labels it as the all-new 370Z Roadster of 2010, an al fresco variation spinning off the wicked 2009 370Z hatchback-styled hardtop coupe. Z as a roadster looks like it's speeding even when parked.
