If it seems like Corvette is always making Car and Driver's annual 10 Best Cars List, that's because it has earned a spot on the coveted list for seven years straight. Calling the Corvette a poster car for continual development, the new 2008 Corvette boasts 22 significant updates over last year's entry. Car and Driver's staff focuses more on the improvements they say are dynamic to the driving experience. While they liked the upgrades to interior, especially the wrap-around leather option, it's the upgrades to the steering, manual shifter and the clutch that won them over for the seventh straight year.

Oh and let's not forget the fact that Corvette's mid-cycle upgrade included the new 6.2 liter LS3 engine that expands the horsepower envelope from 400 to 430. Everyone loves more ponies and the 2008 Corvette delivers. Car and Driver calls the Corvette one of the world's best high performance buys.
