Here are the 5 runners-up for Business Insider's 2016 Car of the Year

2016 Ferrari 488 GTB/Base price: est. $245,000

Here are the 5 runners-up for Business Insider's 2016 Car of the Year

Ferrari's successor to the mighty 458 took the supercar legend in a new direction: the mid-engine V8 got a pair of turbochargers. Heresy? We were initially worried about the end of naturally aspirated Ferrari awesomeness, but our fears were put to rest by the flat-out stupendousness of the 488.

2017 Audi A4/Base price: $34,900

The A4 is a monumentally important car for Audi, a brand that has stormed the luxury market worldwide over the past 15 years, putting Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus on notice.

2016 Cadillac CT6/Base price: $53,495

2016 Cadillac CT6/Base price: $53,495

You can find a far fancier premium sedan, but there's a clarity and simplicity to the design that will appeal among four-door diehards, an important but diminishing demographic. You can also find better performers, but they aren't as passenger-friendly. Cadillac has taken the lead in universal luxury with this car.
