When it comes to this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, UP! is down. Downsized that is, in the form of Volkswagen's pint-sized prototype car.

Lexus is... 
Consumer Reports, as part of this week's torrent of announcements from its Annual Auto Issue, named the 2010 Honda Fit and 2010 Toyota Prius the best new-car values of the year.

Unfortunately for Ford haters, we have even more good news from... 
It's hard to believe, but the 2010 Geneva Auto Show is already upon us: doors open to journalists next Tuesday, March 2, and the displays will remain on view for the public through March 14. We'll provide ongoing coverage of the unveilings, updates, concepts, and clunkers -- but of course, we know even that won't be enough for some of you... 
We've already seen two hybrids from BMW: the 2010 ActiveHybrid X6 "sport activity vehicle" and 2010 ActiveHybrid 7 full-size sedan. Now BMW's third hybrid model, which it has hinted at for several months, will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show. As a show car, its full name is the BMW Concept 5-Series ActiveHybrid. But in fact, it's a...
