If, however, you can't do without superior sports performance, check out the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SL. Available with two engine options, a 382-horsepower V8 and 510-horsepower V12, the SL is as powerful as it is luxurious. Just keep in mind that power doesn't come cheap. If you're not willing to drop the nearly $100,000 needed to buy a base-model SL, consider shopping in the luxury sports car class instead. There you can find such outstanding sports performers as the 2010 Porsche Boxster and 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK. While neither is as luxurious as the 2010 Lexus SC 430 or its class rivals, both are available with drop-top hard-tops.
