After several years of a recession-induced drought, the automotive industry is once again fertile, spilling forth a cornucopia of great cars for buyers to feast on. And that's perfect, because with Thanksgiving near, it's the time of year to feast till you drop. Whether your budget is big or small, the caliber of new offerings is so impressive that it's almost hard to go wrong, no matter what car you choose. But some vehicles stand out for one reason or another, whether for their looks, performance or what they represent. Here are 10 new vehicles we are glad exist. They're not necessarily the absolute best in their respective categories, but life would be a lot worse without them. So we give thanks.
Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima brings sporty flair to a vehicle category often dominated by blandness. Honda and Toyota might have more clout with the average consumer, but those who care about more than just getting from point A to point B will want an Altima 3.5 SR, with its 270-horsepower V6 engine, taut suspension and 17-inch wheels. You don't have to go all out to have fun in an Altima; the base 4-cylinder engine is plenty punchy. Heck, even the Altima Hybrid offers more fun than its competitors, albeit at the expense of being less fuel-efficient. Plus, the Altima has a clean, uncluttered cabin and cool looks that are sporty without being too aggressive.
