The 2008 Pontiac G5 is a near-twin of the Chevrolet Cobalt, but lacks the Chevy's optional turbocharged four-cylinder.

The Honda Civic is the class of this class: Its four-cylinder engines are flexible and rev freely, the manual transmission is a pleasure to shift, and it looks like a car from the future, not the past.

Ford's new Focus has ungainly looks but plenty of features, including the new SYNC entertainment controller.

The Scion tC reminds some of the old Toyota Celica coupes; it's squat and reasonably handsome, with a rev-happy four-cylinder engine.
