The LS600 and 3 series drop are the only ones I'm anticipating on that list. Don't plan to buy that Bimmer but it does look good. The yuppies and boy racers will be thrilled.

from the article... "The Altima hybrid will be powered by the same 158-horsepower 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine as the base non-hybrid Altima but with assistance from a 40-horsepower electric motor. It will have a continuously variable automatic transmission"

bad info here -- the Altima's base engine is a 175hp 2.5 liter
