The year 2016 has been an exciting time for car enthusiasts due to the number of great rides that have been released so far. Consumers seem to agree, as reports indicate that the U.S. car sales are on track to reach 17.5 million units sold by the end of this year.
On that note, we present our list of the 10 best cars that took our breath away this 2016.
Jaguar XKSS
Even Enzo Ferrari could not help himself from saying that the Jaguar XKSS is the most beautiful car ever made. Aside from its aesthetics, this car's value for us also rests on its success in capturing the concept of the British pedigree. Expect an abundance of refinement, which is best experienced rather than articulated in words.
Ferrari California T
It is quite difficult for one supercar to stand out in the Ferrari stable, but once you actually tried them, you get the feel of the nuances that will make you identify the car that appeals to you most regardless of the technology under the hood. The Ferrari California T will let you feel exactly the same. You may be assured it will come with all the bells and whistles that will let you stand out.
Bugatti Chiron
Like any Bugatti car, Chiron has an unapologetically in-your-face design. You are not going to get any understated refinement here. The car is going to throw everything in its arsenal, and for fans, this is what makes it a worthy successor to the very vehicle that launched the concept of the hypercar.
BMW M2
The BMW M2 rounds up the luxury vehicles included in this list. Its main value proposition is its price. For $51,700 you get tons of features and technologies that complement its looks and its compact body.
Subaru Impreza
This is easily the top compact car in the market today. Its owners will enjoy all the modern comforts and technologies available. In addition, it also has a roomy interior, which is quite surprising for its size. One should also note that a number of Subaru cars rank as some of the safest vehicles this year.
Honda Fit
If you are looking for an even smaller alternative to the Impreza, then the Honda Fit would be the best option. It's nimble, cheap, and definitely not a fuel guzzler.
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Its small size means that it is not a commuter vehicle especially for taller or bulky drivers, but this sports car is absolutely a joy to ride. It's wieldy, precise, and packs an enviable engine technology that can achieve 34 miles per gallon.
Tesla Model X
Despite its flaws, this is simply one of the best cars for the environmentally conscious crowd. It has a spacious interior that would fit in a small family. In addition, you also get Tesla's Autopilot technology that will let the car cruise on its own. Finally, it can hold its own against any supercar out there in terms of speed.
BMW 7 Series
The BMW 7 Series has taken the luxury car concept to a new level. Complementing its more conventional car technologies and amenities is an array of features that include a massage function and eight different scents to keep your car smelling fresh.
Ford F-150
If you are in the market for a pickup or even a muscle car, you will perhaps found none better than the Ford F-150. Its aluminum body construction should establish its macho credentials. More importantly, however, the pickup also sports a number of engineering innovations that allow it to weigh less and be more fuel efficient.
