Best10 week can't, won't, and don't stop: The end of our superlative-focused lists? Hell no! Here's the list every Jalopnik new-car buyer should keep close at hand — our Best10 cars you can buy right now.
To review: Like all Best10 lists, this isn't a normal best-of gathering. This is a list of the stuff we dig the most, the machines that most line up with the commandments of El JalopGod Grande. Many of the basic rules from our best-of-the-decade list apply here: No hybrids! No techno-wonders lacking in driver engagement! No fatties! (OK, some fatties. But they're good fatties.) The only significant change regards attainability: In order to focus on the everyday, we have lowered the price cap to $106,180.
You get two guesses as to why we picked that number, and the first two don't count.
At the risk of stating the obvious, yes, you may perceive this list as flawed. It's not. You may think other cars are more practical, more attainable, more reliable, or more well-rounded. Whatever. We don't care; this is what we like. Cars are here for odd reasons: Because of an engine. Because of what their existence represents. Sometimes just because of the curve of a hood. We'd own all of them if we could. We are strange and mysterious; our emotions, moreso. Deal with it.
