The A3 TDI clean diesel may have gotten a pass from the Green Police in Audi's Super Bowl ad, but T3 Series Electric Stand-up Vehicles -- those three-wheeled devices the Green Police themselves were driving -- got more air time. They're in use at the Port of Seattle and are mainly used as security vehicles. See them in action at youtube.com/user/greenpolice.

Mini SUV
Who says an SUV has to be huge? Mini's upcoming Countryman, a four-door, all-wheel-drive, ruggedly styled small SUV is based on the basic Mini Cooper, with fuel-economy numbers expected to be well north of 30 mpg. It debuts next month at the Geneva motor show.

Too bad the MINI SUV will also likely have a price well North of $30,000 US Dollars when it debuts here.
The prices of autos need to do what housing is still correcting. DROP from anywhere from 15% - 35%.
Unitl that happens, New car sales will be sluggish and Used car sales will become more and more popular. Used car prices also need to come down.
