If a luxury car is more your style, the new Porsche is a contender, and you can already order the 2019 Carrera S and 4 S. The shape may be familiar, but the 6 cylinder turbo engine is more powerful than prior models. Also new for 2019, the Porsche 911 will share the same platform as an Audi R8 and Lamborghini Huracan.
The buzz created at the recent Los Angeles Motor Show centered around the horizontally-opposed six-cylinder engine featuring a new fuel injection process. Porche is aiming to make it more competitive with other luxury cars.
The rear-mounted turbocharged 3.0 liter units offer a bit more power than previous models and can be used with the new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox or a standard seven-speed manual transmission.
Of course, the new 911 will set you back $117,385, as a base price. If that seems a bit high, check out the luxurious and economical Honda Insight.
