We asked Brian Moody, <a href="http://www.edmunds.com/index.html">Edmunds.com's</a> road test editor, to help us round up 10 significant fuel-gentle cars that should be coming out in the next year. Although this list is by no means exhaustive and release dates are "fuzzy," Brian takes us on a quick tour of the vehicles that might be worth waiting for if you're looking for alternatives to gas-guzzlers in around a one-year time frame.<br>

<b><a href="http://topics.latimes.com/autos/ford">Ford</a> Fusion Hybrid</b><br>
This is in the works to be announced toward the end of the year, but it might be available very soon after that. Brian thinks this is a smart idea coming from Ford. "What's cool about a Ford hybrid sedan is that it gives people who need a sedan a domestic hybrid choice.You can expect the fuel economy to be close to the Escape Hybrid -- around 34/36 combined city and highway."<br>
