November 26th, 2009 | by Eric Moretti
BMW recently announced pricing for its ActiveHybrid X6, but they aren’t done just yet. In addition to the 480-hp crossover, BMW is bringing its ActiveHybrid 7, and Vision EfficientDynamics concept car. As you might have guessed the ActiveHybrid 7 is a hybrid 7-series. The hybrid 7 features a twin-turbo “High Precision Direct Injected” V8 with a 3-phase electric motor that gives the eco-luxury ride a total combined output of 455 hp and 515 lb-ft of torque. Along with the 8-speed automatic transmission the ActiveHybrid 7 gets 15-17% better gas mileage. According to our calculations, that translates to about 26 mpg.

Cadillac wanted to extend their Art and Science design philosophy and the CTS brand with the Coupe, which now sits along the CTS Wagon as well. Naturally, the base engine is GM's potent 304-hp V6 which gets 27 mpg on the highway. Much to drivers delight the Coupe will be available with a 6-speed manual in both RWD and AWD versions. However, if you're part of the camp that doesn't prefer to row for yourself there will be a 6-speed automatic as well. Other desirable options include a "Performance Package with 18-inch wheels and all-season tires (available in both RWD and AWD,)" or the " the Summer Tire Performance Package, with 19-inch tires and wheels and a higher level of road holding capability. StabiliTrak, the advanced electronic chassis control system, is standard." The base Caddy is no slouch in the handling department featuring Independent SLA front suspension, a multi-link rear suspension and a limited-slip differential. It's no wonder why Cadillac is different the Recaro seats in the base coupe. Click past the break for slew of photographs, full specifications, and the official press release
