For Your Green: The SEXY FIsker Karma Hybrid Sedan

Photobucket
This by far is the sexiest green machine out there. The company Fisker is not known by the general public because it started as a company who just redesigned BMW's and Mercedes-Benz's. 
The company had created a concept car several years ago showing a very sexy and futuristic hybrid electric plug-in sedan for larger production numbers. The production model of the car looks very much like the concept, and its cheap for its portfolio ($87,000.)

The company ,a few weeks back, had released the production photos and it looks spectacular. Some of the Specs are a 22.6 kilowatt electric motor next to a 2.0 liter turbo 4-cylinder engine combined to make about 400 Horsepower! It should go 0-60 mph in about 5.8 seconds and top out at 125 mph. Thats one fast hybrid. It comes out late 2010.

Big 3 NOT TO Get Government Loans of $14 Billion

Photobucket

After being denied the 25 billion dollars that they requested from the 700 billion dollar bailout plan, the senate proposed 14 billion dollars in government loans. 
A massive amount of opinions came in once the public had learned that they were denied the money and believed that we shouldn't allow the biggest industry to fail. So congress is letting them slip by with the cash as long as they totally reinvent themselves in a couple years. This means they will be under strict review from the government in how they are to spend the funds they are getting.
The auto industry for America is now in serious jeopardy....
