Has anyone seen BMW's "turbosteamer" technology? Have a look at http://www.gizmag.com/go/4936/ - more power and better fuel economy... seems like a winner to me...

Takes a while before that comes into production,
but nevertheless great engineering.
I think BMW will introduce hybrids before that.
Also twin-turbo charged direct injection gasoline engines will be introduced soon,
as well as DI engines without the turbo(s).
