The 12 Most Desirable Cars of 2014

1. There is one automobile that tops most of the “I Love Cars More than Anything Else in the World” lists and it is the awesome and fast 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C. One of the things that Americans can thank Fiat and Chrysler for, if they love fast, expensive, well-made cars, is the alliance they made in 2009, to keep Chrysler afloat, which allowed American car enthusiasts to have cars like the Alfa Romeo.

Ask an Alfa owner what’s so great about an Alfa and he is likely to say that it resulted in the making of the Ferrari, since Enzo Ferrari was an employee for Alfa Romeo before he created his own masterpiece. But, more often than not, Alfa owners are poetic when they describe their cars. The Alfa Romeo has a personality, a human-ness, they will say, that has been processed out of other luxury cars.John Moore an Alfa Mechanic at Sell My Car San Diego states “It is not a cookie-cutter car, but remains unique”. Other say it is the Italian touch that makes the Alfa beautiful, fun, and, yes, passionate.

2. The Aston Martin Vanquish Volante 2014 has been much anticipated by car lovers. Some say that owning an Aston Martin puts the owner in the most exclusive club in the world. Being the car that James Bond drives and that Prince William left his wedding in may be enough for some. Again, there is a visceral reaction to this luxury car. The 2014 Vanquish Volante costs roughly $300,000, but it is not for the cost that makes people love this car. At one point Aston Martin was raising its own cattle to make its own leather for its cars’ interiors. It is the appointments, and the beauty, and the ambience, and the inside umbrella holder with its own umbrella. Really, what more would one want?

3. The 2014 BMW 4 Series only costs $40,000, but still sets motor enthusiasts’ hearts aquiver. The styling is beautiful and technically it is a superior car. But, most owners say that to understand what is so great about a BMW a person has to drive it. It shines when it is on the open road. Words like “connected to the road” and “exhilarating” are often used to describe the attributes of a BMW. The 2014 boasts a powerful four-cylinder motor, which should continue the highly-praised performance of the BMW quite nicely.

4. This car is a continuation of a car that was designed in 2009 by Cadillac, but was never produced. Many of the ideas in the first design are used in the ELR, 2014. The automobile has an electric engine in combination with a gas engine that can potentially cover a 300 mile range. The lavish interiors remain, as always, along with an in-car service which can assist in knowing when to recharge or make hotel reservations for its owners.

5. Muscle car, maybe, but luxurious, yes, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 for 2014 will not disappoint. Going on sale for approximately $55,000, this is not your grandma’s Chevrolet. With an LS7 V8 engine, it will have over 500 horsepower and will be lighter and faster than before. Hot-rodders rejoice.

6. Ferrari LaFerrari 2014 can get up to 217 miles per hour, possibly because of its 949 horsepower engine. The driver’s seat in the newest Ferrari does not adjust; the steering wheel does, however. The car’s pedals are also adjustable. This outstanding gem of an automobile may be ordered now and will be constructed in batches of 499 cars at a time. The cost will be $1,000,000.

7. A hybrid has made it to the list of most desirable cars of 2014. It is the McLaren P1. English made and costing about $1.2 million dollars, this car looks and performs as a luxury car should. The car is not only beautiful to look at, but is also economical, fast, and ostentatious.

8. The new Porsche is the 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder. Why so desirable? Three words will tell why Porsche lovers are so addicted, they are: speed, excitement, and quality. At a mere $ 850,000, many predict there will not be many manufactured, and they will sell out of these cars rapidly. When Porsche owners are asked what makes Porsche so great, they usually answer, “If you have to ask, you won’t be able to understand.”

9. Some may not agree, but for Corvette lovers 2014 is a red letter year. The new Corvette Stingray is out. Redesigned and with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, it goes from 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds. One of the most anticipated features is a Drive Mode Selector which allows the driver 12 choices in performance based on driving conditions.

10. The 2014 Jaguar F-Type is curvaceous, a convertible, and a two-seater. A 495 horsepower version is available and it has 0 to 60 capabilities in about 4 seconds. Can you hear sports car fans cheering?

11. Believe it or not, many have rated the 2014 Kia Cadenza as one of the best luxury cars of the year. Its sticker price is $45,000. It isn’t a sports car, but it does have enough bells and whistles to warrant being voted one of the best.

12. The Lexus IS, on the other hand is a sports sedan, coming in at about $40,000. It has 204 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 in a respectable 7.7 seconds. It has a 3-D Navigation system, a traffic news system, and standard weather reporting system. The Lexus may be the step-sister luxury car, but she is a very pretty step-sister.
