1) 2010 Toyota Prius: A New Twist on an Old Hybrid Favorite

Toyota Prius
Base price: $23,500 (estimated*)
MPG: 51 city/ 48 highway
Arrival: Not disclosed. Analysts estimate April or May

Toyota added a little more power and several cutting-edge options to the latest version of its popular hybrid — without hiking the sticker price too much higher (the base price on last year's model was $22,000). You'll have to pay extra for the solar-paneled roof that runs interior cooling fans when the vehicle is parked in the sun and a park-assist feature that parks the car on its own. But you may be able to offset some of those extra costs with the money you'll save on gas (the Prius offers some of the best gas mileage around).
