I have said it before and I’ll say it again, and I am not afraid of saying it again and those of you who are opposed to me saying it again can go off yourself. Volkswagen makes the best cars for the middle class. Just look it this 2010 Gulf beauty:

It goes on sale this August and starting price is $16,500. The GTI model will start at $24,000.

Meet the new 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG; the most fuel-efficient Mercedes to date. But it really isn’t much, just an increase of one mile per gallon. The outgoing model started at $85,000, so this one will cost at least a little more than that. Already in sale in Europe

From the Mercedes to a more modest car. The Scion iQ concept three-seat car.

The New York International Auto Show has yet to open, so there isn’t much yet I’ve seen worthy of a highlight. It opens on April 10th, 2009. I’ll post a new one then.
