2012 has been a great year for the automotive world, the new release of the affordable sports car, the most powerful super cars of all time, and the most advanced automotive technology ever. it�s been a big year, almost every brand has redone there line up, dodge has complete resign most of their cars, Nissan, Ford, Subaru, and many more have made entire brand changes for the 2012 model year also, and I�m hear to recap it with the Top 10 Car of 2012
5. Subaru BRZ / Scion FRS
Yep, the twins made it into the Top 10 Best Cars Of 2012, and for good reasons to, well equipped models of these cars start at under 25 grand, about the same price you would pay for a base Camry, but even though Scion is a Toyota, it share no resemble to the brand, the BRZ is a joy to drive, nippy handling and decent power to get you into a corner, or in some cases, siding into a corner. Although if I had to pick in-between the two, I would have to pick the Subaru, it is around three grand more, but you get leather racing seats, sat nav, a much better interior, and of course, the Subaru badge, and that alone, to me, is worth 3 grand.
4. Ford Focus ST
Hot hatches are just starting to take the scene as, fun, fast, and affordable cars, but Ford is pushing the involve with the Focus ST, with 247 Horse power, and 266 lb-ft of tourq, it�s one of the most powerful hatchback (has about 30 more horsepower than the MINI JCW) a turbo engine helps power that number, but unlike most turbo engines, the turbo lag is next to none, which is a large improvement over the RS model is Europe which has major turbo lag problems. Cool other little features include Recaro racing seats that come straight out of the Boss 302, and a blacked out honey come grill. If you�re looking for the best hot hatch, this is it.
3. BMW M1
If you are not already aware, BMW made a special edition M1 for a bit, and frankly, it�s one of the best M badge cars you can (or could) buy. With 335 Horse power cranking out of the hood and a super light body makes for one seriously fun car to drive. As for the interior, it�s made up of fine, dark leather, and racing stitched seats, but when you step out of the interior, you are treated to a beautiful sculpted body, and sporty looking body vents. Looking at the pictures, it�s a great looking car, but in person, it�s like nothing on the road, you can stand out even more with available orange paint, you can stand out even more.
2. Shelby GT500
The fire breathing beast made it to the list. With that super charged engine under the hood that produces 640 horse power makes it the most powerful mustang to ever be built. This was in fact, one of the last production cars that Carol Shelby ever made, with the GT1000 being the last car he built. This is, the meanest looking car you can buy, with that black grill, huge 19in wheels, and the classic white stripe, there is no better car to buy for the muscle car fanatic.
1. Fisker Karma
yep, I thought, as did many other people, the Kisker was the best car in 2012, not just for its amazing power, and 0-60 times for being an all eclectic car, it�s the ground breaking technology that�s in the car, the dashboard is all computerized, "It�s like one big iPad". The car is also has great range, around 150-250 miles on all eclectic mode, which is impressive for a car this big. although you may be thinking this is an expensive car, its costs around the same as a 5-Series BMW, and the upper range model is on target with the A8, and the BMW- 7 series, and i think it�s better than all of them by far.
