2009 Range Rover Sport HSE

Although in serious need of a cabin tech update, the 2009 Range Rover Sport maintains its off-road prowess and general drivability.

2009 Mazda MAZDA5 Grand Touring

The 2009 Mazda Mazda5 Grand Touring is an interesting choice for a budding family, primarily because there's nothing that directly compares to it on the market. Mazda will need to improve the interior quality if the Mazda5 is to really feel like a Grand Tourer.

Specs: Minivan, Gas

2009 Lincoln MKS

The 2009 Lincoln MKS is a star when it comes to in-cabin entertainment and information sources, especially at its price. But you will have to be content with a comfortable, rather than sporty, ride.

Specs: Sedan, MKS, Gas

2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS

It may cost a lot, but the 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS is a high performance on- and off-road vehicle. Current cabin tech isn't great, but a new version of the Porsche Communication Management system is coming out soon.

Specs: SUV, GTS, Gas

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

Although a little expensive for a boy racer, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR combines impressive performance and cabin tech, making a car that is extremely fun to drive.

Specs: Sedan, MR, Gas

2008 BMW M3 Convertible DCT

The 2008 BMW M3 Convertible delivers an exceptional driving experience. The M3's double-clutch transmission and cabin tech are first rate, but options quickly jack up the base price.

Specs: Convertible, M3, Gas

2009 Volkswagen Tiguan S

Former VW GTI owners who need more space for a family will absolutely love the performance of the Volkswagen Tiguan S, but those looking for high-tech options will want to look further upmarket.

2009 Mazda RX-8 R3

With a unique and sporty design, the 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3 will turn heads, but it doesn't quite live up to its looks, and Mazda left out some key tech elements.

Specs: Coupe, RX-8, Gas

2008 BMW 128i Convertible

The 2008 BMW 128i Convertible is an easy car to drive, but not as sporty as other models from the company. Options jack up the price pretty quickly, but without them, it's not much of a tech car.

2008 Acura MDX

Still among the best all-around seven-passenger luxury SUVs, the 2008 Acura MDX never disappoints (except perhaps in its looks), but is due for some cabin tech updates and a little more power to match its handling.

Specs: SUV, Base, Gas

2009 Honda Pilot EX-L 2WD

The 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L is a solidly built SUV, but it feels underpowered for its size. Technophiles will want to step up to the Touring trim level or look elsewhere.

Specs: SUV, EX-L, Gas

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is a big, expensive roadster with some nice aesthetic touches. It has practical features here and there, but this car is more about the statement it makes when you roll up to a restaurant or movie premiere.

Specs: Convertible, SL550, Gas

2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD

The Mazda CX-9 is a sporty SUV that packs a lot of space inside but it both looks and performs like a much smaller vehicle. However, the cabin tech lacks polish and needs to be better integrated.

Specs: SUV, Grand Touring, Gas

2008 BMW M6 Coupe

The 2008 BMW M6 is a car that can only really be appreciated on the track. Its cabin electronics make it suitable for everyday driving, but its fuel economy keeps it from being practical.

Specs: Coupe, M6, Gas

2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG combines very impressive performance on road and track with first-rate cabin electronics, making it fun and convenient. Just make sure you budget for gas.

Specs: Sedan, C63, Gas

2008 Maserati GranTurismo

You can definitely get better cabin tech for the money than you will find in the 2008 Maserati GranTurismo, but you won't find a better-looking car.

Specs: Coupe, Gas

2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid

The 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid provides the most power, utility, and economy available today. It makes a good choice if you need to haul people, cargo, and trailers, but it comes up a little short in its cabin tech.

Specs: SUV, Hybrid

2009 Jaguar XF

The 2009 Jaguar XF offers a lot of luxury for the money, with many unique high-tech touches and an exceptional audio system. But it doesn't always deliver on its apparent promise, with a run-of-the-mill suspension and navigation system.

Specs: Sedan, XF, Gas

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

The 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited makes a valiant effort at incorporating tech but falls short because of poor integration. In everything but fuel economy, it is a practical vehicle.

Specs: SUV, Fe, Gas

2009 Nissan Murano SL

The 2009 Nissan Murano benefits from trickle-down tech options available in Nissan's top models and seems to work best when fully optioned. Regardless of tech options, the Murano is a nimble urban navigator.

Specs: SUV, SL, Gas
