We drove a lot of cars in 2021. Here are our favorites:
We won't deny it, testing cars is a lot of fun . It's even more fun when the cars we drive are really great machines, whether they're fast, efficient, luxurious or simply good-looking. These are our favorites, the cars that we just couldn't get enough of.
2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Associate Editor Byron Hurd: It's rare when a car just seems to fit, and the baby Alpha was not the car I expected to do it for me this time around, but here we are. Within about 48 hours of driving it at VIR, I was talking to a local Cadillac dealer about placing an order. In hindsight, I shouldn't have been so surprised.
Runner-up: Of similar interest was a preproduction Polestar 2. The delivery driver said that before dropping it off with me, she had to make a stop at a local Volvo store, and the entire dealership emptied out to see the car. The 2, too, has impressed us here at Autoblog. It was a lot of fun to drive; the acceleration and handling are all you could want in a daily driver.
Runner-up: I generally like EVs . I generally like driving Porsches. I generally like powerful rear-wheel-drive cars . It's no surprise then that I quickly fell in love with the base Porsche Taycan, in all its dialed-back, electric, rear-wheel-drive glory. Even better, it arrived in my driveway right between significant snowfalls.
It was my first time behind the wheel of any Taycan, but the specific GTS performance enhancements and unique, unlifted Sport Turismo body style sure seem like they'd be my choice, any way. As we're talking"favorite cars" here as opposed to the more objective, professional"best cars" or"top rated," I have absolutely no problem throwing price out the window.
Lucid Air Dream Performance Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: I drove a lot of great vehicles this year. I could have selected almost any one of the eight electrics I highlighted in a recent column. And the Cadillac CT5 Blackwing is exactly the kind of high powered, old-school sedan I like. It feels like a Cadillac in a way I can only imagine they felt when Caddy was at the height of its powers in say, 1962.
