2013 Dodge Dart
A game changer for Cadillac, the ATS represents as close a contender the luxury benchmark BMW 3-series has seen from a domestic automaker—or, arguably, from any automaker.
Base: $33,990
As tested: $48,190

2013 Porsche 911
Another great argument for Most Significant Car of the Year, the Italian-bred Dart starts where the popular Neon left off seven years ago—and, thankfully, wholly erases any vestige of Caliber still left lingering on our collective automotive palate.
Base: $16,790
As tested: $25,065

2013 Subaru BRZ
The sports car by which all others are measured: When a new 911 comes along, the enthusiast world takes notice. It is bigger than the outgoing model, however, which gives us pause.
Base: $83,050
As tested: $100,690

2013 Porsche Boxster
This one is arguably the best affordable rear-drive lightweight sports car since the Mazda Miata bowed some 23 years ago. Big words, sure, but we challenge anyone to prove us wrong.
Base: $26,265
As tested: $28,265

Perhaps the best all-around sports car extant, the Boxster has always done everything superbly, and this all-new third-generation car only advances its case.
Base: $50,450
As tested: $85,410
