Car & Driver being American, im not surprised to find shite american cars on the list. Also i can't see the reason calling 2008's Best Cars, as 2008 has just only started.
Id go for TopGear's 2007 cars of the year, which includes:
Audi R8
Nissan GR-R
Ferrari 430 Scuderia
Mercedes C- Class
Nissan Qashqai
Rolls-Royce Drophead Coupe
Mini Clubman
Jaguar XF
Fiat 500
