Although luxury hybrids will never really make a dent in the changes we need to solve our problems, they are a part of the solution too — no matter how small. Plus, they create a lot of high profile attention for the green car industry. And if you are well-off and concerned about our global environmental, security, and economic issues — any of them — luxury hybrids make it possible for you to buy what you’re, ahem, accustomed to, while still towing the line. |
| THINK Finally Unveils Plans to Sell its City EV in U.S. This Year – New York First Posted: 02 Apr 2010 08:45 AM PDT
THINK has had a rough road in its long history. Having been on the brink of collapse several times, this little Norwegian company just can’t be kept down it seems. Scrabbling back from the nearly dead, THINK now has plans to start selling its itty bitty City EV in New York and a few other “select markets” later this year. |
| Fuel Efficient VW’s Pick Up Two 2010 World Car of the Year Awards Posted: 02 Apr 2010 08:22 AM PDT
They may be small cars, but them’s some big, shiny, golden cahones! VW picked up a brand new pair at the 2010 New York Auto Show, winning both the 2010 World Car of the Year Award for the VW Polo and the 2010 World Green Car of the Year award for their entire BlueMotion lineup —the Polo, Passat and Golf. There’s just a slight problem though… one ball is bigger than the other. Oh potty humor, you never seem to get old. (more…) |

Scion is something of a success story for Toyota, which has a “reliable but boring” reputation about the industry (despite its recent acceleration woes). The Scion brand was aimed at injecting some youth and fun into Toyota’s portfolio, and it did… for a while. After eight years though, the lineup has grown, well, boring again. Hoping to kickstart the brand’s image, Scion introduced two cars yesterday… the iQ, and an all-new TC. Well, all new as in mostly-the-same. |
| Hyundai Sonata Turbo Makes V6 Horsepower With 4 Cylinder Fuel Economy Posted: 01 Apr 2010 07:25 PM PDT
Turbochargers are coming on strong from every corner of the automotive world as automakers scramble to meet the newly-announced CAFE fleet-wide mileage standard of 34.1 mpg by 2016. I love turbochargers, as they represent a compromise between horsepower and fuel efficiency. Plus, they are incredibly fun when you punch your foot into the pedal. Hyundai really likes turbochargers too. So much, in fact, that they look to be setting a new standard both in power, and fuel efficiency, with their Sonata 2.0T. With 274 horsepower on tap and an MPG rating of 34 on the highway, the new Sonata is going to be the car to beat. |
