New models at the 2008 LA Auto Show

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Ford unveiled the new Fusion for the 2010 model year. The vehicle receives a much needed visual refresh with its trademark tri-bar grill being expanded drastically to dominate the front end. Gone is the bucktoothed lower chrome grill bars, having been replaced with thinner horizontal slats and a chrome surround.

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid

The next Fusion can be spec'd with any of four distinct powertrains: a 2.5-liter four-banger, a 3.0-liter V-6, a 3.5-liter V-6, or a gas-electric hybrid. We're not sure why Ford has two V-6 options, especially because the two engines' outputs are only separated by a mere 23 ponies (240hp vs 263hp).

2010 Ford Mustang Convertible

For sports car freaks like myself, the biggest from Ford Motors was the refreshed 2010 Ford Mustang. Shown here in convertible configuration, every exterior panel has been tweaked and massaged into a much smoother and modern looking Mustang.

The 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe is a fantastic example of "the more things change, the more they stay the same." The 370Z features all-new smaller dimensions, new sheet metal, and a bigger, more powerful powerplant, yet it manages to retain the essence that makes a Z car.

Mini MINI E

The MINI E's whisper quiet range of about 150 miles is accomplished thanks to a massive array of lithium ion batteries that occupy the space where the rear seat used to be. Recharge time is 2.5 hours when using the included wallbox high amperage charger.
