Fisker hopes to impress the Karma police

Among the different alternative-fuel strategies playing out, Henrik Fisker is betting big on plug-in hybrids. At a recent dinner speech, he said plug-in hybrids will be the dominant type of car for the next 10 to 15 years.

Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

Reviews

  • Canon Pixma MX330

    The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$200 category. An auto-document feeder, 1.8-inch LCD screen, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for creative homes on a budget.

  • Apple MacBook (June 2009)

    For AU$1599, it's hard to beat this MacBook's nearly Pro-level specs if you're in the market for a budget Apple laptop.

  • Forza Motorsport 3

    The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.

  • Western Digital My DVR Expander

    Western Digital's TiVo expanding drive works as advertised, but is only recommended for non-networked homes.

  • Canon IXUS 990 IS

    When you pay a premium for a compact camera, you should expect the very best, and that's almost what the IXUS 990 IS delivers.

  • Apple Mac Pro (2009)

    Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios.

  • Apple Mac Mini (2009)

    Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

  • Toshiba Satellite A300 (2009)

    Toshiba's A300 certainly stands out in a crowd, but its battery life means you won't be out in the crowds for long.

  • Hear the Brabus Smart impersonate the Enterprise

    Blind people believe hybrid and electric cars pose a safety risk. They reckon that because these things make virtually no noise, it's only a matter of time before they're involved in some sort of collision with an errant Tesla Roadster or maybe even a Prius/RX400h running on battery power.

  • Mercedes-Benz F-Cell caught in the wild

    While CNET Car Tech in the US was out testing the Aston Martin DB9 Volante in the Santa Cruz mountains recently, we ran across the car's antithesis, a Mercedes-Benz F-Cell research car. We easily caught up with the F-Cell and followed it to a scenic lookout, where we cornered its driver and started grilling him about the car.

  • Q&A: Better Place's electric car plans, brilliant or nuts?

    Shai Agassi is famously persuasive. With just an idea, he was able to raise US$300 million to launch Better Place, a venture that plans to build electric car charging spots and battery switching stations in Israel, Denmark, Australia, San Francisco and many other places.

  • Rear view mirror with built-in video camera

    Emotions can run high after a fender bender, with finger pointing and the blame game an all-too-common occurrence. The best way to stop any unpleasantness from escalating would be to have a neutral third party who witnessed the accident. Enter the View Mirror Car Camera Recorder Pro which can help you determine who's at fault, even without a human witness.
