Bottomline Despite rather conservative styling, the 2009 Saab 9-3 is one of the boldest performers in its class. The 2009 Volkswagen Eos isn't sexy, and it's one of the most practical choices among convertibles and there's a lot to like. The 2008 Volvo C70 feels light and gets lighter with the top down -- just don’t plan on taking many friends or much cargo along for the ride.
