General Motors and the Environmental Protection Agency have in fact started a squabble over what in fact is GM’s forthcoming plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt? This argument will determine whether the Volt gets a jaw-dropping EPA rating of over 100 mpg which will make it the most fuel-competent car sold by a chief automaker or will it just be another Prius-like 48 mpg.

General Motors considers their Chevy Volt as an electric car where as the EPA wants to classify it as a hybrid.
PC Magazine explicates, “Its drive train is entirely electric, since the companion gas engine powers a generator, not the car itself. The Volt is not a hybrid in the usual sense, in other words. GM claims it can run 40 miles before the gas engine even kicks in.”
The car applies its batteries to render most of its ability, setting off the electric generator only when they are exhausted to a certain point. The car is so planned that it arrives to its destination at approximately 30%-35% of the battery’s status of charge.

For hybrid cars like these, you will receive a  nice discount on your insurance for your cars in many states.

The Toyota Prius is one of the “greenest” vehicles of the year. Chevy’s Cobalt coupe gives 33 miles per gallon. An economical threesome the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa each average better than 25 miles per gallon, and start at less than $15,000.
Americans definitely want to squeeze pennies at the pump, particularly with gas touching $4 per gallon and the market becoming soft. But this does not mean they will give up the joy of motoring. Thus while others prefer cars that are merely fuel-efficient, we prefer cars that are proficient and muscular both.

Hyundai is to display a petrol-electric (hybrid) Sonata saloon at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

The auto will have new-generation lithium-ion batteries, and be established on the face lifted on 2009 version of the Sonata. Nevertheless, production will be starting only by 2010.
Hyundai is not importing the face lifted Sonata to the UK because it has sold only in small numbers. As an alternative, it is waiting for its all-new large family-sized model, to be called i40. This comes to Europe in late 2010, and will be totally different to the US-market Sonata.

Hyundai is scheduling a Mondeo/Vectra-type series and, though a saloon will still be accessible, the company anticipates the best-seller in the line-up to be an estate.

Honda is working on their newest generation hybrid cars. Well the spy photographers of the website Roadandtrack spotted the next generation of the Honda hybrid in the Southwest desert doing some performing hot-weather testing.

The new Honda looks a lot on the Toyota Prius. Although the Honda is heavily camouflaged, you can see a lot of their design. The design of this 2010 Honda is highly influenced by the shape that looks a lot on the Toyota Prius.

Here some nice photo’s of this spotted ride.

Today we saw a nice article on the website of CarFuelOptions about the BMW Hydrogen7 series.
This is a nice luxury car, that isn’t for sale yet. BMW is currently testing this ride to see how it acts, and if there are any problems by using Hydrogen for their new generation BMW cars.

Well we searched for some nice images of this  great BMW 7 Series that rides on Hydrogen. And here they are.
