L.A. Auto Show: Going Green

A better fuel economy is a reoccurring theme at the L.A. Auto Show this year. This is good news for messengers in Los Angeles. The different car manufacturers, including the luxury brands, are all showcasing their new ideas and innovations to go green and get you the best mileage. 

Here are some of the cars unveiled so far in the "green" category:




1. Ford Fusion - Green Car of the Year
The newly designed 2013 model offers 3 fuel efficient options: gas, hybrid and plug-in Energi.



2. Toyota Prius c
The Toyota Prius still dominates the hybrid market. They rolled out a smaller model, The Prius c, which gets an estimated 53 mpg, the highest of any non-electric vehicle on the market. It is also equipped with many tech-savvy features making it America's favorite hybrid.


3. BMW i3 Concept
This is a high-end electric car. It's projected range is about 100 miles. BMW offers home charging stations, apps that locate public charging stations and other forms of public transportation such as a new car-sharing service.



"The models getting attention in L.A. are diverse in price and style. They reflect the demands of consumers who spend an inordinate amount of time on the road and want better fuel efficiency without compromising performance, seamless digital connectivity and at least the promise of a car that runs on electricity and is fun to drive." 
- Joseph White of the Wall Street Journal

The L.A. Auto show is open now through December 19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Keep on Truckin'
