2010 Sexy Car Buyer's Guide

Martha Hindes & Bob Plunkett

Brad Pitt and Angelina. Tom Cruise and Katy. "Venus" and "Mars" in a relationship. Like the female and male described by their planetary traits, some things set off fireworks just by their proximity. Take a 2010 sultry sports car and a lover of two-seaters, for example. The result? Instant "POW!" A gravitation toward gratification. A lusty thirst for unbridled allure.

When looking at 2010 new vehicles, we put them into categories that suggest their dominant qualities. They express basic usability, capacity for hard work, easy riding comfort and other such mundane but admirable qualifications. But a car that's hot, hot, hot -- with its low-slung, sinuous lines, powerful rear haunches, throaty rumble -- has something more. In a word, stimulating!

These sexy roadsters attest to the creative inspiration of those designers who have let their hearts and passion rule their heads in the process of creating them. With admiration, appreciation and no small amount of envy, we present ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine's 14th annual Sexy Car Buyer's Guide.
