As Esquire Magazine appears to have forgotten to put its "Ten Most Awesome Autos" feature from its May issue online, Terry Box at the Dallas Morning News has been kind enough to accommodate list fanatics. The men's magazine actually made a pretty good show of picking its ten favorite cars under $50,000. No defining criteria other than price appears to have been employed other than price and editorial opinion, so take these for whatever they're worth.

Lotus Elise ($42,990): Chevrolet Corvette ($44,490) Mazda 6 ($19,670) Infiniti G35 coupe ($33,200) Ford F-150 ($19,640 to $37,005) Audi A3 3.2 DSG ($34,700) Subaru Legacy GT ($28,795) BMW 3-Series ($30,900 to $44,900) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution ($29,149) Chrysler 300C SRT8 ($42,695)
