2008 - The Best Cars Launched

The year 2008 witnessed the launch of a number of cars. Some of these succeeded in making a mark while the others disappeared even before they came. Below is a list of 5 cars that were ranked amongst the top launches.

Audi R8

Even though there were only a few cars released in the year 2008, Audi R8 was clearly one of the best that were launched. It comes with 4 wheel drive, sleek looks and a 420 horse power engine which almost qualifies it to be a super car if not a race car. However, unlike other sports cars which are only worth driving if you are well past the state speed limit, this is a car that can be driven on the city roads and enjoyed on a daily basis. This almost sports car 2 seater comes at a price tag half that of any beginner models of Lamborghini or Ferrari.

Infiniti G37

The Infiniti G37 is a close second to Audi R8. It is both elegant and fast at the same time which makes driving it on the state roads an absolute pleasure. Apart from the luxurious interiors, it technical specifications include a 330 horsepower engine and automatic transmission. For those who like to be in total control of their vehicle, there is the 6 speed manual transmission model available. At around $35,000, the price is nothing but a bargain. 2008 didn't see many cars that could compete with it easily making it one of the best cars to own.

Scion xB:

An all new xB was launched in Scion in the year 2008 with a family car outlook. The all new xB had room to make a comfortable seating for 5 which got it the much needed attention from all classes of customers. Under the hood was a newer and more powerful engine allowing it easy climb up steep hills. Even after such modifications, it did not lose its charm and came with the same style features as before. Its mileage matched that of mid size cars making it very affordable for long distances. Those looking to make a statement can get the same engineered (preferably by Toyota).

Volvo C30:

Everything about this car is exceptional. Starting with the stylish interiors to stern exteriors, its technical specifications to the great fun it is to drive, the seating space to the price tag of $23,000. Not only is it a bargain but also the obvious buy for anyone who is looking to buy a family car for himself. This car created huge waves when it was launched and can still be seen in many parts of the world. Anyone who has the pleasure of sitting behind its wheel is bound to love it. The best part about it is that the price is approximately 3k below the much liked Audi A3 and comes with no compromise on any front.

If one of these beauties is still available in the market, pick without giving it much thought. You are going to find them not only in the budget but also the most luxurious of all experiences.
