    The $37,995 2010 Ford Taurus SHO/b> could be called the SHH! The plainclothes performance car gets a super high output 365 horsepower twin turbo V-6 and all wheel drive that delivers the same fuel economy as the mainstream version of the Taurus, but keeps a low-key look.

    The 2010 Ford Transit Connect may be the only vehicle you can buy that's built in Turkey, but it won't gobble up too much gasoline. Sure to be a hit with your local florist or baker, the compact van gets 40 percent more miles per gallon than a full-size (20 city/24 highway) and can still haul 1,600 pounds worth of goodies to market. $21,475 gets you through one of its wide-opening doors.

    For when two wheels aren't enough the 2010 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 should do the trick. The leather covered pickup has more Harley logos than Daytona Bike Week, and a 320 horsepower V-8 that makes a Big Twin look really small.

    The 2010 Dodge Ram Heavy-Duty pickup has some serious stump-pulling power. 18,500 pounds of it from a Cummins Turbo Diesel engine cranking out 650 lb-ft of torque.

    The relatively stylish 2010 Kia Forte is more powerful than the Spectra it replaces, and more fuel efficient too. With Kia's 10 year/100,000 warranty it should be a strong-seller.

    The Rhys Millen Racing Hyundai Genesis Coupe isn't for sale, but we sure wish it was. With 550 horsepower and weighing just 2,400 pounds, it sounds like the perfect car for mountain roads, like Pike's Peak, where Millen plans to race it when he's not competing in the Formula Drift series. If you really want one, Hyundai also announced a $23,750 R-Spec version of the Genesis Coupe that's stripped of all nonessential equipment, so you buy one of those and try to build a racer of your own.
