Driving at the Green Cars & Drive at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show

Posted November 20 2008 02:29 PM by Joel Arellano 
Filed under: Auto Shows, Hybrid

One of the so-called "perks" for journalists at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show was to test drive several "green" vehicles and report our impressions.



The list is long: more than ten auto manufacturers contributed over twenty vehicles. I drove the 2009 BMW 3-Series diesel; 2010 Mercury Mariner Hybrid; the Honda FCX Clarity; and the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. I was scheduled to test the all-new MINI E but encountered German hospitality (hostility?) by being late.

Reviews to follow.
