FLASHES OF YOUTH UNDER A GREEN CLOUD

摘要

Yes, there were more than fifty new products on display at the 2008 North American International Auto show, but that does not mean it was a benchmark show; it was in fact perhaps the least interesting Detroit show in the last twenty years. It was operating under a "green" cloud, with even Ferrari showing up with a ridiculous set of green spark plug wires on a display engine to show that its heart is in the right place, however much CO{sub}2 its engines may spew. That you can run some ethanol in a Ferrari should not be news. Presumably that has been possible in Brazil for years.
