You certainly can't say they chose terrible cars here. I mean other than the Sky Redline and Escalade, the cars they chose aren’t really bad choices, they’re just not the best choices.

I am in no way trying to say that the CX7 is a godsend, im just trying to say that Playboy doesnt have to put down the highest price most baller vehicles on the planet on their list, simply because they are Playboy, so who cares. brownfv: ok, so not the classiest of cars, but the design is worthy of complement, they took a huge risk and aimed at an awkward market. of course there are nicer looking cross-overs out there but if you look at the price range for what you get with all the sport tuned goods from the Mazda6, then its a winner man.

First of all, it's Playboy's take on what the best cars of the year are. Think of what Playboy magazine stands for, instead of trashing their picks saying "OMG blahblah car is better then that one holy crap", remember that for years they've upheld a classy image in popular american culture. The Z4M is a sexy sleek car that has the curves of a woman, plus Playboy is American so obviously the best bang for buck car is going to have some nostalgic heritage, A.K.A. Caroll Shelby and his legendary Ford-Powered mustangs. These posts are hilarious. First of all, it’s Playboy’s take on what the best cars of the year are.

for the cars, their coupe and convertable counterparts
it uses M in front of the number
Hence 5 series becomes M5 and 3 series becomes M3

however for cars that are lettered and not just merely numbered
hence Z4 or Z3 it becomes the Z4 M or Z3 M

The Escalade blows too. and im indifferent to the 911 Turbo, there are so many players in that vague category that its too hard to choose.
