If you're tired of the current trend of crossover SUVs and yearn for something a bit classier, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee ($TBA) is the vehicle for you. Aggressive styling and a scalloped design pairs with a flex-fuel "Phoenix" V6 with variable valve timing and 280 horses, a 33% bump over the previous model (a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is also available). For the purists among you, rest easy: the GC is still suitable for off-roading. With a stiffened structure and a new powertrain, you'll be able to pick up the kids from school and go mudding on the way home.

It may remind you of a Tamagotchi, but the new Nissan Cube (from $13,990) is one of the best vehicles on the market — and we think it's the epitome of man-cute. (Think of man-cute like an iPod — not exactly a form inspired by razor blades, tattoos, and beer pong — but deeply rewarding and functional to use.) With its enthusiastic, "inspired by a bulldog wearing sunglasses" face and asymmetrical rear, at first glance the cube looks more like a punchline than a car. Its stats, too, are underwhelming: 122 horsepower 4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual or CVT gearbox, and fuel economy around 28 city, 32 highway mpg. A Chevy Cobalt will do better. But dig deeper, and you've got a contender.
Read on for coverage and photos from the Cube launch in Miami.

The 2010 Cadillac SRX ($TBA) is the, uh, Cadillac of crossovers.

The next-generation SRX is said to achieve "excellent driving dynamics and wet-weather traction," and appears to be just the right size for those wanting a non-car, non-SUV luxury vehicle.

If you're looking for a way to set up camp in the middle of post-apocalyptic New Jersey, check out EarthRoamer Xpedition Vehicles ($110,000-$230,000).

Get rid of the paper trail with the NeatDesk ($400). This compact ADF (automatic document feeder) scanner helps you declutter your desk and empty your filing cabinet, leaving more room for important stuff. Like snacks. With one-button scanning, the NeatDesk scans up to 10 receipts, 10 business cards and 10 documents at once (or a single 50 page document), and then organizes the copies and extracts the info for digital use. You can scan in a stack of business cards and populate your address book, or scan in a pile of receipts to auto-track your expenses (export to Quicken, Excel or Quickbooks), or scan in a document and turn it into a searchable PDF. The auto-organization and character recognition technology worked surprisingly well on the Mac unit we've been testing, and is going to make next year's IRS holiday a little easier to deal with. With versions available for Mac OS X and Windows, you'll be able to organize your office no matter if you're a Mac or PC.
