The 2009 Lincoln MKS is a star when it comes to in-cabin entertainment and information sources, especially at its price. But you will have to be content with a comfortable, rather than sporty, ride.

It may cost a lot, but the 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS is a high performance on- and off-road vehicle. Current cabin tech isn't great, but a new version of the Porsche Communication Management system is coming out soon.

The 2008 BMW M3 Convertible delivers an exceptional driving experience. The M3's double-clutch transmission and cabin tech are first rate, but options quickly jack up the base price.

The 2008 BMW 128i Convertible is an easy car to drive, but not as sporty as other models from the company. Options jack up the price pretty quickly, but without them, it's not much of a tech car.
