Bottomline The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu is a top contender in its class in almost every way. The 2010 Ford Taurus punches up Ford’s reputation for quality and features, with an engaging new SHO model to boost. Whether you're looking for a comfy commuter in the $20,000 range or a luxurious, powerful $30,000 family sedan, the newly redesigned 2008 Honda Accord should be on your shortlist.
