Economy Cars
Want to help the environment, but don't want to drive a lame electric car that doesn't go faster than 55 mph? Or, are you just worried that your neighbor will see your go-green car and start calling you a tree hugger? Get the looks of a hot sports car, and save the environment at the same time with a Tesla Roadster. Its 2x more efficient than a Prius, and 100x better looking! Your Roadster can take you from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. It's 100% electric, and has 288 hp. BUT (and notice that's a big but), a Tesla Roadster starts at $108,000. So, while you may be looking good and saving trees, you definitely won't be saving pennies. For less expenisive (but still hot) options, check out the Tesla Model S, starting at $49,900.

Attention! This just in: Toyota’s teasing a new, smaller, lime-green mini-Prius dedicated-hybrid concept car to be officially revealed soon. The world debut of the new hybrid will take place during the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It will be revealed in a news conference on Monday, January 11, 2010—the exact time will be announced soon.
When I was reviewing websites, looking for a good topic to write about, I had every intention of doing something different—perhaps a part review, or a new car accessory announcement. Just not another new car preview. But, when I saw this car on the NY Times website, I couldn’t resist. So, bare with me as I show the highlights of one more new car, but next week, I promise to bring you some exciting new information about parts and accessories, deal?
