detroit auto show 2010
After a tumultuous year of poor sales, bankruptcies and the collapse of industry giants, the 2010 North American International Auto Show opens this week in Detroit. This year the buzz is all about electric cars -- hopefully a sign that things are looking up in Motor City. 
The Detroit Free Press explains: “Rebuilding in Detroit starts with cars, with sheet metal and engines, leather and plastics, and some new things, too: In-car technology like you've never seen before and more engines than ever powered by electricity instead of gasoline, or, more often, a combination of both.”Indeed, a number of electric-powered vehicles are set to debut at this year’s Detroit Auto Show as either concepts or cars slated for production. Among them are the highly-anticipated Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf -- which will be made available to consumers later this year.
According to the Seattle Times, electric versions of the Volvo C30, Fiat 500 and BMW 1-Series will also be present in Detroit this week. Just yesterday, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz announced that Cadillac will soon begin production on the electric-powered Converj -- which debuted as a concept vehicle at last year’s Detroit Auto Show.
