FOR MORE AUTO SHOW VIDEOS & NEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Volkswagen Concept BlueSport. Volkswagen’s latest concept car will reach 60 mph in 6.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 140 mph. With specs like that, most Americans would be surprised to learn that it also runs on diesel fuel and can return highway fuel economy of up to 50 miles per gallon. Developed for “maximum driving fun and minimal fuel consumption,” the lightweight, 180-horsepower Concept BlueSport demonstrates how mean and green can be perfect partners. Combining the low-end torque of a 300-horsepower V6, a six-speed DSG transmission and 45:55 front:rear weight distribution, the compact, mid-engine, rear-drive roadster promises big fun. On the economy front, the BlueSport steals a couple tricks from the hybrid playbook, employing an automatic start-stop system and regenerative braking. In its quest to happily unite agility and frugality, it also foregoes a folding hardtop in favor of a lighter, manually operated cloth roof.

FOR MORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com Toyota Plug-in Hybrids. 2010 Toyota Prius. Some will tell you that plug-in hybrids are the answer to the twin problems of global climate change and our reliance on foreign sources of oil. Since plug-ins can operate for substantial distances without the use of gasoline, they turn in phenomenal miles-per-gallon figures and when operating in electric mode they produce no carbon dioxide emissions and virtually no other emissions, for that matter. Despite this, no major vehicle manufacturer has yet brought a plug-in hybrid to market, though some – notably General Motors and Toyota – have announced plans to do so in the relatively near future. Recently we sat down with Toyota hybrid expert Jaycie Chitwood to get a better understanding of the real benefits plug-ins will bring, what the technical challenges are in building and owning plug-ins and, importantly, what they will cost.
