Anita and Paul Lienart, whose posts on their latest “He Said/She Said”, have graced Autoblog many times, have compiled their Ten Best Rides for 2005. Surprising even themselves, the couple chose four domestic vehicles for the list, all new vehicles from General Motors (Lucerne, Pontiac), Ford (Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan/Lincoln Zephyr), and Dodge (Charger).

A listing of the best rides include:
  • Dodge Charger
  • Pontiac Solstice
  • Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan/Lincoln Zephyr
  • Range Rover
  • Toyota Avalon
  • Buick Lucerne
  • Lexus IS
  • BMW 3 Series
  • Hyundai Sonata
  • Mercedes-Benz CLS
The reasons why these vehicles made their list can be found at the article. It will be interesting to see how closely consumer purchases will match it.
