There's really nothing better these days than a car that looks slick and is good for the environment as well. That's the perfect way to describe the BMW Hydrogen 7. This luxury sedan was originally released in late 2006, and what was special about it was it's ability to run on gas and hydrogen. The original car had two gas tanks; one that held 30 gallons of -253° Centigrade liquid hydrogen and another that held 19.5 gallons of regular old gasoline. It sounds great, considering it uses less gas than hydrogen, but there was one huge downside; the hydrogen tank would only get you about 125 miles, while the gas tank could take you 310 more. So much for being environmentally conscious!

But thankfully BMW is taking this idea and improving upon it. The new Hydrogen 7 will be completely free of a gas tank. Yes, you read that right; and no, you won't be stuck on the freeway in rush hour after going only 125 miles. BMW is already saying this new and improved version of the car will have a higher level of performance. In other words, you'll hopefully be able to get where you're going and back again.

Look for this ride to make it's debut at the 2008 National Hydrogen Association Conference and the 2008 SAE World Congress in April. If it's a success, this is one auto that deserves some serious looking into. Not only will it save you mucho money at the pump, but you'll also be riding in style while doing something great for the earth. And that's always hot.

Fall is just around the corner, which means a slew of new shows will be hitting your TV screen. But exactly what should the male viewer be tuning in to? Probably not Cashmere Mafia or Lipstick Jungle! Here's a list of some of the most promising new shows made with guys in mind.

K-Ville
Funny man Anthony Anderson takes a dramatic turn in this cop show with a twist. The show is set in and filmed in post Katrina New Orleans and focuses on Anderson's character, a rogue cop who will do anything to bring order to the area, even if it means bending the rules a little bit. This isn't your momma's NYPD Blue or Law & Order; K-Ville is grittier, but with an important social message.
Check it out Mondays on FOX, beginning 9/17

Big Shots
You don't actually have to admit to anyone that you've been longing for a male version of Desperate Housewives. But you can thank ABC for making it and putting it on the air. Big Shots is a soapy dramedy about four CEO's trying to balance their wives, their girlfriends, their mistresses and their families. And expect to see a few familiar faces, like ex Alias star Michael Vartan, playing the resident good guy, and Dylan McDermott as the group ringleader.
Check it out on ABC, beginning 9/27

The Bionic Woman
Yes, the show is about a woman. But more correctly, a hot woman kicking butt in tight clothing. Do I have your interest now? British beauty Michelle Ryan is bringing her sexy accent and awesome acting chops to NBC this fall. The Bionic Woman is a "reimagined" version of the 70s TV show of the same name. This time it chronicles a young woman who only lives through a car accident because her boyfriend chose to have parts of her body replaced with robotic parts. This gives her bionic strength, but also a debt to pay with the owners of the technology. Expect some pretty cool looking effects and even girl on girl fighting action.
Check it out Wednesdays on NBC, beginning 9/26

Chuck
Okay, how about something funny to lightening things up a little? Chuck is actually a comedic spy thriller, so you'll get your laughs and a dose of action all wrapped up in to one. The show is about a computer geek who accidently downloads top secret government information into his brain. I'm sure that will make more sense when the pilot actualy airs! But the important part is that Chuck must now dodge assasins and terrorist, along side his CIA partner, played by blonde hottie Yvonne Strzechowski. And look for another hottie, ex OC star Rachel Bilson, to join the cast later on in the season.

Check it out on NBC, Tuesdays beginning 9/24
