The 2010 Audi S4 debuts in Paris next week, and boy is it drool-worthy, with a supercharged 3.0L V6 spec’d at 333 hp and 325 lb.-ft. of torque; expect it in the US in Fall ’09.
The 599cc 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R has been massaged to be lighter, faster and more precise; most of this comes from Big Piston Front fork tech and a host of engine tweaks.

If you can get over its cartoony, bug-eyed face, Campagna Motors’ V13R roadster is a pretty fun ride, with a 1250cc Harley Davidson-sourced V-twin; it’s the T-REX’s little brother.
This ain’t your momma’s station wagon: Cadillac’s 2010 CTS Sport Wagon retains the sedan’s sleek lines while extending the roofline. It’s not the coupe, but it’s not bad looking, either.
