Motor Trend's writers have published their 2008 guide to cars that their writers loved. These are not the fastest, plushest, most expensive or best value. Rather, the cars are the ones these professional automotive writers simply loved.
Senior Editor Edward Loh chose the 2009 MINI Clubman S, and characterized his love affair as:
. . . a rush of smashed inhibitions and highly irresponsible behavior that came from driving the right car on the right road.
While we here at NorCal MINIs are MINI Fanatics, we might be persuaded to love the late James Coburn's 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Spyder, but then again, we don't have $10.9 million to purchase it at auction. We might be just able to afford the Clubman S base at about $24,100.
