This year in the automotive sector is one of transition and re-affirmation, with manufacturers generally choosing to go one of two ways: back to the past, falling back on nostalgia-rich tradition; or forward with new technologies and design formulations. The (fuel-electric) hybrids introduced just a couple of years back are seeing refinements and improvements, and more models in the line-ups offered in a hybrid version.

The Americans, not surprisingly, have introduced many re-issues of past higher performance classics, relying on brute strength, size, noise and horsepower to get the adrenaline pumping in an otherwise largely distressed manufacturing sector.
