Car&Driver Top 10 cars.......3 series, of course!

i cannot remember the entire list, but it definitely shows how the automotive standard has changed.

the perennial winners such as the miata and accord are no longer on list. enter the G35, the little baby acura TL (?), the RX8 (!)........

at this point, it just raises my expectations a fair bit in waiting for the e90 to come out. one has to think that it's gotta have at least 250-260hp, right? at this point?

If you're talking about the 3.0 liter, yes it should be ranked in the 250hp range with the new Valvetronic unit.

But the line-up is still likely to be a 2.5 liter inline 6 and a 3.0 liter inline 6, with an M model finishing up the top range of the model.
