Toyota Sells 3 Millionth Hybrid


Toyota Sells 3 Millionth Hybrid
With global crises from Japan to the Middle East continuing to roil world oil markets, the need for automobiles that consume less energy has never been more acute. Some of the most exciting lab work is being done in the electric- and fuel cell-car arenas; but the inherent limitation of such cutting-edge propulsion technologies is that, at least initially, very few models are likely to make it on the road due to cost and scalability issues

2011 hyundai elantra


The surprisingly well-executed Equus proved Hyundai's competence in the high-end sedan market, and their push to introduce seven new or redesigned models in 24 months has yielded several fresh-faced offerings, including the midsize Sonata
Most new car updates take an incremental approach to improvement, but the Hyundai Elantra addresses its shortcomings with an aggressive eye toward performance, weight savings and fuel economy. The last point is a particularly salient one for the brand, since Hyundai plans on attaining a corporate average fuel economy of 50 mpg by 2025—a figure directly in line with the U.S. government's estimated 47-to-62-mpg mandates by that year.

The Elantra's cabin is a vastly improved space that's accented with a wave-patterned dashboard, best-in-class front legroom, and roomy rear seats whose only dimensional limitation is the headroom for those taller than six feet or so, thanks to its coupe-like silhouet.
Claiming $1,505 in savings over a comparable Honda Civic LX and a $1,620 advantage over a similarly equipped Chevrolet Cruze 1LT, the Elantra offers strong value within the compact segment that Hyundai says has seen 47 percent of buyers downsizing to in order to seek improvements in fuel efficiency.
