Motor Trend recently proved you don't have to break the bank to own a mid-sized sedans that's not only fuel efficient but also, well, sexy.


Buick LaCrosse - Sex appeal has a lot to do with why this car's sales are up 200.8 percent year-to-date over the same period in 2009. From every angle, the LaCrosse is attractive and, in that way, the opposite of the model it replaced.

Cadillac CTS - It doesn't matter if the CTS sedan has 17-, 18-, or 19-inch wheels. This is one good-looking car. A few years have passed since we said "this car will turn heads in the same way that the elite European models do," and this 2008 Car of the Year is still worth a second look if you pass it on the street.

Hyundai Sonata - Many automakers talk about sedans with "coupe-like rooflines," but in the case of Hyundai's Sonata, it's true. The Sonata's side and rear styling are more striking than we'd expect from a midsize family sedan (with the Chevrolet Malibu an exception). Although some feel the Sonata's front styling is more Toyota Camry Solara than sexy, the Sonata proves that family sedan and sexy four-door are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Jaguar XF - Inside and out, the Jaguar XF oozes sex appeal. From the chrome spears in the front fascia to the engaging taillights, the overall effect of the XF's styling is exactly what you'd expect from a Jaguar sedan.

Lexus IS - Even before you get to the IS F, the IS luxury sports sedan has sexy styling that has endured well. The upward swept style of the rear windows adds interest to a design with excellent proportions and taut lines.

Saab 9-5 - Blackened A-pillars on the 9-5 create a floating roof effect while the chrome trim around the bottom of the side windows extending to the C-pillar provides a dynamic look. From front to back, Saab has designed a car that's sexy and, thanks to the unstable condition of the company, will remain an exclusive ride.

Volkswagen CC - Mercedes-Benz started the coupe-like four-door trend, but Volkswagen made it affordable in the form of the CC. For around $30,000, you can get the CC, a sedan that's far sexier than many entry-level luxury sedans and loaded family sedans.
