•2006 Cadillac XLRv Sports Car
Cadillac's two-seat XLR sports car, built on a rear-wheel drive platform also used for racy Corvette, is the foundation for another high-performance v-badged model dubbed XLRv.
•2006 Volvo C70 Mid-Size Convertible Coupe
It doesn't look like a cardboard box, so it can't be a Volvo ... or can it? The new Volvo C70 has an attractive, distinctive body style that comes with a power folding hard top. It looks great with the top up or down. A cool, clean, futuristic interior in the Volvo C70 is a comfortable place to spend miles on the road. It's also a safe place thanks to a pop-up rollbar, heavy steel roof and state-of-the-art side curtain airbags.
•2006 Honda S2000 Sports Car
A front end that looks like a snake's head hints at how viciously aggressive the Honda S2000 is. It's designed to put the driving experience first and everything else second, making it one of the most thrilling cars on the road. One of the drawbacks of a pure sports car is an uncomfortable cabin. While the driver-oriented layout is fantastic, the racing-style seats, bumpy ride, noisy engine and lack of storage space make it impractical for daily driving. It's an impressive piece of high-performance equipment, but it's not something you'd want to commute in.
•2006 Pontiac Solstice Convertible Sports Car
The stunning Solstice convertible adds some much-needed excitement to Pontiac's lineup. Unfortunately, the Solstice is more exciting to look at than it is to drive. One of the Solstice's bright spots is its two-seat cabin layout. It's comfortable for a tiny sports car, and its driver-focused cockpit keeps most controls within easy reach. The seat backs can be hard to adjust, though.
•2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK Class Mid-Size Luxury Coupes and Convertibles
Both hard and soft tops apply to mid-size CLK Class cars. Convertibles, derived from the hardtop coupes, are cut to airy drop-tops by German car crafter Karmann. Three two-door coupes appear this year, as do three convertibles.
•2006 Mercedes-Benz SL Class Compact Luxury Hardtop Convertible Roadster
These Mercedes roadsters have seats for only two in a lux cockpit crowned by a hardtop that folds through electro-hydraulic muscle and tucks into the trunk.
•2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK Class Compact Near-Luxury Stowable Convertible-Top Roadster
The SLK Class of two-seat roadsters provides a pop-top lid which stows in the trunk and three sophisticated powertrain options.
•2006 Jaguar XK Series Mid-Size Luxury Coupe and Convertible
Jaguar's two-door personal luxury cars resurrect styling cues from the 1960s icon XK-E, thanks to that extended hoodline and aerodynamic prow. Only change between coupe and convertible occurs with the latter's retractable lid.
•2006 Ford Mustang Compact Coupe and Convertible
For 2006 Ford's pony car, rising from a rigid rear-wheel-drive (RWD) chassis, conforms as a sporty two-door hardtop coupe or a luxurious new soft-top convertible.
•2006 Nissan 350Z Compact Coupe and Roadster Convertible
Nissan's Z-car returns in 2006 as a sleek two-door hatchback coupe or curvy roadster convertible. Each shows revamped bodywork with more equipment aboard.
•2006 Saab (Division of General Motors) 9-3 Compact Sports Sedan, Convertible and SportCombi Wagon
Saab's mainline cars consist of three different conformations for 2006 with a premium sports sedan, the drop-top convertible variation and a new five-door touring wagon called SportCombi.
•2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Compact Station Wagon
You'd be hard pressed to notice the difference, but Chrysler's PT Cruiser got a facelift for 2006. The new headlights look like a biology lesson on cell division, but the car remains unchanged in spirit. An all-new interior in the PT Cruiser is different but not necessarily better. The biggest improvement can't even be seen: sound insulation that keeps the cabin quieter on the highway.
•2006 PT Cruiser Compact Station Wagon and Convertible
If it’s true that this is a woman’s world, then the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser is her car.
•2006 Volkswagen New Beetle Compact Coupe
VW's compact two-door coupe and convertible show styling changes for 2006 featuring revised fascias, fenders and side sills with keen lines drawn around wheel wells and a bold face set with large oval headlamps and a mesh grille.
•2006 Saturn Sky Two-Seat Roadster
Sky, Saturn's sporty two-seat roadster, goes into production this fall. Showing smooth sheetmetal draped over a long and low structure with 18-inch wheels and tires, Sky looks racy fast but downright expensive, yet the price tag is projected to cut under $25,000.
•2006 Pontiac G6 Mid-Size Economy Convertible
This year there will be a switch in the array of cars that comprise the Pontiac brand from General Motors. First evidence of Pontiac's model evolution occurred with the 2005 debut of a G6 mid-size sedan and sports coupe as replacements for the aged Grand Am series.
