1. 2007 BMW 530i (10 votes)
2. 2013 Suzuki Kizashi SLS (6 votes)
3. TIE: 2008 Cadillac CTS and 2012 Hyundai Genesis (5 votes each)

Interesting that the top four picks were German, Japanese, American, and Korean. Pretty diverse tastes here in Oppo!

Funny, I didn't vote because I came to it late, but the BMW 530i was my pick as well.

Whoever didn't vote for the Volvo is wrong.

It really says something that the Genesis made the top 3. Besides being a newcomer and a Hyundai it tied the CTS and beat some of the traditional luxo-brands... Nice!

It's really an awesome CarMax buy. It's offered at the same price as luxury-brand competitors that are 5-6 years older.

In a few years the Genesis is going to be a really appealing used car. It's got power, right wheel drive, and luxury at what will likely be a lower price than similar German cars.

Hip, hip!
And I really want the coupe 3.8R. Never thought I would really want a Hyundai. I own one, but it was really more right car right price new... An 09 Sonata. Nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't a lustful purchase that's for sure.

I like the Genny coupe a lot. I drove the last generation turbo and it was nice. I'd like to try one of the 3.8's

Yep, and any budget car willing to ship with Brembos shows a good design philosophy to me!

Hyundai really needs to get into road racing so they can build the skills and experience to make a properly good chassis. The Genesis chassis is OK, but it's far from great. Everything else about the car is great though. The engine is pretty damn good, the style is great, the interior is perfectly fine for the money.
