Top 10 Cars at Detroit Auto Show
By Chuck Tannert
This is the list you’ve been waiting for. Forget the overviews of the best or worst dressed celebs at the Golden Globes. That’s kid stuff. Here, we give you our picks for the top 10 cars — ranging from on-the-way production models to pie-in-the-sky concepts — from the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. While the mood might be somber here in Motown, there is impressive metal to see. These are our favorites, in alphabetical order.
I PICKED SOME.
1)Cadillac Converj
If this sexy looking coupe is any indication, GM’s luxury brand is hot-to-trot in the race for zero emissions. Like the Chevy Volt, which is due to go into production by the end of 2010, the Converj is an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), which means it will be equipped with an electric motor as well as a gasoline engine. The electric motor provides primary propulsion, while the gas-powered engine acts as a generator to recharge the vehicle’s batteries. Plus, it’s super sexy. Just look at it.

2)Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO Concept
The three cars that make up the BlueZero lineup could represent a monumental culture shift for the luxury carmaker. The BlueZERO E-Cell is a plug-in electric vehicle that can drive around 125 miles on a single charge. The BlueZERO E-Cell Plus adds a small 3-cylinder gasoline engine and has a range of more than 370 miles, while the BlueZERO F-Cell has a fuel cell that converts compressed hydrogen into electricity. It can drive 350 emissions-free miles on one tank of gaseous hydrogen.

3)Volvo S60 Concept
Though packed with lots of design features — such as a floating center console made of solid Orrefors crystal — that probably won’t make it to the production model, this new “sport” sedan provides a look into the Swedish automaker’s future. The front is unmistakably Volvo, with an enlarged, trapezoidal grille flanked by sweeping LED headlights. Beneath the sculpted hood is a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDi) engine that produces 180 horsepower and is expected to achieve 47 mpg on the highway and emit just 0.42 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile.
