Favorite New/Upcoming Vehicle?

Post by Anthroguy101 »

Yes, I am addicted to automobiles. I carry a subscription to Motor Trend, and I like to read their reviews (as well as the reviews of Consumer Reports, Edmunds, C&D, Automobile Magazine, Autoblog, et. al.) I think it has to do with the fact that I do not own one, but even more for the fact that I'm excited. It seems that all the awesome cars are coming out in just three short years, from here to 2012, whether it's redesigns or entirely new models. Also, Detroit may finally be getting it right after decades of screwing up. Here's a very short list of vehicles that may be coming to a showroom near you:

2011 Chevrolet Volt
2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe
2011 Buick Regal
2011 Buick Lacrosse (a much-improved model)
Chevrolet Aveo RS (concept/redesign, this one actually doesn't suck)
201X Chevrolet Beat/Spark
2011 Chevrolet Cruze
2011 Chevrolet Malibu (current model)
2011 Chevrolet Equinox (current model, greatly improved)
2011 GMC Terrain (current model)
2011 Chevrolet Traverse (current model)
201X Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

2011 Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX (redesign/facelift)
2011 Ford Fusion (current model)
2012 Ford Focus (European model that will replace US model and become "world car")
2012 Ford Focus C-Max (US: 8-seat model only, European import)
2011 Ford Fiesta

Fiat 500

Toyota subcompact (Scion IQ?)
Toyota Yaris redesign w/ new hybrid model (speculation, Motor Trend)
201X Plug-in Prius

2011 Tesla Roadster Sport
201X Tesla Model S

I'll put more up here later. So, what everyday, modern cars do you like? It can be anything (as long as it's something you can buy now or later). I'd like to know your opinion on the subject. Feel free to discuss.

"A vehicle (Latin: vehiculum) is a mechanical means of conveyance, a carriage or transport. Most often they are manufactured (e.g. bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats, and aircraft)"

Approved!

According to one of my aerospace-fancy friends, this car here is basically that raptor with wheels.

My absolute favorite is the Chevrolet Volt, it is the freshest idea the automakers have come up with thus far, and is soon to be the greenest vehicle out there.

As for combustion vehicles, my heart belongs to Ford. They got the message before anyone else. I especially enjoy the upcoming Fiesta, Focus (international), C-Max, and the new North American Fusion (2010 Motor Trend Car of the Year). I also like all the technology that comes with those cars.

I saw one like that, and it almost ran my brother over, but then he was like 'that an insult to try and hurt me with that marshmellow on wheels' or something like that.
so yeah....

Are you talking about the Aptera typ-2e? If so, then I may be able to narrow down where The Game lives (dun dun dun).
