The auto industry is booming again and we are living a revolution of the vehicle itself, as new technologies and designs are emerging each year.
Popular Mechanics have listed their annual awards, with awards given for performance, value, hauling, technical innovation, luxury, design, versatility and more.

As expected, the Luxury category got toped by Lexus this year, with the new IS model equipped with the F Sport package, which not only improves the sedan’s handling, but also fits it with a more aggressive front bumper, bigger alloy rims, fine leather, high performance Mark Levinson audio system and a cool LFA-inspired gauge cluster.

The new Lexus IS comes with both style and performance, matching its German opponents (actually dominates them when it comes to styling) while also coming at a lower price ($37,000 for the basic model), making it a great deal.
