Square plus hair; Nissan's Cube Krom a comfy ride with a combover

For 2010, Nissan has added another trim level to the boxy Cube, the Krom. In short, the Krom turns the affordable Cube into a more distinctive and less affordable Cube. At $20,440, the Krom adds $6,450 over the suggested retail price of the base Cube 1.8. Perhaps more relevant, it's $2,990 more expensive than the closest trim level, the 1.8 SL.

Diesel Q7 offers high mileage; Bevy of luxury featues and new LED lights turn heads

Many automakers abandoned their diesel plans in recent years as new-car sales tanked and diesel prices rose. The Q7 is a great fit for a diesel power plant; its excellent highway mileage is far above that of the gasoline Q7, plus the hefty SUV gets around easily with its massive amounts of diesel torque. For 2010, the Q7 has Audi's signature, eye-catching LED running lights available.
