Hybrid hype in Detroit

Here in the Motor City we scoff at dipping temperatures to happily partake in the sizzling excitement of the year's biggest event - the North American International Auto Show. And this year, there's even more reason to bundle up and heading downtown. It seems that in the wake of rising CAFE standards and the cool factor of all things eco, the auto show has adopted the slogan, "Go green or go home," peddling various plug-in hybrids, diesel engines and promising electric concept cars.

As an auto show press veteran, I can't help but closely follow the dazzling unveilings. I'll be updating on all things green as the show progresses. After all, the only thing better than an old-fashioned road trip is one in a fuel-effecient ride. Stay tuned.
