We’re making our lists a little early this year, as Tesla can only promise delivery of our custom Roadster by the end of the year if you order today (October 28) by eight o’clock Eastern.

Oh, and if you live in Colorado, you may be eligible for a $42,000 tax credit.

Still can’t justify it? A subscription to Winding Road also makes a great gift for discriminating drivers.

We currently have the 2010 Toyota Prius in our Austin fleet, and we know you have questions about it. Is it nearly as good as it is popular? Ask us, and find out.

See it in the gallery above, then head over to the Ask It page in our forums, and we’ll answer all your questions to the best of our abilities.

As part of a larger hot hatch comparison test (stay tuned), we have the all-new 2010 Volkswagen GTI in the Ypsilanti test fleet this week. Ours is the five-door with the six-speed manual and it's loaded to the brim, but regardless of what tech options this car has, there's no doubt that our biggest love is with the 2.0-liter turbo four under the hood.

Since we'll surely be putting a lot of miles on the GTI this week, we thought we'd offer it up for a round of Ask It in our forums. We're ready for your questions.

Opening the office door onto the parking lot, we shivered just a bit. It may have been the fall weather descending upon us, but the face of the Acura TL SH-AWD, it’s imposing, angular slabs of sheet metal glaring at us from under the slanted headlights and diminutive badge, probably contributed to our brief shudder. Having already seen, addressed, and come to terms with the TL’s appearance, we armed ourselves with the keys and got in.

Starting up the car, the feeling of the clutch is the first tactile sensation to grab us. The uptake is so smooth, it’s difficult to feel when the clutch is engaging. As we lift our foot, we feel for that telltale tension in the pedal that tells us something is happening. Instead, we feel nothing, and we have to listen very carefully to the engine, and feel from our seat, to know how quickly to release the clutch. Granted, all this happens in a matter of moments, but these are moments we are used to experiencing mostly through our foot. Not so with the TL.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec, which we've been eagerly awaiting since the launch of the 2010 Genesis Coupe, will debut at SEMA and, more importantly, is now arriving at dealerships.

The tuner-friendly R-Spec deletes all the convenience features we don't want or need, giving drivers a lighter, less expensive vehicle ($23,750 MSRP). It also features the Track model perfomance equipment, such as a tuned suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels with summer tires, Brembo brakes, and a Torsen LSD. It also gets a set of front strut camber adjustment bolts.

And, of course, it only comes with a six-speed manual transmission. See? Hyundai gets it.

Advanced Flow Engineering offers up a new Stage 2 cold air intake system for your 2007-10 BMW M3. The intake, which has an MSRP between about $1180 and $1370 replaces the stock air intake with six-inch performance air filter, aluminum housing, and flow-improving plastic tubes.

The AFE air intake improves airflow by 85 percent, boosting horsepower, torque, and fuel economy.

We think a 15-horsepower and 13 pound-feet increase, as well as improved gas mileage, for around a thousand dollars (the prices are currently reduced on AFE’s website) is not too shabby.

Subaru has pulled the sheet off of its Hybrid Tourer Concept at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, revealing a crisp, forward-looking, hybrid wagon from a company well known for forward-thinking wagons. We gave you the full details about the Tourer Concept a bit ago (here), but didn’t want to miss out on passing along more and better photography of the fetching fantasy wagon. Click through our gallery above to have a look.

After many, many rounds of spy shots, the final details and production images have been released of the much-anticipated Lexus LFA supercar, which will have a limited production run of 500 units and will be sold for -- get ready -- $375,000. (Start saving your pennies.)

The details on this thing are nothing short of supercar stock, though its front-engine, rear-drive configuration is a change of pace from the Audis and Lambos that we've learned to love. Still, having 560 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque is nothing to frown at, especially in a car that only weighs 3263 pounds and revs up to a screaming redline of 9000 rpm. 0-62 miles per hour? 3.7 seconds. Top speed? 202 mph. We're ready for some track time.

If you have the money, you can put an LFA in your garage starting in early 2011 and take it Nissan GT-R hunting. Click through the post for the full press release and scroll through our gallery of images above to see the LFA from all angles.
