Seat Ibiza Ecomotive

Designer: Luc Donckerwolke
Available: Europe

With growing eco-concern comes this supermini, which gets anywhere from 60 to 80 mpg from its three-cylinder diesel engine. The car's design eliminates drag with special tires, closed hubcaps, and a closed grill.

Looks like a Kia

OMG, I'll take 3 or maybe 4 ...disposable car!!

Tata Nano

Designer: Girish Wagh, Justin Norek, Pierre Castinel
Available: India

Forget air conditioning, power steering, bells, or whistles; this immensely affordable machine, which currently costs around $2,500, is all about getting from point A to point B.

That's a big Toyota

Toyota Century Royal

Available: Japan

Government officials in Japan use these limousines, designed with long, stately body lines and muted colors, to mimic the British Bentley.

Toyota Crown Majesta

Available: Asia

This four-door luxury sedan draws from the design languages of classic European and German cars. The minimal lines, traditional grill and headlights, and flat trunk project a tasteful conservatism fit for an executive.

Looks like a Buick 4 door sedan.

The scirocco Lives again!

Volkswagen Scirocco

Designer: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Available: Europe

The first-generation Scirocco was sold in the U.S. in the 1970s, but there are no plans to bring this version to America. The two-door hatchback includes typical VW design details, but has a punchy, angular front-end and a low, streamlined roof

Wiesmann GT MF5

Available: Europe

From the triple-curved hood to the distinctive spoiler, this car is certainly eye-catching. The large front end, oversize wheels, and cockpit-like driver's area make this beauty seem as if it's in constant motion.

If a Jag and a Bently had babies.

I could see that Lotus Europa as a possible rebody for the Fiero.

Alfa Romeo Brera

Designer: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Available: Europe

Famed Italian carmaker Pininfarina added some flair to this sporty two-door coupe. It has the front end of an old-school muscle car, but the lines and hatchback give it a more modern look.

Seeing cars like this gives me some hope that Fiat (who owns Alfa) won't turn Chrysler into a manufacturer of crackerbox commuter booths.

Alfa actually started selling the 8c Competizione in the US as of last year.

The platform current Alfas are built off of was codeveloped with GM. New Alfa engines use GM blocks. The four cylinders are based off of the Ecotec and the V6 is based off of the HFV6.

What will be interesting is going into your local Chrysler/Fiat dealership and buying a car that is half GM.
