Finally, one of those Jetsons-looking concept cars we were promised in the eighties is headed for production. The three-wheeled hybrid Aptera gets 300 miles per gallon and also comes in an all-electric model that gets 120 miles to a charge. Both hit 85 miles per hour and corner with the stability of a four-wheeled car. Electric, $26,500; hybrid, $29,500; aptera.com
