Posted: 02 May 2013 02:32 PM PDT

With their lean, two-seat layouts and classic-roadster shapes, the Porsche Boxster and Jaguar F-Type are two of the purest sports-car designs on the market—even though they take two very different design-and-engineering pathways to get there. Likewise, the Porsche 911 carries a classic sports-car nameplate, but it's become a little more of a...

It also faces off with some of the mainstream competitors that don't offer two-door versions, like the Honda Fit and Civic...

Volkswagen Touareg

Posted: 02 May 2013 10:24 AM PDT

The VW Touareg can be easily misunderstood. As a mid-size SUV with one of the softer, more carlike exterior appearance, it can be surprising to find that the Touareg is actually one of the toughest and most stoutly constructed SUVs its size, and capable of serious off-roading. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota...

Volkswagen Tiguan

Posted: 02 May 2013 10:15 AM PDT

Available in both coupe and convertible, the Audi TT offers two-plus-two seating and the brand's unique take on style and luxury.

The TT has been around for more than a decade, but it maintains the original model's essence...

Audi R8

The Audi R8 is a sleek, elegant, very fast two-seat, mid-engined sports car that ranges up toward supercar status in its V-10 incarnations.

BMW 4-Series

Posted: 02 May 2013 09:42 AM PDT

Built as a replacement for the 3-Series coupes and convertible, the BMW 4-Series essentially a new name for an existing model. While the 2012-2013 3-Series have moved onto a new generation, a new platform and new powertrains, the two-door sister models remain in the previous body style until the 2014 4-Series arrives. The 4-Series becomes its own...
