Every year, the scribes at Car and Driver go through every new vehicle on sale and pick the ten best cars currently on sale here in the United States. And while some major automotive awards are only shelled out to vehicles that are all-new or significantly updated for a certain model year, C/D's approach is to look at the full scope of vehicles on sale. After all, there are some cars that are simply perennial favorites, even if they haven't changed year over year.

For 2012, the Chevrolet Volt and Hyundai Sonata have fallen off the list to make room for the Audi A7 and Ford Focus. The other eight vehicles that round out the 10Best list have carried over from the 2011 winners, but we can't say we're surprised. These ten cars indeed represent some of the best vehicles on sale today.

The 2012 Car and Driver 10Best winners are:

• Audi A7
• BMW 3 Series / M3
• Cadillac CTS-V
• Ford Focus
• Ford Mustang GT / Boss 302
• Honda Accord
• Honda Fit
• Mazda MX-5
• Porsche Boxster / Cayman
• Volkswagen Golf / GTI

Umm actually yes. Cadillac. Basically a Holden.
GMH did the chassis and suspension on them.

My question is, why the mustang?
What a POS car compared to others of its type.
Didn't they test any other car?

I bet the meeting went more like this....

"Oh crap Billy Bob, we only have cars made by these funny named places I've not heard of, apparently there are other countries, who knew?
Anyway, we better put some American cars on the cover or we won't sell any magazines"
Then they all started chanting USA USA USA F**K YEAH!
