  The 2010 Subaru Legacy marks the beginning of the fifth generation of the vehicle, and this one looks to be not only the best, but also the most widely appealing.  The new model is bigger, making the cabin much more spacious, but it is only about 60 pounds heavier than the outgoing 2009, so fuel economy doesn't suffer.  And, to top it all of, it's actually cheaper than the 2009 models as well.

  The Honda Civic is one of the country's most popular cars, and with very good reason.  The current generation of the vehicle, which debuted in 2006, offers plenty of cabin space, decent cargo room, good acceleration and speed (excluding the hybrid model), and good gas mileage.  It should come as no surprise, then, that the 2009 Civic coupe sets the standard for the small two-door car segment.

  A few months ago, we looked at the Fisker Karma, an innovative plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that mixes the efficiency and eco-friendliness of a hybrid with the jaw dropping beauty of an elegant European sports sedan.  Fans of the Karma are eagerly awaiting its late 2009 - early 2010 release, and to tide them over, here's a look at the Fisker Karma Sunset, a drop top version of the car that just won the prestigious 2009 Production Preview Vehicle of the Year award from the North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards.

• 2009 Specter Werkes Corvette GTR

  
  

  06.24.09 | No Comments | Chevrolet, Muscle Cars

  When comparing the 2009 Specter Werkes Corvette GTR to the stock 'Vette, the first big difference you'll notice is the hood, which is made up of large gills that push more air into the engine compartment to aid in cooling and also relieve underhood pressure.  The cosmetic differences don't stop there, though, as most every body part with the exception of the roof has been replaced with a handmade fiber glass component.  And it looks good.

  Porsche recently announced that the long-gestating Cayenne S Hybrid would be hitting European dealer showrooms in 2010, with a trip across the Atlantic sure to follow soon afterward.  And it's about time, as the Cayenne S Hybrid is not some neutered performance SUV that's all about milking as many miles as possible off a gallon of gas.  It's about having fun with a fast car.  The good gas mileage is incidental.
