For those who aren’t feeling the global economic crisis, why not jump out from your money bed and get yourself an Aerocar? It’s self explanatory, really. It’s a hybrid car-slash-plane from 1956 and it works! If you’re willing to spend more money in reconditioning, and hate the hassle of traffic, then the Aerocar is for you. $3.5 Million.
This November Honda announced the development of the Ecological Drive Assist System, which combines three functions to enhance fuel economy: the ECON Mode utilizes harmonized control of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) and engine to support more fuel-efficient driving. The guidance function on the other hand, uses speedometer color to provide real-time guidance on fuel-efficient driving. And finally the scoring function provides feedback about current driving practices, as well as feedback on cumulative, long-term fuel-efficient driving. This would be available spring of 2009 on the Honda’s all-new Insight hybrid vehicle. Once again thanks to GearCrave for this report. $TBA.
Do you have the need for speed? Do you wish you had the car for the best ride ever? Do you wish you could get all thrills you could ever get in life? This is what you should look at!

One could be too loud and proud in driving this new model from Ford. This 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is described as a thorough Ford, evident through its huge build, it is actually seven inches wider that the usual F-150. This model has higher performance Fox Racing Shox.

Luxury and good design at its finest, this is probably what Volkswagen was thinking when it conceptualized the new 2009 VW Passat CC. Rivaling the luxury sports cars out in the market today, the Passat will be up to par with a 2.0L, inline turbocharged four giving you 200 hp for the standard model. The 3.6L VR6 Sport model gets you 280hp at 5100 RPM. Each comes with a 6-speed manual, or 6-speed automatic with Tiptronic & paddle shifters as well as a sport-tuned suspension. Thanks to our friend, The Bachelor Guy, for posting this little beast. $26,790.
