  2. Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.02021The naturally aspirated flat-six put back where it belongs, in the sweetest chassis Porsche builds.

  4. Lamborghini Huracan STO2021A racing car with number plates, and every single compromise that description implies.
  5. Mazda6 (2021)2021The best looking mainstream sedan of its generation, discontinued because almost nobody buys mainstream sedans any more.
