    Consumer Reports Cars Blog: Best vehicles for fuel economy and acceleration

    Full table at Consumer Reports - Fuel economy vs. performance.

    I didn't realize that the NAH is was almost a second quicker in the 0-60 than the HyCam and 1.3 seconds faster than the FFH.

    Shame they didn't include the Tesla Roadster;)
    After all, they did include the Lotus Elise.

    Some of Consumer Reports vehicle classifications seem "quirky" overlapping and a little random.

    The Xd is classified as a subcompact, while the Golf is a "small car"? Okay the Xd might be a little smaller but I'd consider them both very related.

    The mini is put in a classification as a "sporty" car? That's a little vague. What's a "sporty car"?

    When you start using classifications like "Sporty" and "Upscale" I think you need to step back. Those are pretty subjective terms.
