The fashionable male of the modern era also consumes cars, and so Playboy has an opinion about which ones are worthy of their hard-earned dollars.

Filed under: Car Buying , Convertible , Volvo , Luxury The first quarter of 2012 will see the introduction of the Volvo C70 with the Inscription package. The Polestar-modified hardtop droptop carries a $3,900 premium above the four-seater’s $40,450 MSRP and is “exclusive to the North American market,” although exclusivity in this case appears to mean we get 500 of the car’s 2,000-unit global volume. Those 39 Benjamins will get you 250 horsepower and 273 pound-feet (a gain of 23 hp and 37 lb-ft); aluminum sport pedals; new leather for the seats, dash and some trim; plus 18-inch wheels, a spoiler, and a black grille. Ice White and Black Sapphire Metallic will be your only color choices

Filed under: Car Buying , Etc. , Europe , Volkswagen Every once in a while you’ll find an accidental lie on the Internet… A group of German organizations created a label applied to every new car sold in that country that grades it based on CO2 usage. The energy-efficiency categories run from A+ to G, with the greenest cars at the top and the lowest cars falling into the deep red of the seventh letter of the alphabet.
