Frankfurt video round up: Bob Lutz, Rick Wagoner, the New New Bettle?
Filed under: Emerging Technologies, EV/Plug-in, GM, Volkswagen, Frankfurt Motor Show
Welcome to the third AutoblogGreen video round up! Like all the video round ups so far, this one is all about the Frankfurt Auto Show. The video above is Bob Lutz introducing the Opel Flextreme concept. Someone in the Opel video says the emissions from the engine will be constant, which seems to fix complaints of the series hybrid model. Has GM solved the problem of engines warming up?
Below the fold is a video tour of the Frankfurt show floor with a look at most of the new green cars. Included in that video is the VW Up! which the tour guide says could be VW's next iconic car like the VW Bug. Also below the fold is another video tour from the show with a quick shot of Rick Wagoner talking green. This year's IAA was all about green cars, and we've got the video to prove it.

A BMW One, with bio-diesel, 50-60mpg, that would be Iconic.

If Mr. Lutz produces the Opel this would truely be a turning point.
Oil is fungible, until it isn't.
If every car in the U.S.A. is a hybrid or we required it to be, then the price of oil doesn't matter. This could be a huge turning point.
