An understated way to go green, the Infinit M35h is a great way to make a statement while still driving a luxury sedan under the radar.

The Lexus GS 450h is all-new for 2013 with more aggressive styling and sportier driving dynamics.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTec offers hybrid like fuel efficiency with the monstrous torque that only a diesel engine can provide.

The base BMW 5-Series now features a turbo four-cylinder, and a new hybrid model is on the way.

8.6 The 2012 Infiniti M35h hybrid shows that a green pick can still be a lot of fun to drive.	8.2 It's not one of Toyota's most efficient hybrids, but the Lexus GS 450h does give luxury shoppers an option in the mid-size segment.	8.6 The 2012 BMW 5-Series appears somewhat conservative on the outside, but it packs an armada of advanced-tech firepower, and new fuel-efficient engines, without interrupting its sport-sedan mission.	8.2 The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E Class models have sharper driving appeal than in the past, while also returning to the classy interior appointments and vault-like construction that have made them longtime luxury benchmarks.
