Full-size car: Toyota Avalon
Finalists: Dodge Charger, Kia Cadenza
The large sedan segment has lost some of its lustre in recent years, but remember that this ranking looks at 2016 model-year vehicles. And that year there were still several interesting choices for consumers to pick from.
CBB’s choice of the Avalon is also a reflection of the durability of Toyota vehicles, the mechanics of this large sedan being one of the hardiest and well-regarded in the industry.
In addition, the Avalon is likely to age better over the years than the other finalists. A formula for success when it comes to resale value…

Sports car: BMW Z4
Finalists: Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger
Here, finally, something that’s not a Toyota or Honda!
To succeed in dethroning a timeless car like the Ford Mustang is quite a feat, but the BMW Z4 earned its place this year thanks to its delivering an exquisite balance... between a relaxing car to drive and the pure driving pleasure that thrill-seekers are looking for.
As mentioned by the CBB, the Z4 sits right in the sweet spot in the roadster subcategory.
