2009 Edmunds' Inside Line Editors' Most Wanted Awards - Just as it was last year, our selection process is extremely simple. There's only one real rule: Inside Line must have tested the car or truck by November 1. (more)

This past year, Edmunds' Inside Line has tested more cars and trucks than any other car mag, more than any other Web site. Since your New Year's Day hangover, there have been hundreds of cars and trucks pushed and shoved around our test track and evaluated by our staff.

And for the rest of us... by alpha01

Interesting. But, for the rest of us that are looking for a sub-$30K (heck, even 25K) new car that is fuel efficient, practical, and still fun, I'd be curious to know what the IL editors would unanimously pick.

I have to agree with the styling-- it's not trying to be a copycat. I also like the way it's described as "bending the pavement to its will." An impressive car at a very impressive price.

I agree. 3 cars that are at or pushing 100 grand, a truck that gets 14mpg (maybe), a minivan and a small luxury car with a almost useless backseat. Great.
 
What about the rest of us in the real world that want something fun to drive but still have to make the daily slog to work and maybe Target once in a while?

What happended to the Flex - all the benefits of an Odyssey, better driving performance and a style that does not make you look like you have given up on life?

It would appear you are pandering to the readers of GQ, Flying, & Ocean Yachts.

I love this car. I do, and would buy a convert. in a second if the money wasnt so tight. So, do I invest in a EOS? Dunno. If you think about it, the MiniS convert is the closest to the original 2002 without a top. 25K. Not bad.

What a delightfully eclectic mix of "greatness" that, for me, recalls the Dodge Aspen (circa late 1970's) as MotorTrend car of the year winner. Your "Top 5 Most Wanted" includes a Honda minivan and a $200,000 German luxo-barge. Imagine, that some people actually think Edmunds editors aren't real car guys! Well, take THAT naysayers! I guess kudos are in order for bucking the trend and not including a P.O.S. hybrid on the list kowtowing to green Nazis.

The numbered days of the large displacement internal combustion engine powering personal transport vehicles are numbered. The American consumer's obsession with large HP has created an vacuum in the U.S. economy.
 
Amazingly, while even Bob Lutz, the father of the Dodge Viper, seems to have embraced the future, the editors at Edmunds are clinging to the past much the way a child clings to it's mother's apron before that first day of school.
 
NOT ONE SINGLE FUEL EFFICIENT car on your most wanted list??? Time to let go of Mom's apron.

Inside Line editors are enthusiasts - they'll sacrifice some mpg for some hp. And it's their list of what they want.
 
Check out the Consumers' Top Rated for 2008 list for what the rest of us want. There's a couple of high mpg rides in there and one hybrid.
