New Cars of 2016: The Hottest Trends

{It's been|Novice|Coach anyone how to} in the news quite {a bit|a little|a lttle bit|somewhat} lately that 2015 {was the|was your} best year for American auto sales {ever|ever before|at any time}. The American auto industry, like so much of the manufacturing sector, was struggling {to stay|to remain|to be} alive less than a decade {ago|back|in the past}. Now, it has rebounded {to an|for an|to a} all-time high. {However|Nevertheless|On the other hand}, those statistics may be missing that 2015 was a great year for new cars {across the board|for all the models|regardles of the model}, with auto makers of every nation selling record or near-record quantities. Part of this boom was a return to some {semblance|bit of} of {economic|financial|economical|monetary} stability after the global recession of 2008, but it's also {attributable to|owing to|due to} an industry that is more {responsive to|attentive to|alert to} {its|the|their} consumers than ever. The adaptability and innovation of 2015 looks to continue at full speed in 2016 with these hot trends for new {cars|vehicles|automobiles}.

Safety {First|1st|Initial}

Safety has, of course, {always been|been} a major aspect of the industry. Now, however, {technological|technical|scientific} innovation {makes it easier|helps to ensure profound results} than {ever|ever before|at any time} to incorporate safety {without sacrificing|without having to sacrifice} the driver's enjoyment. {While|Whilst|Although} we are likely still {a few years|a couple of years|many years} from fully-automated {motor|engine|electric motor} vehicles, the technology on which it is predicated is already being {incorporated|integrated|included} into current models. {New|Fresh} cars in 2016 will {continue to|always|carry on and} push this {envelope|package|cover} with motion sensor technology that automatically decelerates or stops the car when impact is imminent. {Other|Additional|Various other} safety features {are designed to|are made to|are created to} take the driver into {account|accounts|bank account}. {For example ,|For instance ,} some manufacturers are outfitting their products with a "teen mode" that allows parents {to restrict|limit} the stereo use, as studies show a correlation between loud music and new drivers getting into {accidents|incidents|mishaps}. With teen mode, the kids will hopefully {focus|concentrate|emphasis} more {on the road|on the highway|traveling}.

Goodbye Gas Guzzlers

Expect fuel {economy|economic climate|overall economy} to keep improving. {Some|A few|Several} analysts might urge {caution|extreme caution|extreme care} on this point, {and it is|in fact it is} possible that the recent drastic fall in {gasoline|gas|fuel} prices could impact sales of new cars in the short term. {Still|Even now|Even so}, the time period for design, engineering, and {manufacturing|developing|making} doesn't really sync with short term dips and spikes in the {oil|fat|oil based} market. Add to that the fact that {climate|weather|environment} change is moving from the environmentalist edges to front and center of the international political {discussion|conversation|dialogue}. In the United {States|Says|Claims}, the National Highway {Traffic|Targeted traffic|Site visitors} Safety Administration {has worked|worked|did} with the EPA to {craft|art|build} Corporate Average {Fuel Economy|Gas efficiency} (CAFE) standards that require each automaker to hit average {miles per gallon|miles-per-gallon|mpg} goals across all models (within a given class i. e. {cars|vehicles|automobiles}, light trucks, heavy trucks). So while low gas prices might temporarily make gas guzzlers {more affordable|less expensive|cheaper}, the overall trend will continue towards fuel efficiency.
