Last weekend, we had the opportunity to attend the annual Washington DC Auto Show. It was no surprise that a big part of the showroom floor was taken by the current and upcoming lineup of cars with green or greener technology. While this auto show is not known to be the first place that car constructors unveil their newest designs (that honor is usually reserved for Detroit and L.A.), there was nonetheless a very strong showing in alternative fuel and hybrid-electric models. The environmental benefits of hybrid vehicles versus "clean diesel" technology seems confusing, consider the fact that the 2010 "Green Car of the Year" is the Audi A3 TDI, competing against such vehicles as the Honda Insight hybrid, the Mercury Milan Hybrid, and the Toyota Prius.
