Bottomline The 2009 Audi S5 looks like no other and performs as well as its top rivals—but you will pay for the privilege. The 2008 BMW M3 redefines the performance envelope for BMW's 3-Series range--but at a significant weight and price penalty. You might be going too fast to notice, though. Let the burnouts begin! The Ford Mustang finally has another domestic competitor.
