Toyota Preps Hybrid MR2; But are Diesels Better? Revving Saturn's Redline; GM Europe, Mitsubishi Still Works in Progress; Spy Shots of Next Impala SS, Mercedes M- and S-Class and Official A-Class Shots; LA Auto Show Moves and More on TheCarConnection.com

DETROIT, June 21 -- Toyota is getting ready to roll out hybrid versions of its entire line-up, TheCarConnection.com reports in this week's issue, and that even includes a gasoline/electric version of its 2-seat MR2 sports car. Get the complete story in the latest issue at http://www.thecarconnection.com/ .

But with even hybrid fanatics admitting the technology doesn't deliver near the mileage promised, is there a better alternative? TheCarConnection compares diesels to HEVs -- and readers may be surprised by the results.

General Motors and Mitsubishi are both going through changes -- but the situation's much more dire in Tokyo. This week, TCC reports on how GM's reorganization in Europe should help it cut costs -- and why the latest plan to save Mitsubishi is still a work in progress.

Get a triple dose of spy shots this week, starting with the next Chevrolet Impala SS, then adding in two from Mercedes-Benz, the next M-Class and S- Class.

And in TCC's award-winning Daily Edition, get the first official look at the all-new Mercedes A-Class. And in Daily, you'll learn that in an effort to remain one of the world's most important auto shows, Los Angeles is shifting to November.

Step inside the GM Heritage Center for a look at history.

Then put Saturn's hot new Red Line Vue to the test. And see why the new XRS doesn't drive like every other Toyota Corolla.

And see why TCC's resident curmudgeon, Jerry Flint, thinks Toyota's on the wrong track with its youth-oriented Scion brand.
