Summer is a busy time for car sales. A lot of new models will sneak onto lots over the next few months. Because of a down economy and high gas prices, cars that once captured our attention may go entirely forgotten, and that would be too bad. Below is our most current list of upcoming new models. If we’ve left off a car that you’re interested in, please let us know in the comments. As always, we remind our readers that we don’t list models that are rumored; we only list confirmed vehicles.
