UFE stands for "Ultra Fuel Economy," and this car delivers the name's promise. The UFE-III returns more than 170 miles per gallon thanks to a 0.168 coefficient of drag-the lowest in the world-and a hybrid powertrain comprising a three-cylinder direct-injection engine and two electric motors. Its clamshell-opening roof is pretty cool too.

Suzuki P.X concept

Suzuki bills its new P.X concept as "the ideal compact minivan in which to chill out and enjoy the ride." But the car's machined-aluminum look and slit windows say something completely different: perhaps "the ideal compact minivan in which to transport prisoners." For that, though, one would have to swap out the interior. In its current trim, the P.X features white leather Recaro seats and a center console designed to hold champagne flutes. Whatever the purpose, this uncharacteristically bold design is both unexpected and welcome from Suzuki.
