We Americans like luxury, we like performance, and we can’t seem to get enough of either in our cars. With personal wealth rising to all-time highs, pure luxury cars abound for 2007, from the completely redesigned Infiniti G35 and Lexus ES 350 to the all-new Lexus LS 460 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class – and in every price segment in between. Want to add a healthy dose of performance to your new luxury liner? Check out new sport-tuned models from Audi, BMW, and Jaguar. You don’t have to spend a small fortune to get a fun car, if you lean more toward the performance end of this spectrum. Fun but cheap rides like the Dodge Caliber SRT-4, Honda Civic Si Sedan, Mazdaspeed 3, Pontiac Solstice GXP, and Saturn Sky are injecting life into the lower end of the market, each offering a lot of bang for the buck. Oh yeah, don’t forget about the all-out power of the Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500, a car that is sure to thrill.

Saturn’s Sky, pictured above, is the first of several products designed to revitalize this once successful General Motors brand, and the buzz the two-seat roadster is generating shouldn’t wear off by the time other new Saturns arrive on the market. Of the new luxury car offerings, the Lexus LS 460 (pictured below) is sure to cause a stir. Equipped with more style and features than ever, but still priced under its main competition from Europe, the LS 460 continues Lexus’s passionate pursuit of perfection. Whether you’re in the mood to dream or to research a possible replacement for that ragged ride in the driveway, we invite you to examine the wide range of new-for-2007 luxury and performance offering and brush up on what’s to come.
