January is the month of the annual Detroit Auto Show (the biggest auto show is North America)! Despite the fact that some automakers are grappling with bankruptcy this year, all of the automakers arrived in style last week. Though the mood was less celebratory than usual, each company was ready to show off its latest models—these included a variety of hybrid and electric vehicles. The NY Times reported that this competition between companies to establish “green and electric credentials” is a new phenomenon given that the Detroit Auto Show is usually simply “the high temple of brute horsepower”.
