What's New for 2012
For 2012, the Ford Edge gets a new, optional turbocharged four-cylinder "EcoBoost" engine that essentially produces the power of a V6 but returns the fuel economy of a four-cylinder. The EcoBoost Edge also comes with aerodynamic enhancements, which include shutters in the grille that automatically open and close based on speed for improved airflow. The Sync electronics interface system is also now available on the lower trims in a decontented, cheaper form.

What's New for 2011
The 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe is a low-production, high-performance version of the regular 1 Series.
Introduction
Stop reading right now. You don't have time for this. Only 1,000 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupes will be heading to the United States, and rumor has it that this will be the only year for production. You're going to have to move quickly in order to get one. And believe us, you do want one.
U.S. Consumer Spending Lower Than Expected
A decline in wages contributed to a weaker-than-expected consumer spending total for November. For the month, purchases rose a scant 0.1 percent compared to an earlier forecast of a 0.3 percent increase.
“In the absence of a significant pickup in income, we won’t see a big boost in spending,” said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas in New York. “The momentum will slow in the fourth quarter, but the economy is still growing.”
US Durable Goods Orders Jump 3.8%
The U.S. Commerce Department announced that orders for durable goods increased by 3.8 percent for the month of November. This greatly exceeded expectations of a 2 percent increase.
“This was a positive surprise, and the prior month’s number was also revised upwards,” said Chris Orndorff, senior portfolio manager at Western Asset Management.
“A good sign, but the rolling average of the last three months is still far below the high durable goods levels of Q1 2011.
“And the 2011 levels are below the 2010 levels, so by this measure the economy is still muddling along. However, at least it is in positive territory

What's New for 2012
The 2012 Honda Civic has been fully redesigned. Highlights include mild styling updates, improved fuel economy and more power for the Si model.
Introduction
For a new compact car to stand out in an increasingly competitive category, you'd think it should offer more than just a few subtle improvements. So we find ourselves in a rather unfamiliar position with the redesigned 2012 Honda Civic.

Introduction
Sooner or later, most everyone reaches that point in life where they feel compelled to trade their stylish, fun-to-drive set of wheels in for something more sensible. What many don't realize, however, is that cars like the 2012 Nissan Altima don't force you to choose between those two extremes.

,What's New for 2012
Other than increases in tow and payload ratings, the 2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty is unchanged.
Introduction
Not long ago, truck buyers looking for comfort as well as towing capability above the F-350 or any competitive 3500 pickup had to purchase Ford's commercial medium-duty F-450 or F-550 chassis cab. An aftermarket outfitter would then install a custom cargo bed, restitch the interior with leather seating and add other amenities favored by RV enthusiasts, racecar haulers or ranchers pulling a 10-stall horse trailer.

What's New for 2012
There are no major changes for the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze.
Introduction
Researching a small car on Edmunds.com to find a top pick used to be pretty straightforward. Chances are we'd point you to a Honda Civic, a Mazda 3 or, if you really wanted to fly your freak flag, a Subaru Impreza. But now things are different. There's been a regime change for small cars, and one of the rebel leaders is the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze.
