AOL Top Ten Sports Sedans for 2002 - NO MB?

Top Ten Sport Sedans for 2002
By Eric Peters
AOL Autos writer
March 5, 2002

Sports car drivers don't have all the fun -- just all the impracticality.

But sport sedan drivers get it all: the fast footwork and nimble handling of a sports car but with a viable trunk, plus room for more than Herve "Da Plane! Da Plane!" Villechaize in the passenger compartment.

And the really neat part is that there's a veritable horn o' plenty of tire-skittering, G-force delivering sport sedans to choose from today -- not just one or two models, as was the case in the recent past.

Here's a selection of 10 superb sport sedans to choose from among the crop of 2002 models, ranging from ultra-performance models such as the 400-horsepower, $69,400 BMW M5 6-speed to the just-launched and more budget-friendly $22,349 Nissan Altima SE V-6.

Nissan Altima SE V-6 | Get it!
Jaguar X-Type | Get it!
BMW M5 6-speed | Get it!
Nissan Maxima SE 6-speed | Get it!
Audi A4 | Get it!
Volvo S60 T5 | Get it!
Lexus IS 300 5-speed and Sportcross | Get it!
Lincoln LS | Get it!
BMW 3-Series | Get it!
Mitsubishi Diamante | Get it!

A Diamante?!? That's not a sports sedan, thats a Japanese Buick.
