 Audi ETRON, Audi's all electric sports car, based on the R8  The Chevy Cruze, GM's latest answer to the likes of the Civic, Focus and Mazda 3, equipped with a first in class 6 speed (manual and automatic) The 1.4 Turbo version is said to rate at 40MPG. 2011 Mustang, mildly refreshed, the big news is the V6, 300 Horsepower with 30MPG  2011 Ford Fiesta, this one will compete with the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa and Toyota Yaris, 16 inch wheels will be standard, and fuel economy will be projected at 38MPG. The car has already won a lot of postive press in Europe where it has been on sale for a couple of years.  2011 Hyundai Sonata, the South Koreans have come a long ways from the tin boxes of the 80s. A 200 HP 4 Cylinder will be the sole powertrain, estimated fuel economy will by 35MPG, a best in class. I will have more later...

I love seeing what new cars they come up with...not only the gas mileage but the styles. Some designes can be so ughhh...others so appealing.
I just wish more than anything that they would get the gas mileage up there more than just 40mpg. Wish more than anything that they would design a truck to get better mileage when hauling a horse trailer..lol. Thanks for sharing the new photos, Debbie __________________  Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck. We went everywhere together like this.

There are also V8 Hybrid versions of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Pickups that are supposed to be 25% more fuel efficient than their regular cousins. |

the Audi is a bit pricey at 200 Grand, The small CA firm Tesla has an all electric roadster for 100,000. Nissan hopes to sell its "Leaf" electric for a bit over 20K

200 grand
 Let's see... I could sell my Audi, my farm, my horse, my jewelry and still come up short. I guess I'll just to sell my body. wait... I am past the half century mark. Gravity has not been kind. Guess I'll have to win the lottery then. __________________ The purpose of life is not to be happy.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
