The 2012 Scion iQ is a minimalist metropolitan runabout that gets great fuel economy. Style and utility are the messages here, not driving excitement at $15,700.00.

The future has arrived and it’s come in a pocket-size urban runabout designed for utility, not speed. The 2012 Scion iQ measures barely 10 feet long, can spin around in a turning circle about the size of two king-size mattresses and gets 37 mpg on the EPA combined cycle. Toyota reckons that this makes the Scion iQ the perfect expression of personal mobility as urban living becomes more popular among a younger generation in search of jobs and affordable housing.

2012 Scion iQ Hatchback

Though it looks like a grown-up Smart Fortwo, the Scion iQ actually performs like a downsize Toyota Corolla. It’s usefully calm and composed, keeps pace with freeway traffic with confident stability and churns through city errands without protest. The combination of a 94-horsepower engine and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) gives it a kind of untroublesome performance that we might otherwise associate with an electric vehicle.

NICE BUT WHAT IS IT BEATING OUT IN SMALL SUV NONE THAT I KNOW OF HMMMM I’LL GET BACK TO YOU.

If you’re lookin’ for a manly ride, it gets no manlier than the Dodge Ram. 2012, Dodge steps up the macho with bossy new sheetmetal and a more powerful Hemi V-8. But during a brief preview spin, we discovered that the Ram 1500 also has been tamed by heaps of refinement.

Underhood, improved breathing helps raise the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8’s output to 3?? horsepower (from 345) and 407 pound-feet of torque (from 3??). Thus equipped, it ­accelerates forcefully and pulls race or boat trailers easily. Meanwhile, cylinder deactivation allows the Hemi’s fuel economy to match that of the mid-level 310-hp, 4.7-liter V-8 and come within 10 percent of the base 215-hp, 3.7-liter V-6.

The Ram 1500 can seat between three and six people. Base Ram 1500s get manually-adjustable front bench seats with either vinyl or cloth upholstery, but top-of-the-line Laramie Longhorn models have luxurious leather-trimmed front bucket seats and heated second-row seats.

Reviewers praise the Ram’s front seats for being especially comfortable and supportive, and say that even the rear seat of the Quad Cab is spacious. However, test drivers note that the seats aren’t quite as nice as those up front.

Although you might think that its coil-sprung rear axle imparts commendable ride and handling at the expense of burliness, the Ram maintains great cargo and towing abilities. Three engine, cab, and bed choices are available, and the Ram’s styling remains brash and unmistakable.

Base Price: $21,510 - $43,550

Porsche is a part of automotive history and legend for its two-door sportscars, but that hasn’t stopped it from veering slightly off its track. First, it built a sport-utility vehicle, the Cayenne. Then for 2010, it introduced the Porsche Panamera, the brand’s first four-door car. The Panamera lineup now includes Panamera 4, Panamera S and 4S, Panamera GTS models, plus the top-performance…
