BMW ActiveHybrid 7: No longer a concept, BMW is presenting the production version of its gasoline-electric hybrid 7-Series, which is set to go on sale in Spring next year in both standard and long-wheelbase versions. Official EPA ratings will be available closer to market launch but initial estimates put it at 15% better than the similarly powerful 750i.

Audi R8 e-Tron: Audi's foray into the electric car arena takes supercar form with one of the best-handling and most attractive platforms in the group as its basis. Official details are finally out, including the car's monstrous 3,300 pound-feet of torque, and the photos reveal a futuristic, but still very R8-looking electric car. And sorry, despite the name, there are no light cycles in the trunk.

Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion: One of those cars we can only dream of--for now—the 2010 Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion offers generous seating for five adults yet promises a hybrid-like fuel economy of 54 mpg from its advanced 1.6-liter common rail diesel engine. Joining the Passat in Frankfurt will be the BlueMotion versions of the Golf and Polo hatchbacks as well.
