2008 Ford Bullitt Mustang

Driving the new car is surely easier, but it retains the cool image and sound of the original, thanks to special Dark Highland Green paint, unique wheels and a retuned exhaust to match the DVD sound track.The 4.6-liter V-8 is bumped up to 315 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque.

Prius Most Popular Car in Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley has more than it's fair share of brains, which is probably why the Prius is now the best selling car in the area. 1,627 were bought and registered in May alone. Rod Diridon, executive director of the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University, said, "Are we ahead of the curve, or what? The intellectual capacity within Silicon Valley is amazing. That higher level of education reflects a higher level of understanding of the terrible consequences of global warming." The increase in availability has also helped. Waiting lists are all but gone, and Toyota are producing far more of the model than they previously were. However, the Prius only represents one percent of car sales in the US, so there is still plenty...
