Forbes:Five New Cars To Buy In 2013

BMW M6 Gran Coupe
WHY IT’S HOT: A 4.4-liter turbo V8; 560 horsepower.
WHY IT’S NOT: Its two-tone look may not be for everyone. Not available in standard transmission.
UNNECESSARY BUT AWESOME: Golden brake calipers. Refined and ostentatious all at once; good inflation hedge. 

Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

WHY IT’S HOT: Sporty handling with sedan practicality.
WHY IT’S NOT: For now Mercedes has been tight-lipped about its performance specifications.
UNNECESSARY BUT AWESOME: Likely to be priced under $40,000, which would make it the $5 martini of luxury cars.

Audi S8

WHY IT’S HOT: A big, plush sedan. Tons of gadgets.
WHY IT’S NOT: Too many dials and buttons required to operate all that stuff.
UNNECESSARY BUT AWESOME: Audi’s most powerful engine to date offers 520 horses and 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds.

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster
WHY IT’S HOT: Razorback haunches plus 700 ponies.
WHY IT’S NOT: Loud, hot, rides low. But it’s a Lambo. Want something practical? Go buy a minivan.
UNNECESSARY BUT AWESOME: Did I mention 700 horsepower? Better start a speeding-ticket fund.
