Porsche Panamera — Car of the Year


Review by Jason H. Harper
&#160;
Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) &#8212; This year, I’ve driven overhyped and underrated cars, green vehicles and 1,001-horsepower ones, smart cars and silly ones. Some rocked, many didn’t, and it’s natural to compare them.
&#160;
So here’s my list of the best cars of the year, broken into seven [...]]]></description>

Nov. 19 (Bloomberg) &#8212; The elite are in trouble. Those exotic carmakers who produce fewer than 10,000 cars a year are looking at future fuel regulations and are realizing they need a plan. Fast.
