What makes a car impressive? Is it the impact it has on the outside world-or the feelings it stirs within the people who own it and drive it? We feel the answer is a bit of both. Here are 10 cars that will impress both the people who drive them and the people they drive by.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Few cars ooze prestige like a big, stately Mercedes-Benz, and when a big S-Class glides up to the curb, all the eyes that happen to be looking in that direction are bound to wonder what the VIP will emerge from its leather-lined cabin . Mercedes makes the S-Class in sedan, coupe and convertible forms, and it's hard to say which is the most impressive-they all look fantastic. All the S-Class variants are lavishly appointed and offer the latest technology Mercedes has to offer, everything from night-vision cameras to perfumers that scent the interior. No question, this is one of the most impressive cars you can buy.
Aston Martin DB11
James Bond should have been a secret agent, but if he really intended to keep his identity concealed, he should not have driven Aston Martin. These classic British sports cars are visually stunning, and even a person who does not know anything at all about cars is bound to stop, turn and admire the beauty of their sheet metal. Though it's hard to pick up the most impressive Aston, we'll go with the new DB11, a stunning sports coupe that is beautiful both outside and in. The leather-wrapped interior makes even the most humble occupants feel special, and the engine note and exhilarating driving experience turn every trip into an adventure.
Genesis G90
If you still think of Hyundai as a cut-rate car manufacturer, you will be seriously impressed by the new Genesis G90. Flagship of the company's new Genesis sub-brand, the Genesis is a large, leather-lined luxury yacht that envelops its occupants in a cocoon of luxury and silence and wafts them along in a gentle comfort. As an option, the G90 offers reclining rear seats, which add an element of luxury rarely found in sedans. There's only one clear reminder of the G90's South Korean roots, and that's the price: The Genesis G90 lists for tens of thousands of dollars less than its German competitors. If you have not seen what Hyundai is doing in the past, we think you'll be incredibly impressed by this new luxury car.
Cadillac Escalade ESV
Large and in charge: That's the Cadillac Escalade ESV, a long-range version of Caddy's fullsize Escalade ESV (and, if one wants to be a bit more crass about it, a glorified Chevrolet Suburban). This is the big SUV in which elected officials and high-up corporate execs ride, while their armed guards flank them in a more modest Chevrolet Suburbans. The Escalade certainly looks at the part, with its imposing stance and large chrome grille, and the leather-lined interior impresses occupants as much as the exterior impresses the passers-by. And its work ethic is equally impressive: If you need a luxury SUV to tow a big boat or a heavy travel trailer, the Escalade ESV is the one you want.
Alfa Romeo Giulia
Alfa Romeo is just now making its return to the United States, and the brand is probably unknown to a large number of Americans - but to those who know cars, the Alfa badge is legendary. The new Giulia remains true to the brand as Alfists (as brand fans are called) remember it: Memorable styling inside and out, and a thrilling, sharply-honed driving experience that will be equally impressive to anyone lucky enough to sit behind the wheel . The Giula is fast, agile, and a lot of fun to drive. Even those who are not among the Alfists are bound to be impressed by this handsome 4-door.
Range Rover
Hollywood stars, sports heroes, and the day-to-day well-to-do love the Range Rover, and why would not they? This is one of the most impressive SUVs you can buy, and for many reasons. The Range Rover is impressive from the first sight, with its elegant lines and dreamy interior. It drives beautifully, with a quiet demeanor and surprising agility given its large size and heavy weight. And if you decide to venture past where the pavement ends, you will be seriously impressed by its off-road capabilities - this is one of the most capable SUVs on the market, with electronic driving aids that turn off-roading into child's play. Even more impressive is the overall feeling that gets behind the wheel: This is a vehicle that is more than a sum of its parts.
Dodge Challenger Hellcat
With so many high-powered cars on the market today-we're talking about horsepower levels that far exceed muscle cars of the 1960s-it's pretty hard to impress today's die-hard gearheads. But the Dodge Challenger Hellcat does it, with a massive 6.2-liter V8 that puts out 707 horsepower, a number that is unmatched in all of the automotive industry, including many purpose-built racing cars. The Hellcat is a serious car best suited to experienced drivers; rubber tires simply can not keep their grip on the road with so much power coming through the rear axle. But if you get the chance to drive one, we'll guarantee you will be impressed ... and probably terrified, as well.
Jaguar XJ
The Jaguar XJ is a luxury car for those looking to impress rather than the outside world. The lines of the sheet metal are smooth but understated, so that the Jag can slip through traffic with just the briefest of admiring glances from fellow motorists. But from the inside, the driver is bound to be impressed by the cabin's visual design, which has an organic flow more often seen in the architecture than moving vehicles. Material quality is top notch; the Jag does not have that assembly-line-commodity feel of some of its Asian competitors. And the driving experience is lovely: The XJ seems to glide along in a unobtrusive silence. The XJ lacks some of the high-end tech features of its German and Asian competitors, but it also lacks the astronomical price. If you 're shopping for a big luxury car, the XJ is a must - see - it' s bound to impress.
Rolls-Royce Wraith
This large 2-door coupe is one of the most exclusive cars on the planet, and well worth its outrageous price. Even the doors of this huge car are impressive-they are hinged at the back, and a Wraith with its doors open looks like nothing else. (Of course, they close it electrically at the touch of a button - we could not have the milady reaching too far, now we could?) And if there were precipitation outside, you'll find a sunglass hidden in the forward edge of the door . (Pesky English weather!) Inside, the Wraith is lavishly decked out in leather and wood, with a celestial pattern on the headliner. The Wraith drives smoothly and magically, and is bound to draw stares from passers-by who may only see a Wraith once in their entire life. Impressive? The Wraith elevates the concept to a whole new level.
Lamborghini Huracán
Lamborghini is among the most recognized sports cars in the world, and anyone who had a Countach, Diablo or Murcielago poster on their walls growing up will instantly recognize the design DNA in the new Huracán. Its 5.2-liter V10 engine develops up to 602 horsepower, and it's deceptively fast-this car will have a jet to 100 km / h (62 MPH) in less than 3.5 seconds, and yet it feels like it's just moving. And the sound? Oh, man, there's nothing like that. If you can deal with Huracán's tight cabin and astronomic price, this is a car that is bound to give a impression.
