Ongoing Live Coverage of the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

The Frankfurt auto show is back and it looks like the first really healthy auto show of the 2009 season. Cars like the Mercedes-Benz SLS, Audi R8 Spyder, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept, Ferrari 458 Italia, Jaguar XJ, Maserati GranCabrio, Rolls-Royce Ghost, and a slew of Porsche 911 models will be seen for the first time at this year's show. There's an emphasis on green cars, but there are still a lot of powerful cars on display here that will satisfy enthusiasts.

Automobile Magazine has its team of expert editors in Germany for the show's press days, which begin September 15th. Take a look at our extensive preview of the show and be sure to return for ongoing live coverage of the show all this week. All of the big reveals happen on September 15th, but we'll be at the show both days looking for executives to interview and digging for some news outside of the traditional press conferences.more

Top Five Dare-to-be-Different Green Cars

A couple years back, the New York Times ran a front-page story on the Toyota Prius, then America's best-selling hybrid vehicle. In typically thorough fashion, the Gray Lady took a long, hard look at the green-machine cult, aiming to discover what makes hybrid owners tick.

For the astute car nut, the conclusions the paper drew were anything but surprising: As it turns out, the number-one reason people buy Priuses isn't fuel economy. It's image. The Times article referenced a survey conducted by CNW Market Research of Bandon, Oregon, in which 57 percent of Prius owners admitted that they bought their cars because "it makes a statement about me." A mere 36 percent cited superior fuel mileage as their main motivator. Enthusiasm and behind-the-wheel fun didn't even make the list. Nor did the notion of standing out from the crowd.more
