I cant really comment, because half these cars aren't available in the U.S. market. I'm quite familiar with Suzuki and their lackluster cars. Definately surprised they're on there.

I think that's their top 10 contenders for Car of the Year in Japan this year, & is yet to determine which car is the final winner of COTY this year ?

Last year they picked the Honda Legend (Acura RL) as COTY Japan, with the Nissan Fuga (Infiniti M35) placing third : Link : http://www.jcoty.org/2004-2005/award.html

Lexus wins!
It's the most expensive of the bunch though.

Hm, looks like every Japanese and Euro car company is represented once.
