HYUNDAI
Hyundai was the first Korean to come to America. Now well-established after a few slips, with a range of nicely-designed, well-engineered cars and a superb warranty. INFINITI
Nissan's luxury line has always edged towards driving machines. Following a period of dullness, Infiniti is charging back with European style and handling.
JAGUAR
The cars of Britain are more than fine wood and the smell of leather. Low, lithe, powerful and available in a wider range that includes the compact X-Type. KIA

While still building good-looking, fun-driving sedans like the Sentra and Altima, Nissan has returned to the world of sports cars with a new 300Z. OLDSMOBILE
On its last legs, with an SUV the last remaining Olds to be restyled. A sad way to end more than a century of great cars, we'd say. Ransom Olds is turning in his grave. PONTIAC
Driving excitement is what Pontiac is about, in image at least, and the styling echos this theme with a new and cleaner look. Watch for the return of the GTO. PORSCHE
Its origins may have been in the humble Beetle, but Porsche has grown into the world's most successful race car and an icon for the road. But a Porsche SUV? SAAB
Influenced by its aircraft engineers, Saab has always produced quirky but aerodynamic vehicles. Now they're quick, not quirky, and still aerodynamic. SATURN
The different kind of car company has struck again, this time with the new Ion sedan and 4-door coupe featuring a much-need Ecostar 4-cylinder engine. SUBARU
Every Subaru has all-wheel-drive and some now have the Outback treatment. You can also choose from conventional AWD sedans or the sensational WRX Impreza. SUZUKI

Yes, you'll arrive home safely in a Volvo but now it's a lot more fun, what with coupes, convertibles, AWD wagons, a 6-cylinder luxury sedan, and a sporty SUV.
