There are certain vehicles that dominate the sales charts and have no shortage of mainstream recognition. You know the ones — models like the Honda Civic, Ford Explorer and Toyota Camry. If you're shopping for a vehicle, top sellers such as these are likely the first choices that come to mind as you populate your short list.

In many cases, these mainstream favorites are popular for very good reasons, but there are other choices that are just as worthy of your buying dollars, if not more so. These are the dark horses — the cars that somehow fly just below the radar when it comes to consumer awareness, but nevertheless have a lot to offer shoppers on the hunt for quality and value.

Below are our 10 picks for the best dark-horse cars of the year, listed in alphabetical order (note that we've got a couple of currently available 2011 models included in the mix). Happily, some of these picks — like the sterling Hyundai Sonata — are beginning to get the kind of buzz that assures they won't be dark horses for too much longer.

So if you have a black one, do you have a really dark horse?

Yup. Extra points for dark tint too.
