Our top five vehicles to hit the road this coming year are sporting a very strong trend amongst most others cars we could have picked. The top three cars and to us the most drool worthy are all hybrids. Although out top choice has yet to actually hit mass production, we still included it, with fingers crossed that after three years of hype, it will finally hit the US streets. That car being, the Fisker Karma. A car I think every man that stops by here at MOB would LOVE to own our top pick, hell we would love any of these babies.
5.
Skoda Fabia RS: The Czech brand of VW has decided to integrate some of that racing DNA (at least appearance-wise) into a Fabia RS. A green roof and alloys aping those used on the S2000 racer are the Fabia RS’s showcase elements, along with a brutal lower front lip, smoked glass all around, darkened chrome work, a rear spoiler, and side skirts.
4.
Cadillac CTS Sport Sedan: The 2010 CTS is, in some eyes, the most distinctive of all the vehicles in this group. Sharply folded edges, a chunky stance, and lots of chrome details give the sedan a stubby, sporting look. The huge Cadillac wreath-and-crest logo in front isn’t subtle, but then, not much about the CTS.
3.
Ferrari 599 GTB Hybrid: The hybrid that would dominate Ferrari’s line-up of vehicles, or there would be no Ferrari cars at all. The fact that hybridization is the only possible answer to meet the new emission standards set both in the U.S. and Europe. Any failure to adhere to the set of rules would force Ferrari to pay hefty fines or even worse, stop manufacturing cars all together.
2.
Porsche 918 Spyder: Another hybrid. It’s a two-seater with a 500-plus-horsepower V8, based on the RS Spyder racing car’s engine, teamed with electric motors that make an overall 218 hp and a lithium-ion battery. The hybrid has a seven-speed PDK double-clutch gearbox.
1 .Fisker Karma: By the end of this year or early next, the first real live models of the Fisker Karma, a sexy, luxury, $88,000-a-pop hybrid sports sedan, should begin to show up on U.S. roads. is a plug-in series hybrid using electric power to turn the wheels. The 22 kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery pack, to be provided by A123 Systems, promises 50 miles of electric range. A 2.2-liter GM Ecotec four will power a generator that keeps enough current flowing to add 250 more miles.
