The automotive industry has experienced a significant upswing in 2012. Several automakers have introduced striking new models, injecting new excitement for buyers. Here are the six best car models released in 2012 1. Toyota Camry Hybrid The Toyota Camry Hybrid has been completely redesigned to attract younger buyers who wanted a sportier look. It also has a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine and an electric drive motor that provides 200 hp.

Ford Motor Co. will donate a customized 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca to the Cattle Baron's Ball auction on Sept. 29 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. It has a one-of-a-kind candy red paint job made just for this car, for this event. The Cattle Baron's Ball is a yearly event that benefits the American Cancer Society.

"Like many people, my family has been personally affected by the challenges of cancer, and I am proud to chair the Cattle Baron's Ball in Detroit," said Farley, Ford's group vice president for global marketing, sales and service. "As a fan of the powerful, historic Mustang, I am especially pleased to provide this American icon for auction." The ball will have a Western theme, as always, and feature Texas cuisine, dancing, the auction and a specia

On Sale: Spring 2012 Base Price: $27,395 Drivetrain: 240-hp, 2.0-liter turbo I4/288-hp, 3.5-liter V6/365-hp, 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6; FWD/AWD, six-speed automatic Fuel Economy: 2.0-liter turbo I4: N/A (FWD); 3.5-liter: 23 mpg (FWD), 21 mpg (AWD), 3.5-liter turbo: 20 mpg (AWD) Having unveiled the 2013 Fusion at the Detroit auto show--hot on the heels of Frankfurt's Evos concept which heralded its styling direction--Ford had to do something to keep the Taurus from looking a tad long in the tooth. Hence this mid-cycle refresh. The new front end gets a wider look to mitigate the sedan's tallish stance, while the rear is nicely spruced up with LED taillights bisected by a full-width chrome bar. The overall effect is zazzier, sportier and generally more pleasing to the eye. The extra-zoot SHO models also receive five-leaf cyber-clover wheels, new faux fender vents and a blackout mesh-grille treatment for a measure of menace. Engine choices? Ford's got a few. The base
