Sustainability on display at Auto Show

It would seem that automakers, especially European automakers, are making some efforts at their own green makeovers. I found this a few minutes ago courtesy of the NY Times. Key points in this one are that there are a lot of new hybrid options being discussed (at least for European consumers) some of the more interesting to me are the hybrid diesels. How nice would it be to have a hybrid car running on biodiesel. They do seem to be making huge strides in making diesel engines even cleaner and more efficient as well. Definitely a trend I am encouraged by. There is even a passing mention of a plug in hybrid. Very cool. I am a bit discouraged that there isn't a single mention of an electric car, but a plug in hybrid is a start at least in getting back to a full electric.
