| Ford Fusion Hybrid - Fusion Energi Posted: 08 Dec 2012 10:30 AM PST  Newly redesigned for the 2013 model year, the Ford Fusion Hybrid sedan may be the most stylish of the growing number of hybrid versions of mid-size sedans. It competes not only with the first such entry, the Toyota Camry (itself restyled for 2012), but also the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and Kia Optima Hybrid twins and a forthcoming new hybrid version...      |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2012 09:00 AM PST  With a slew of awards under its belt and roughly 15,000 people who've put down deposits to buy one, the Tesla Model S may be the most successful car from a startup auto company in decades. The all-electric sport sedan is the first volume car from Tesla Motors, started six years ago in Silicon Valley to build only plug-in battery electric vehicles...   |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2012 06:30 AM PST  The Honda CR-Z occupies essentially a unique position in the market: It's the sole sporty two-seat hybrid hatchback. Widely viewed as a sport coupe, the three-door hatchback CR-Z blends styling that evokes the design heritage of the famed CRX coupe of the Eighties and Nineties with a modern hybrid powertrain. Its challenge has been that it is...   |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2012 05:00 AM PST  After a contentious start, the Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric car has settled into its role of the best-selling plug-in electric car in the U.S. Its mix of 30 to 40 miles of battery power, plus unlimited range from its range-extending gasoline engine, has proven to be a winner among buyers who want to drive electric but experience "range...   |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2012 04:00 AM PST  The Fiat 500 mini-car is a two-door hatchback coupe or convertible with a variety of different models available to suit different tastes and budgets. It mixes Italian style with a fun-to-drive personality and comes with good gas mileage as a bonus. As well as the standard three-door hatchback, there's a high-performance Fiat Abarth model...   |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2012 08:11 PM PST  The Nissan Rogue is a solid alternative to the likes of the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Subaru Forester. Performance for this compact crossover isn't its strongest virtue, but the Rogue is aimed at smaller, more frugal-minded families, and it gives them good interior space and versatility, along with an...   |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2012 07:50 PM PST  Anyone considering the aged, although still-competent XC90 has another worthy alternative in the form of the XC60 crossover. While it’s somewhat smaller, being classified as a mid-size crossover, the XC60 benefits from the same Scandinavian design influences as its bigger brother, and packs many of the same technologies. The XC60 is in its...   |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2012 07:30 PM PST  The MINI Cooper is a lineup of hatchbacks and convertibles that now includes everything from the Cooper hardtop and Convertible models, to the Clubman three-door wagon, to the hot John Cooper Works editions--not to mention the related MINI Cooper Coupe and Roadster models. The MINI--or Mini, the pre-BMW icon--has single-handedly launched two...   |
| Posted: 07 Dec 2012 06:25 PM PST If you're looking for the best possible combination of style, hatchback practicality, and performance, in a zippy, city-friendly small-car package, the MINI Cooper lineup pretty much has the market cornered--and that's not at all a bad thing. Ranging from the pint-sized Cooper hatchback and convertible, to the closely related Clubman...   |
