Top 10 Expensive Cars of 2009

This list was compiled using several criteria.  However, while each of these cars falls into the "expensive" category, each can be used as a daily driver without issue. While you'll certainly find drivers making their daily commute in a million-dollar European supercar, you'll also find decrepit Studebakers on some of the roadways -- neither of these options is a good choice for the average driver, so our list was compiled to reflect good choices for the "average" car buyer.

While it may make perfect sense to spend more than $100,000 on your next vehicle, no one with the income to be able to do so got into that position by wasting his or her cash on products that don't stand the test of time.  A vehicle that makes it into our list has to positively exude reliability, style, quality and luxury.  This means that you get a list of cars that drive great, provide reliable operation and will stand the test of time, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment.  If you demand only the best, we're here to help!

Only 10 cars made it onto our list of best expensive daily drivers.  While most the most expensive vehicle on this list is certainly high-priced, most of these options come in quite reasonably given the luxury level of the vehicle.  Every vehicle compiled into this list has been ranked according to quite a few criteria, including driving characteristics, comfort, performance, reliability, style, design, interior quality and finish.  Style is one of the major contributing factors in each selection, but, obviously, not the only factor.  Performance and, of course, luxury are also high on the list for each vehicle listed in this category.
