But made for the "buzz" a nice pool and the world automobile industry in one of the events of the Prime Minister and the North American International Auto Show, with cars powered by gas and electricity, and even "plug-in" electric cars for anger.

It was enough to make one think about, in an era of global warming worries and oil $ 60 a barrel, the gasoline combustion engine was on the way out.
The Japanese auto giant Toyota Motor Corp., a leader in hybrids, it expects to sell up to 300,000 of the eco-friendly cars this year in the United States, up from 191,000 in 2006.

The only glint of Toyota with American consumers as a source of quality and innovation - models, mainly popular Prius but also now a few Camrys - the best-selling car in America, nine of the past 10 years.
The reputation of a new high at the end of 2006, with Toyota sales in the United States with Chrysler for the first time, knocking him out of the top three since a long time - General Motors, Ford and Daimler Chrysler, Chrysler Group.
Toyota now expects to pass Ford in U.S. sales this year and in GM's global sales, and end the reign of General Motors more than 80 years of automotive industry in the world.
But GM may not be dead yet - if electric shock treatments have anything to do with it.
In Detroit, GM revived the idea once and failed to mass market electric car, and unveiled a new "concept" car called the Volt designed to use little or no gasoline.
GM had been killed in the earlier model, the EV1, in 2003, drawing the wrath of "green", and said in the movie 2006, "Who Killed the Electric Car?"

But executives at General Motors Sunday, Chevrolet Volt will draw power exclusively from the battery recharged by a small engine in the car - if the technology is ready in two or three years.
"We have a concept of a comprehensive study," said Jon Lauckner, GM vice president for product development.

"It will create a stir," said Mike Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of AutoNation, the largest agency of the Global Auto Group. "Something like Volt shocks people who say: I really did not expect this from General Motors."
Jackson said a product such as the Volt would also make consumers take a second look at other vehicles in GM's line-up.
GM said Bob Lutz, Chairman of the product will have to revise their thinking critics on GM's commitment to environmental concerns and U.S. dependence on oil imports after seeing the Volt.
