New Car Tracker: 11.21.08
The L.A. auto show brought a host of new models to the table for us to track, as well as a few updated release dates. Ford’s shared-platform trio of the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ will go on sale in spring 2009 alongside hybrid versions of the Fusion and Milan. Also seen at the show were the Nissan Cube and Kia Soul, which will arrive in early 2009 and spring 2009, respectively. As always, we remind our readers that we don’t list models that are rumored; we only list confirmed vehicles
