GM Invites Bloggers to Auto Show
GM has reached out to include bloggers at the NAIAS (Detroit Auto Show), letting them know that they are aware of people’s concern for the environment. They also explain how they are trying to make vehicles more environmentally friendly. This shows that they do understand the importance of the blogosphere, their influence and opinions.
- Matt Keegan from The Auto Writer was one of the bloggers selected to attend the Detroit Auto Show and was also there for their 2008 press preview. Over the next several days, he will be sharing his behind the scenes discoveries with some videos included.
Matt also had the privilege of interviewing the auto industry icon Robert A. Lutz among others and you can read about that on his “Interview with Bob Lutz” post on the Auto Writer. Bob Lutz has had a large hand in the Chevy Volt, which is of the most anticipated vehicles being featured at the NAIAS. The Volt is a plug in that will run for 40 miles on a charge so theoretically you would never have to use gasoline.

Sandra, thank you so much for sharing this important bit of information. GM and other automakers are committed to reducing global dependency on fossil fuels with cellusosic ethanol, electric batteries and cleaner diesels coming to the market. I learned a lot while I was in Detroit, information I will continue to share on my blog.

Matt, that sounds wonderful and I look forward to learning and reading more from you. Getting away from gasoline is the way to go.
