The Ten Best Cars For 2017!
(in no particular order)
10.
Ram 1500 Rebel

An off-roading monster that has a massive 5.7 liter engine rumbling under the hood; the Rebel is one of the best trucks to come out of Detroit.
9.
Nissan GTR/Skyline/Skyline GTR?

Whatever this thing is called, it does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, and has four wheel drive, so it is popular (as the picture suggests) in snowy places (such as New England). The engineers at Nissan are so precise with manufacturing the GT-R(?) that the factory is hermetically sealed.
8.
Chevrolet Corvette

America's sports car, looking good for the first time since 1973! It is pretty fast too. Its V8 is enough motivation to keep up with a Dodge Viper. The Z07 package gives it a supercharger, making it even faster.
7.
Alfa Romeo Giulia

A sports sedan at its very finest, the Giulia has a 505 horsepower bi-turbo under the hood, that can scream from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Oh, did I mention that this is the quadrifoglio version? Yay! even faster.
6.
Ford GT

The GT is back! It is now made out of carbon fiber and not 40 inches tall. The Ford has pushrod suspension, and a new seven speed gearbox, for those times when you really need to blast through tunnels, so your exhaust note echoes.
5.
Dodge Challenger GT

This GT is new, unlike the aforementioned GT. A Challenger with all-wheel drive. This will be great in the snow, but (rather unfortunately) it doesn't have a V8. When (or if) it comes with one, I think that it will be a very well selling car.
4.
Lamborghini Centinario

Only forty will be built, as coupes or roadsters. The Lamborghini celebrates Ferruccio Lamborghini's 100th birthday, which in the words of Car and Driver, "who did not celebrate his own 100th birthday because he’s been dead for 23 years".
3.
Subaru BRZ
(credit: www.autoblog.com)
A fun, light sports car, created jointly by Toyota and Subaru. It gets a few tweaks this year, like a better transmission, LED headlights, and a refit engine. So go and be 2Blue2Subaru.
2.
Dodge Durango

What we needed was another vehicle named after a place in Mexico. The new Durango looks sharper than ever thanks to its black grille. The inside looks comfortable, for all those road trips that you will take in your new Dodge SUV.
1.
Bugatti Chiron
(credit: caranddriver.com)
Umm... The car generates 1,500 horsepower from a sixteen cylinder engine. It is also capable of 261 mph. This car is the successor of the Veyron, a car synonymous with being the fastest around, so it has (in the words of Captain Sisko) "mighty big shoes to fill".
Thank you to Car and Driver, for information about all of the above cars. Also thank you to my readers for reading and making comments.
Happy New Year
