2009 Acura TL
We're still on the fence whether or not the '09 Acura TL is good lookin' car or not, and though we're slowly (very slowly) warming up to the TL's styling we still think it looks like the lovechild of a BMW and Optimus Prime. Two models of the '09 TL will be available - a 280 hp 3.5 liter V6 front wheel drive model and an All Wheel Drive model with a 310 hp 3.7 liter V6. Link: $35,000-$44,000 / Source

Fisker Karma
Cars that look and perform as well as the Fisker Karma, don't really have the best fuel mileage, but this isn't just any car. The Fisker Karma is the first four-door luxury hybrid that uses a small gas engine that turns the generator, charges the lithium ion batteries which then power the electric motor. All of this allows the Karma to drive emissions free for up to 50 miles if the car is charged daily and if charged daily, the owner will only need to fuel the car with gas once a year. The car can also be optioned with a solar roof that helps charge and cool the interior while parked and Fisker will even provide an option to purchase solar panels for their home to that will generate electricity during the day to help charge the car overnight, which also means zero costs and zero emissions.

BMW CS Concept
Many BMW purists have blamed the "banglizing" of the brand to be at fault for the underwhelming designs that have come out of the company for the past few years, and we definitely agree with them. However, BMW unveiled a concept today that is the next step of Bangle's "flame-surfaced" design language and we have to admit, we're very excited about the design and hope they decide to move the model into production as soon as possible, with most of the concept's styling intact, of course. The CS Concept rides on the next-gen 7-series platform and is powered by a 6.0 liter V12. A sign of things to come? We hope so. [$TBD]
