She got the lowdown on the sexiest new hybrid vehicle from Lexus as well as a sneak peek at Volkswagen’s upcoming Jetta Hybrid and the E-Bugster electric Beetle concept. She also took an inside look at the quirky styling of Smart’s For-US electric pickup truck and the brand new Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, which is sure to be a consumer favorite when it hits the streets this year.

It’s inspiring to see such a sea change in the auto industry – can’t wait to see some of these vehicles hit the streets!
Nice video.
I love the Bugster. Super cute, yet has a Porsche-like appeal to it.
That Lexus is seriously HOT. Great coverage guys, the Detroit Auto show is quickly becoming one of my favorite events!
Great video! Jill, I expect a ride in your electric mustang whenever that day comes!
Nice!
