FOR MORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com 2010 Nissan Cube. Drafting off the inroads made by other boxy small cars like the Scion xB and Honda Element, Nissan has finally seen fit to bring its previously Japan-exclusive Cube to the US. Now in its third generation the US-bound Cube is somewhat less cube-like, instead offering a cleaner, curvier take on the straight-edged people hauler theme. While eye-catching details like an asymmetrical tailgate and ultra-modern headlights make it easy to focus solely on design the Cube is meant for more than just looking at. The interior is supposedly inspired by the rounded contours of a jacuzzi and can accommodate five passengers in comfort thanks in part to sliding second row bench seat. Power comes from 122-horsepower four cylinder and a promised 30 miles per gallon performance should help endear the Cube to hipsters looking to save cash while rolling in style.

Ford Escape Hybrid – Kelley Blue Book’s Review

Filed under Going Green
www.kbb.com While many other crossover SUVs are getting sleeker, more urban exteriors, the Ford Escape Hybrid has received a rugged redesign. The heightened beltline and sculpted hood remind us that the Escape Hybrid may offer great fuel economy, but first and foremost it is an SUV. Ford’s design team takes its environmentally friendly vision even further by using 100-percent recycled seat materials, and Ford purports that, through a carbon off-set program, it has countered any greenhouse gases created by its production. Add to this SUV-like versatility, cargo room and four-wheel drive, and the Ford Escape Hybrid seems a natural choice for those who like to rough it without roughing-up the planet.

Volkswagen Concept BlueSport – Kelley Blue Book

FOR MORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Volkswagen Concept BlueSport. Volkswagen’s latest concept car will reach 60 mph in 6.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 140 mph. With specs like that, most Americans would be surprised to learn that it also runs on diesel fuel and can return highway fuel economy of up to 50 miles per gallon. Developed for “maximum driving fun and minimal fuel consumption,” the lightweight, 180-horsepower Concept BlueSport demonstrates how mean and green can be perfect partners. Combining the low-end torque of a 300-horsepower V6, a six-speed DSG transmission and 45:55 front:rear weight distribution, the compact, mid-engine, rear-drive roadster promises big fun. On the economy front, the BlueSport steals a couple tricks from the hybrid playbook, employing an automatic start-stop system and regenerative braking. In its quest to happily unite agility and frugality, it also foregoes a folding hardtop in favor of a lighter, manually operated cloth roof.
