Day-to-Day Dream Cars at the 2008 L.A. Auto Show

Day-to-day dream cars at the L.A. auto show

Everybody's gotta go sometime...to work, that is. But the new cars the 2008 L.A. auto show proved that your drive to work shouldn't give you the kind of headache normally reserved for Amy Winehouse's publicity agent. We have seen the future of commuting, and it is good, and affordable, and pretty green too.

The 2008 L.A. auto show witnessed the premiere of plenty of new cars that go a long way toward reducing the burden of your daily drive. If you want style, the 2010 Mazda 3 delivers. If you crave roomy hip, what could be more honest than a car called the Nissan Cube? If you want to keep your carbon footprint small, the 2010 Honda Insight, Chevy Volt and Mini E all give you green-car street cred.

The days of the commuter car as appliance are numbered and coming to an end: These daily drivers are all coming to your town.
