The 2008 Detroit Auto Show is opening up to the public on Saturday and the media previews were chock full of announcements of new flex-fuel and diesel vehicles. The flex-fuel reveals ran the gamut from the wild race car based concepts like the Mazda Furai with it's ethanol fueled rotary to the soon to enter production Saab 9-4x. On the diesel side, BMW showed the upcoming 335d and X5 xDrive35d while Subaru didn't show anything but did discuss their U.S. diesel plans. Kia and Acura both showed the new diesels they will be installing in their cars in 2009 and 2010. The video team at DieselForecast and GreenFuelsForecast put together a couple of videos with all the highlights that you can check out after the jump.
