        Hybrids are all the buzz, but most are small cars with mega-mileage numbers. General Motors, however, has developed hybrid versions of its full-size SUVs. One, the Cadillac Escalade, is the only full-size luxury hybrid on the market.

        The Chevy Cobalt SS sedan will be a hit with performance buffs because it delivers tons of fun at a reasonable price. I, on the other hand, like it for another reason: The turbocharged engine has gobs of low-end torque, the suspension is a great compromise between ride and handling, and the sports seats fit just right.

        Volkswagen is embracing high style with the CC, a sleek-looking four-door based on the Passat sedan. CC stands for Comfort Coupe.

        The first-generation Honda Fit was a sensation because it was fun to drive and packaged a lot of space in a tiny footprint. Three years later the 2009 arrives and it is even more impressive. Not only does it have more expressive styling but it&amp;rsquo;s slightly larger size is better at swallowing people and things.

        Green is the hot color as automakers strive to develop cars that use little, if any, fossil fuel, and BMW plans to unveil its contender, the Mini E, on Nov. 19 during the press preview days for the Los Angeles Auto Show. The show is open to the public Nov. 21-30.

        While the second-generation Mini Cooper has been on the market for some time, the 2008 convertible is based on the first-generation car. That will change soon as BMW, owner of the Mini brand, moves convertible production to the new platform for 2009.

        The compact Mercury Mariner is the less-visible sibling to the Ford Escape, but it&amp;rsquo;s a vehicle worth noting, particularly now that it has a new four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
