Forty miles per gallon on the highway appears to be the new benchmark, or so the freshman class of 2012 would have you believe. Affordable mainstays like the Honda Civic, Ford Focus and Hyundai Accent have been redesigned, and all three attain EPA highway ratings of around 40 mpg. Not to be left behind, Mazda is revamping its popular Mazda3 for 2012 to hit near the 40-mpg mark, while Subaru's redesigned Impreza will get an estimated 36 mpg highway. That's impressive, given the car's standard all-wheel drive. Other introductions run the gamut, from the second generation of Volkswagen's iconic Beetle to Chevrolet's new entry-level car, the Sonic. Luxury shoppers can check out Mercedes' redesigned CLS-Class sedan and SLK-Class roadster, as well as BMW's latest 6 Series. You'll also see an Italian brand stage a comeback after nearly three decades gone: Now partnered with Chrysler, Fiat returns to the U.S. market with a Mini-like hatchback, the 500.
