ULEV II aka LEV II ULEV (Ultra Low Emission Vehicle)
ULEV II takes a firm step toward still cleaner emissions. Strap on a car in this class--there were more than 100 different ULEV models made in 2006, from BMW wagons to any number of Volvos--and you'll be cruising pretty clean. A ULEV II car puts out half the carbon monoxide of LEV II--38 pounds per year. ULEV II cars must meet or beat this standard for the first 50,000 miles.

2007 BMW 328xi Sedan |
The bottom line: We found the 2007 BMW 328xi more at home driving twisty mountain roads than in mall parking lots. Its interior quality may tempt drivers looking for a luxury ride, but only sport drivers should consider this car. |

2006 Volvo C70
|
The bottom line: Not the most practical car, the 2006 Volvo C70 looks very stylish with the top
down or up, and its audio system is among the best we've heard. The navigation
system isn't a very worthwhile option, since it usually can't be seen because
of glare, and this car is not for the driving enthusiast. |
