autoMedia.com: Small Cars that Make a Big Impression at 2011 Detroit Auto Show

Torrance, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 19, 2011
Exciting new small cars from all the major manufacturers dominate this year?s Detroit auto show?one of the premiere automotive events in the world. Due largely to ever-rising fuel prices and consumer desire for more efficient, environmentally-friendly vehicles, the auto industry is responding with a plethora of fun, smaller cars, affordably priced low yet loaded with features?some bordering on luxury. Here are some autoMedia.com favorites.
Toyota revealed a new, roomier Prius V production model and smaller Prius C concept, making good on its promise to expand the successful Prius brand name. The Prius V essentially raises the roof on the familiar Prius body shape, increasing rear headroom and making a 50-percent improvement in cargo space. Meant to be fun to drive as well as economical, the Prius C concept was created to attract singles and eco-concerned couples.
Honda introduced two favorite small cars: The 9th-generation Civic Coupe and Civic Sedan in concept forms, not too different than the actual upcoming production versions. More fluid and modern on the outside, the new 2012 Civic family will sport new interiors and more fuel-efficient engines. The folks at autoMedia.com will be testing the new Civics soon. The 2012 Honda Civic lineup is scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. this spring.
One of the most exciting small cars to immerge out of the domestic market is the new Ford Focus Electric. The Focus Electric is based on the standard Ford Focus and is designed to compete with the Nissan?s LEAF and Chevy?s Volt. In addition to having two more doors, the Focus Electric is said to boast a recharge time of three hours, half that of the LEAF. It will be interesting to see the results of this electrically charged battle when the Focus Electric goes on sale later this year.
GM revealed its replacement for the Aveo, the new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. While the Sonic moniker might conjure up images of animated hedgehogs, this new entry-level small car is anything but prickly. The Sonic benefits from an available turbocharged 1.4L engine that produces almost 20 more hp than the Ford Fiesta. Its aggressively style exterior is sure to make it a hit with younger drivers looking for an exciting small car.
Sharing the same architecture as the Chevrolet Cruze, the 2012 Buick Verano compact luxury sedan isn?t merely tacking its own badge on a Chevy. Instead, engineers have added distinctive Buick touches to give the compact sedan a luxurious flavor. They?ve also given it a considerably more powerful engine than Chevrolet offers, along with bigger wheels. The Verano is Buick?s third new model in two years, following the recently added Regal, and it?s the first new model in the small cars luxury segment?an area that Buick has not occupied for quite a few years.
Originally known for building small cars, Hyundai debuted the new Veloster and Curb. The 40-mpg 2012 Hyundai Veloster is a front-wheel-drive coupe with an interesting three-door layout?one for the driver and two on the passenger side. More significantly, it is the latest threat from Hyundai to Honda and Toyota as the fast-moving company is rapidly expanding and updating its product line with impressive models, backed by fuel efficiency, fit and finish, generous standard equipment, and styling panache. The Curb concept is the Hyundai alternative to the Kia Soul, positioned under the Tucson. There it would compete with the Nissan Juke and Scion xB with a less-polarizing design.
The company that?s created two generations of brilliant small cars has brought out its latest concept, the Paceman. In contrast with the rather vertical profile of the Countryman, the MINI Paceman concept relies upon a more horizontal theme, which helps to accentuate the car’s width. Like the rear bumper on the Cooper S Countryman, the Paceman’s bumper contains a diffuser that channels airflow between the dual exhaust outlets. According to MINI, the Paceman?s windows “appear to wrap around the car like a band of glass with the roof ‘suspended’ on top and painted in a striking, contrasting color.”
