13 cars for 2013 - our picks for the year ahead

If you thought 2012 was a good year for new cars, you'll be pretty amazed at what's in store for 2013.

That's right - 2013 is better than the year before it. In actual fact, you already knew that because all of the cars you've read about on AOL Cars and in other motoring publications over the last 12 months, start to arrive in 2013. That's the way the car industry works and it's up to scribblers such as us to enthuse you to buy them.

Some say there are as many as 116 new cars set to arrive in 2013. That's a lot. Too many for us to be interested in so we've done the decent thing and have chosen our top 13 cars for 2013.

Have a read and let us know what you think.
