STREET DREAMS<br />
Easily the hottest hybrid we’ve seen to date is<br />
Lexus’ CT200h concept, a 4-door hatchback that<br />
has enough styling to put its Prius brothers to<br />
shame. Give us one of these and we’ll make sure to<br />
slam it and set it off with proper aero.<br />

SUBARU GOES WIDE AND<br />
BRINGS THE STI SEDAN BACK<br />
The highly-anticipated return of the STI sedan couldn’t have<br />
come at a better time than NYIAS, shortly after Subaru<br />
announced that the 2011 WRX would be offered with a wider<br />
body. Now enthusiasts will also have their chance to pick between<br />
which STI they’d prefer more - the hatchback or sedan – and is<br />
the first time ever that Subaru has had both versions available<br />
at the same time. We’re really loving the sedan – not because we<br />
dislike the hatch – but because it’s something we haven’t seen<br />
in a while and were starting to miss. From every angle it just<br />
kicks ass. Power-wise, it hasn’t<br />
changed but Subaru has taken<br />
steps to improve the handling,<br />
similar to that of the 2010 STI<br />
Special Edition but even more<br />
<strong>performance</strong>-oriented. We’ll be<br />
driving these very soon as well,<br />
so stay tuned for our driving<br />
impressions.<br />

We’ve been waiting on this to drop for a long time – Acura’s TSX Sport Wagon is<br />
going to be a nice alternative to the European A4s and 3 Series wagons, but only as<br />
far as looks are concerned. With no AWD drivetrain in the works and the standard<br />
2.4L K-series engine, the jury is out on the <strong>performance</strong> front.<br />

Mitsubishi spoiled us with free back<br />
massages and maple-glazed (with bacon, we<br />
might add) donuts, so we graciously offer in<br />
return a preview of the upcoming Outlander<br />
Sport – something you might call a “more<br />
fun” version of the Outlander GT because<br />
of its shorter size and paddle shifter CVT<br />
transmission. We hear Mitsu’s R&D team may<br />
make a true project out of this yet, swapping<br />
in the Ralliart’s engine and transmission to<br />
make it a compact SUV like no other. They<br />
had us at free back massages.<br />
