Motor Authority Best Cars to Buy 2014: Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG, Porsche Cayman

Fast, stylish, compact, reasonably priced, and incredibly fun, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG is Motor Authority's Best Performance/Luxury Car To Buy 2014.

The 2014 Porsche Cayman is also our Best Car To Buy 2014. The two cars stood out so strongly in our testing that we felt we had to give the nod to both.

Three other cars were incredibly close: the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the 2014 Jaguar F-Type, and the 2014 Audi RS 7. In truth, you can't go wrong with any of the nominees.
