1) Hyundai Accent 5-door: Our mission statement pretty much requires us to love snappy, tight vehicles with surprisingly sizable backsides. So this adorable new hatch from last year’s New York–lauded brand appeals strongly to our space-saving,
Sony Z133GX/S Silver, stuff-stuffing, wagon-loving side. Smoother-looking and lesser-costing than the competition (here’s looking at you, Fit) this Elantra might be just the thing to tide you over while saving for your goal wagon.
2) Scion iQ:We’re neither 22-year-old Wizards nor retired Sunbelt implant grandmas, so we’ve never been particularly struck by the allegedly youthful “meaning” of the Scion brand. But this squatting pismire caught our eye with its marked resemblance—in both shape and size—to a Mineola,
Canon TL-H58 Tele-Converter Lens, one of our favorite citrus fruits and an excellent addition,
HTC Tilt 2, like this car, to our Manhattan (drink and island city).
3) BMW S-Drive28i: BMW has been a leader in the fuel-frugal act of replacing its powerful and gorgeously smooth engines with smaller,
Canon Deluxe 200 Tripod, powerful,
Samsung TL205, and gorgeously smooth engines,
Apple iPhone 3GS 16G white, yielding both power and gorgeous smoothness. And here we have yet another example,
Samsung Vibrant, the first four-cylinder Bimmer to be available here since 1999,
BlackBerry Bold 9650, albeit one with a twin-power turbocharger that delivers just as much oomph as the six-cylinder engine it replaces, while achieving up to 20 percent better fuel economy.
4) Mercedes A-Class Concept: Mercedes-Benz has been offering versions of its hunky A-Class in other markets (i.e., Europe) since Hanson’s “Mmmbop” was dominating our ear-waves. But now that the cost of a gallon of American gasoline is approaching the cost of a gallon of platelets, and the Benz’s smallest U.S.-market car,
T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, the C-Class,
Canon Rebel T2I 18-55mm Lens, is bigger than the midsize E-Class used to be,
Motorola Quantico, Mercedes needs to drop something down to fill the scale vacuum. Ergo, this: an athletic-thighed,
Canon A3000 IS Silver, three-door runabout with a front end that looks exactly like Darren Criss cross-pollinated with a mud frog,
SONY W310 Silver, and a blooming sunflower. (In a good sense,
Kodak M550!)
5) Nissan LEAF Racecar: Exhibiting the hue and shape of a sky full of alto-stratus clouds, the liveried vow to fart out nothing but water and electric air,
Nikkor 55-300mm Lens, and the promise of speed implied in its giant NISSAN-emblazoned rear wing, how can you not feel all green and tingly when you look at this sporty Schmoo? About as likely to be seen circling an actual racetrack as your overweight emphysemic spinster aunt, it is nonetheless an exciting exercise in the possibility of motor sports without earplugs.
