Good picks. The NSX was there last year so it should be disqualified  :)

Volkswagen Cross Coupe: here's another one to add to the list; might as well call it the VW Sailboat while they are at it!

Refreshing to see some good design work by almost all the manufacturers.

^^^ Agreed. I don't find anything there bad looking really. New 4 series seems really nice even and I'm not a big BMW fan. New Hyundai looks interesting as well - that is a VERY pronounced grille on that thing.

I'd been inquiring about diesel hybrids for at least a year now but with the efficiency of the newer 4s (especially Mazdas) is it even worth it to look at diesel hybrids? The good 'ol IC has come a LOOOOONG way even in the last  few years. Amazing what they've done really.

Good lord, look at that Atlas.  Pretty soon trucks will be nothing but a football-field sized ugly grille with a cab and four wheels attached.   :-X

VW CrossBlue. 2.1l/10km. If they prove it right and the price is decent then it will be a bomb. A huge setback to any fully electrical cars for sure since the fuel savings will not do much.
