<p>Those looking to get a more economical vehicle will might want to set their eyes on the 2010 Subary Legacy which sports a EPA of 31 mpg highway and 23 in town on the 2.5i model with CVT transmission.</p>
<p>Also offered is a 6MT transmission with 27 mpg highway and 19 in town. The Legacy 2.5 GT with manual tranmission and the 3.6R with 5-speed auto will net you 25mpg on the highway and 18 in town.</p>
<p>Whatever model you choose you&#8217;re getting AWD, room for 5 passengers and enough power to please any motor head (ok maybe not <em>any</em>). But you&#8217;ll get all of this at a modest $19,995.</p>

<p>Volvo crossovers in the XC line have had great success in the U.S. The 2010 XC60, unveiled at last year&#8217;s Geneva Motor Show, adds a smaller, sportier angle to the company&#8217;s line up. The company has enlarged the XC lineup in the U.S. with the addition of a new 3.2L model, which falls in with the existing 3.0L T6 turbocharged model.</p>
<p>Pricing for the 235hp (175kW) 3.2L FWD model is $32,395 plus an $850 destination charge, and the AWD variation will cost you $34,395 plus the destination charge. Pricing for the 281hp (209kW) 3.0L T6 stays at $37,200 plus $850 in destination charges for the base FWD model.</p>

<p>Fiat is planning to bring an AWD version of its acclaimed 500 minicar to market in an attempt to compete with the batch of recently launched and approaching models from Mini. The Italian carmaker will release a car next year with a decided wagon-like appearance. Part of the reason for launching a bigger version of the 500 is because of the release of Mini&#8217;s Clubman, which the 500 Giardinetta hopes to take sales away from.</p>
<p>The new AWD variation, based on the Giardinetta, will go up against Mini’s own upcoming crossover. This AWD Fiat 500 will use the same 4WD system applied in the Panda 4&#215;4 hatch, with which the 500 already shares its platform. This ought to help keep development costs down, and this in turn will mean a better deal for customers when it appears in showrooms later next year.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s said to sport the same engine that Ford Focus RS has, a 2.5 liter inline-five cylinder turbo engine. The  new C30 will have a Haldex all-wheel drive system, large 20 inch wheels and a special body kit to lower the whole car. </p>
<p>From what we&#8217;ve heard so far only about 4,500 units will be made worldwide so stay informed in order not to miss it. </p>
