Nissan Altima Coupe

I guess I'm just a sucker for a good-looking rear end, because that's the main reason the Altima is on this list -- from a styling perspective, it's an absolute coup. (And the award for the worst pun of 2008 goes to... me!) But the Altima's charms go beyond its good looks: It shares its underpinnings with the Altima sedan, my favorite mid-size family car. It's not the most practical front-drive coupe out there, nor is it the best value (especially if you want any options, most of which are tied into expensive packages), but it is arguably the best looking, plus it's exceptionally easy to live with -- and that's why I love it.
