2010 Nissan Altima

While Nissan won’t release full information on all of the updates for the 2010 Nissan Altima, they have provided us with this teaser image, to give us just enough of a peek to keep us wanting more. What we do know so far is that it will have a revised hood, grille and front bumper, as well as revised rear license plate area trim.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Finally it’s here, the 2010 version of one of the all time favorite all-American sports cars, this is the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. There is a huge Corvette-based V8 underneath the hood and takes it best features from the 1969 model and updates them to a current standard. Oh yea, this thing handles like a beast too. You at least need to test drive this thing, even if you don’t plan on buying it.

2010 Nissan Rogue

On the verge of releasing to the masses, the 2010 Nissan Rogue has had some of it’s prices announced already, so that those that are interested can start planning their budgets. The starting price of the Rogue will be $20,340, with a Value Package costing an extra $1,040, which will end up saving you over a grand as opposed to buying all of the extras yourself.

2010 Saab 9-5

2010 Saab 9 5
Since their split with GM, Saab had promised to take a more Scandinavian direction with their new 2010 9-5. This new version features a new all-turbocharged powertrain and beefy styling. With a wide choice of engine options and all the other new features this year, we think this might end up being the year of the Saab.

2010 Audi S4 Sedan

2010 Audi S4 Sedan
The Audi S4 Sedan is a more performance oriented version of the Audi A4 Sedan. This one does not include a drop-top like the A4, as the drop-top is being phased out of the A4 as well. According to Audi the car gets 24 miles to the gallon, which is hugely important in these troubled times.

2010 Ford Flex EcoBoost

2010 Ford Flex EcoBoost
At first, reactions to the Ford Flex were not very positive, but that seems to have changed, as sales of the Flex are expected to exceed the sales of the Explorer this year. The EcoBoost is this car’s real claim to fame though, and we suggest a test-drive to see whether or not it really suits you.
