Paris restrictions
Paris may say "non!" to SUVs. The City of Light is planning to test restrictions on gas-guzzling vehicles, likely including SUVs and old diesel cars, as part of attempts to curb pollution. Many other European cities, including London and Berlin, already have "low emission zones," with varying restrictions on the type of vehicles targeted.

Volt goals
General Motors is looking to at least triple the company's target for electric-car sales by expanding the market for the Chevrolet Volt (shown at right) and adding models that would share similar technology. The previous goal was to sell 10,000 Volts in 2011 and 45,000 in 2012. The boost would spread out the cost of developing electric technology across more vehicles.
