Automotive Faqs

Usually around the end of the year everyone compiles a list containing all the best sports cars, SUV’s, and luxury vehicles of the entire year. This year Ward’s has decided to change things up a bit and instead compiled a top ten list of their favorite engines.

The final few that they narrowed it down to were engines that gave you power with fuel economy. Engines that many of us would love to know about when looking for our new vehicle for 2008.

Hybrids have become a popular vehicle to drive both economically and environmentally. However, the one complaint that hybrid drivers have is that they hate to drive them on the highway. Nissan is planning on changing all that with their new Infiniti FX by using an electrical component that will help the engine to go the proper highway speed.

Hybrid vehicle sales in the United States are on the rise, substantially in fact. Comparing reported November sales the US saw an 82% year-on-year increase to reach 33,233 total units, which represents 2.8% of all light-duty vehicles sold during the month. In fact, the total hybrid sales are actually a bit higher as (unfortunately) General Motors doesn’t list its hybrid sales separately, so it’s not reported in the total.
