Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.

In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Without further ado, here are 2013 Car and Driver 10 Best winners:
Audi A6/A7/S6/S7
BMW 3 Series
Ford Focus/Focus ST
Ford Mustang GT/Boss 302
Honda Accord
Honda Fit
Mazda MX-5 Miata
Porsche Boxster
Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ
Volkswagen Golf/GTI

Haven't seen a real top winner yet? Anybody?
CX-5 not on list, but in America it's underpowered. When the diesels come out, then Mazda has a better chance.
