Buick Park Avenue Ultra

You may ask what a Buick is doing on the page, but never under-estimate North American cars. Although not as refined as the Germans or the Japanese, this Buick is based on the Olds Aurora, Buick Riviera, and Cadillac Seville STS chassis, making it a very solid and fine-tuned car. With its super-charged V6, churning out 240bhp, it rivals a lot of its competitors. But don't mistaken it as a sports car, because its not. It's pure luxury, but it's got enough power under the hood to push you into first place from a red light, leaving a trail of smoke (with traction control off) behind for the others to inhale.
