"Large, luxurious sedans \u2014 a vehicle type synonymous with Mercedes-Benz \u2014 have not been historically the most fuel-efficient of vehicles. But that will soon change with the new Mercedes 4-door that bowed at the L.A. show, the S400 Bluetec Hybrid.   Expected to arrive in U.S. dealer showrooms in 2010, the S400 combines one of the German company&amp;#039;s Bluetec V-6 diesel engines with a 20-horsepower electric motor for a hybrid drivetrain that offers &amp;quot;the performance of a V-8 with the fuel economy of a 4-cylinder,&amp;quot; says the company. The marriage yields performance figures of 265 bhp and a full 465 lb.-ft. of torque and is said to help the Teutonic heavyweight earn an impressive 0\u201360-mph time of only 7.2 seconds \u2014 while attaining 40.5 mpg on the highway. What&amp;#039;s more, the S400&amp;#039;s diesel-hybrid drivetrain will be compliant with emissions regulations in all 50 states upon its rollout in a couple years&amp;#039; time.
