Just a month ago, it was unclear whether the American auto 1 industry would survive, but thanks to a federal bailout, the industry this week is able to look to the future and the cars that could help drive it into better days. CNBC's Phil Lebeau was at Detroit Auto Show with more. Hello, Phil.
Hi, Lester, and the theme of the show this year, fuel efficiency and electric cars. On the fuel efficiency front the Ford 2 Fusion 3 Hybrid 4 gets 41 miles to a gallon. This is gonna be serious competition for the Toyota Prius. On the electric car front, check this out. This is the Cadillac Converj and it has the same technology in it as the Chevy Volt 5 which means it's gonna be all－electric. In fact, it even added solar pan... panels. You can't see on the roof, but that's one indication of how futuristic this vehicle will be. But in terms of futuristic, you have to check out the cockpit here, Lester. The inside of it looks like something out of Knight 6 Rider. This is gonna be a completely electric car. They're not saying whether or not will be built, but the odds 7 are probably somewhere in the 2012 - 2013 range, and speaking of future electric cars, check this out. This is from a Chinese automaker. BYD is the automaker. This is their E6. They plan to sell this electric mini van in the United States in 2011, price tag -- somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 dollars. If they bring it here, Lester, this will be the first Chinese automobile 8 sold in the United States, and if it is priced at 30,000 to 40,000, it's gonna have serious implications for the domestic automakers when it comes to electric vehicles. Overall though, Lester, when you walk around this floor, the somber 9 tone is much more subdued 10 than in past years. No extravagant 11 parties. The productions for unveiling vehicles toned down considerably 12. And that's understandable given the state of the auto industry.
All right, Phil Lebeau, thanks for the tour, appreciated it.
