BMW X5 
As soon as it launched, the X5 intermediate SUV was an instant hit, thanks to its inspired handling and roomy passenger compartment. It goes without saying that with a 555-hp V8, the M version is the life the party. An 8-speed automatic gearbox and 825-watt 16-speaker audio system bring the X5 up to speed for 2013.
