Top 10 Cars at Detroit Auto Show
By Chuck Tannert
This is the list you’ve been waiting for. Forget the overviews of the best or worst dressed celebs at the Golden Globes. That’s kid stuff. Here, we give you our picks for the top 10 cars — ranging from on-the-way production models to pie-in-the-sky concepts — from the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. While the mood might be somber here in Motown, there is impressive metal to see. These are our favorites, in alphabetical order.
I PICKED SOME.
1)Cadillac Converj
If this sexy looking coupe is any indication, GM’s luxury brand is hot-to-trot in the race for zero emissions. Like the Chevy Volt, which is due to go into production by the end of 2010, the Converj is an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), which means it will be equipped with an electric motor as well as a gasoline engine. The electric motor provides primary propulsion, while the gas-powered engine acts as a generator to recharge the vehicle’s batteries. Plus, it’s super sexy. Just look at it.

2)Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO Concept
The three cars that make up the BlueZero lineup could represent a monumental culture shift for the luxury carmaker. The BlueZERO E-Cell is a plug-in electric vehicle that can drive around 125 miles on a single charge. The BlueZERO E-Cell Plus adds a small 3-cylinder gasoline engine and has a range of more than 370 miles, while the BlueZERO F-Cell has a fuel cell that converts compressed hydrogen into electricity. It can drive 350 emissions-free miles on one tank of gaseous hydrogen.

3)Volvo S60 Concept
Though packed with lots of design features — such as a floating center console made of solid Orrefors crystal — that probably won’t make it to the production model, this new “sport” sedan provides a look into the Swedish automaker’s future. The front is unmistakably Volvo, with an enlarged, trapezoidal grille flanked by sweeping LED headlights. Beneath the sculpted hood is a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDi) engine that produces 180 horsepower and is expected to achieve 47 mpg on the highway and emit just 0.42 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile.

BMW Z4Top 10 Sexiest Cars
By Chuck Tannert
What is sexy? Aside from the salaciously suggestive connotation, the term simply refers to something that arouses the senses, or is attractive or appealing to look at. Well, the cars listed here are truly sexy. They aroused the crowds at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, and help bring a little joy to an otherwise somber affair. Enough with the poetic prose — here are the ten sexiest vehicles from Detroit as chosen by the editors of MSN Autos. All of these slick, powerful beasts made us tingle in very shameful ways, and made us wish we had a bigger driveway.
1)Audi R8
Audi has already challenged exotic sports cars from Porsche and even Ferrari with the R8, a two-seat coupe with cutting edge looks and razor sharp handling. The German automaker upped the ante with the R8 5.2 at Detroit. It can rush to 62 mph in 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 196 mph, according to Audi. It goes on sale in Europe in the second quarter of 2009, but a U.S. on-sale date hasn’t been set.

2)BMW Z4
eat little roadster will appeal to buyers who want the ultimate driving machine. The 2009 Z4 has more power, new styling and a retractable hardtop that motorizes into the trunk in only 20 seconds. The base trim gets a 255-horsepower 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine carried over from the previous model Z4. Performance fans looking for more get-up-and-go will be happy to hear that BMW is also offering this new roadster with a 300-horsepower turbocharged 6.
3)Dodge Circuit
This battery-powered rear-wheel-drive performance coupe can go 150 to 200 miles on a single charge, zips from zero to 60 in less than 5.0 seconds, and has a top speed of 120 mph. While that last stat isn’t so sexy, this little roadster is very stimulating. It’s basically an unaltered re-badge of the Lotus Europa adorned with Dodge’s signature crosshair grille. It is powered by 200 kW electric motor, lithium-ion battery pack and a sophisticated controller to manage the energy flow. The trio works to develop an impressive 268 horsepower and a neck snapping 480 lb-ft of torque.

4)Fisker Karma S
When the Karma goes on sale in November for $87,900, it will be the first mass-produced plug-in electric vehicle sold in the United States. It will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and have a top speed of 125 mph. The Karma S, its convertible counterpart, will use the same mechanicals but have a slick drop-top. As with the Karma, the S will be powered by two electric motors that send 408 horsepower and 959 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.

5)Mercedes-Benz Stirling Moss SLR McLaren
Though it won’t be available in the United States, this 650-horsepower, 217.5-mile-per-hour open-top roadster will be one of the world’s most exclusive supercars. Production of the SLR McLaren on which it is based will end in May, making the Stirling Moss edition one final variant to outdo all the others. Only 75 will be built, and only current SLR owners will be considered for the privilege of plunking down 750,000 euros (that’s over a million bucks) to purchase one.
6)Volkswagen BlueSport
Boasting a top speed of 140 mph while managing to get a claimed 55 mpg on the highway, this turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel concept puts out 180 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque at just 1750 rpm. Coupled to a 6-speed double-clutch transmission, the TDI engine launches to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. Vehicle weight is kept to a minimum (2,600 lbs) through extensive use of aluminum and other lightweight materials.
