This is one of the big one.s The Detroit Auto Show is the North American International Auto Show. The show begins next week and the early indications are that the theme most auto makers are going to bring is fuel-efficiency.
According to Automotive News, Ford will unveil the redesigned production Focus, and Honda will show the production version of the CR-Z hybrid hatchback. Toyota and Volkswagen will roll out hybrid concepts; Audi, BMW, and Fiat will display electric concepts.
Show organizers are arranging various electric cars, including one from China's BYD Auto, in a space on the show floor called Electric Avenue. But high performance will get its due. Judging by vehicles at the show, performance cars and econoboxes will coexist happily in the 2016 model year, when automakers must reach fleet averages of 35.5 mpg.
But Chrysler and partner Fiat are showing some concepts that explore their product planners' ideas for the next few years. They will show a concept version of the Lancia Delta mid-sized hatchback with a Chrysler grille. They also will show an electric concept of the Fiat 500 minicar.
So, your home insurance quote shouldn't hurt too much after you get these new 23424143 MPG cars next year.

2008 Detroit Auto Show: 'Did You Know that Cars Are the Most Recycled Product in America?'
Just getting back from Branson Missouri and settling in Detroit once again it is time to talk ab it about the Detroit Auto Show. One of the more interesting articles I have seen out there so far was this one about Automobile Recycling. It states that the most recycled product in America is the car.
The VRP Automotive Recycling Exhibit centers on the theme of "Did you know?" From that theme, scientists and engineers from Chrysler LLC, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation -- which comprise the VRP -- are delivering an impressive environmental message that is based on 16 years of collaborative efforts to increase the recyclability of automobiles and reduce their impact on the environment.
