Design student, Sangho Kim sketched a P51 Mustang-inspired vehicle and submitted it to Local Motors. Their co-creative process developed it & the Rally Fighter was born. This car provides an authentic off-road experience at an average of 50 to 60 mph. With 20″ rear and 18″ front wheels, the desert sand will feel like smooth blacktop.
This is not your grandfather’s ride. Buick’s 2011 Regal has been infused with youth, while holding onto its handsome styling. This reinvented classic is worth a second glance.
Honda takes it to another level with their 2010 Accord Crosstour. With sleek lines & extensive versatility, this sporty AWD crossover features a comfortable interior and an abundance of cargo space. Its 271-hp, 3.5 liter V6 promises brisk acceleration, while its enhanced shifting feature ensures you won’t lose speed in the turns.
Can luxury and efficiency coexist? Mercedes’ 2010 S400 Hybrid claims it can. 29 MPG co-powered by a lithium-ion battery, this opulent classic is “the world’s most efficient gas-powered luxury vehicle.”
The “less is more” followers of the VW GTI will appreciate the German auto manufacturer’s 2010 model. Taking their mantra to heart, the sporty hatch is new & improved without drastic engineering and design changes. Once again, drive happy.
The hatchback just grew up. Volvo’s 2010 C3 offers the perfect blend of sophistication and attitude, while providing comfort and safety. Don’t let size fool you. This little muscle has efficient turbocharge – enough to pump out a respectable 230 horses.
Everything you’ve ever wanted in a vehicle. Twin-turbo, 4.4-liter, V8 engine? Check. 400+ horse power? Check. Luxury? Check. All-wheel-drive? Check. Zero to 60 in under six seconds? Check. The most powerful gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle on the road? Check. The 2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6? Yours!
VW aficionados, rejoice! If you don’t have the resources to restore a classic Beetle from the ground up – build one out of Legos. This 16″ model’s attention to detail astonishes with a spare tire under the hood, engine block in the trunk and preserved interior design. Would you expect anything less from German engineering?
We all have an excuse for not owning an electric car. Not anymore. Nissan’s Leaf is an affordable, 100% electric, zero-emission vehicle with enough room to seat five. This little whip transports drivers 100 miles before needing a charge.
