The Ten Cars Everyone Will Be Talking About In 2013P

Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!P
Picking the most important, talked-about cars of 2013 is a bit of a challenge, but not because carmakers are keeping their upcoming wares secret. There are too many spy shots of half-disguised prototypes for there to ever be surprises in the car world anymore. The real question is what established carmaker will completely flop in the marketplace and which upstart will get everything just right.P
For example, we all know that the next Toyota Corolla must be so boring that, as readerF1_nothing_else_matters puts it, "the engineers driving the current test mules are required to stream gif's of Kate Upton dancing on a set of Google Glass prototype glasses in order to not drop dead of boredom while driving." That's a given. We understand the car; the only variable is whether or not the American car buyer will eat that shit up.P
So these ten vehicles are what we think will be the make-or-break cars of next year, but feel free to scream and shout at us in Kinja below that we left off your favorite upcoming hypercar

10.) Jaguar F-TypeP

The smallest Jag will likely be a critical car for the now-Indian company, so there's no question it will be talked about in industry circles. No need to wonder if regular folks will talk about it, because, hey, it's drop-dead gorgeous.P

9.) McLaren P1P

It's the successor to the McLaren F1. Either the P1 will live up to its predecessor's name or the bar has been set too high for this hybrid hypercar. You're going to hear that debate, as well as the one arguing F150 Ferrari vs. Porsche 918 vs. McLaren P1, ten bajillion times next year, for sure.P

8.) Alfa Romeo 4CP

This is another car that's going to be talked about whether or not it succeeds. Possibility One: the car never makes it to the US, Alfa's relaunch in America flops again, and everyone gives us the same talking points we've been hearing since the 8C. Possibility Two: the car makes it here, is a success, and we get to talk about the continuing rebirth of small, light sportscars that the Toyobaru Twins got started.P
You know which scenario we're hoping happens.P

7.) Tesla Model XP

It's all well and good that Tesla has been breaking into the sports car and performance luxury sedan markets with the Roadster and the Model S, but the real money these days is in the crossover segment. Tesla's venture intojacked-up pseudo wagons may be its toughest challenge.P
