Sharing its monstrous supercharged V-8 with the Camaro ZL-1 earlier on this list, the CTS-V is a particularly sinister statement in American bling. Check out the rear taillights that pay homage to Cadillac's famous tail fins of the '50s and '60s. As an added bonus, the CTS-V is also available as a station wagon for those 180-mph trips to the grocery store.
4. 2013 BMW 650 GranCoupe

Base Price: $87,200
One of the newest trends in automotive styling is the "four-door coupe." I think that BMW pulls it off best with the 6-series GranCoupe, which is a stretched version of the 6-series coupe. The example displayed at the Reliant Center looked particularly stunning with its matte-finish "Frozen Bronze" paint job.
3. 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish

Base Price: $282,110
You wouldn't think that an orange car could ever be considered classy. But this Aston is with its beautiful, voluptuous curves. This new Vanquish, complete with a V-12 engine and a gorgeous paint job is more of the same from 007's brand of choice, but in a good way.
2. 2012 Audi R8 V10 Spyder

Base Price: $162,700
You may recognize this beauty from Iron Man 2 as Tony Stark's ride, but there's definitely no trace of iron in this lightweight supercar. Audi's use of LED-accented headlights and taillights in contrast with the aluminum and carbon-fiber trim make for a unique combination of badass and tasteful.
1. 2014 Jaguar F-Type

Base Price: $69,000
I have to admit that this car took me by surprise. I hate to use the cliché that "it looks better in person," but I did not expect the F-Type to look this good from photos I had seen. This car screams sexy with its wide hips, tapered rear end, and restrained but aggressive front grille evoking the classic E-Type of the 1960s. How can you go wrong...it's a Jaaaaag.
The Houston Auto Show is open through this Sunday, January 27 at the Reliant Center. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit www.houstonautoshow.com.
