Land Rover LRX Concept
Before being purchased by the Indian conglomerate Tata, Land Rover created this - the LRX Concept. Not just another consumptive SUV, the LRX is a two-door that gathers vitality from both diesel fuel and electricity. Few diesels are offered in North America, fewer still in sports-utility guise. Consumer concerns over high(er) diesel fuel prices, due to global demand, are outweighed by fuel economy benefits.

The first annual Pure Air Festival for electric car owners
This event took place on May 3 in Seattle, Washington. Developed as a way to honor electric car owners who have successfully shifted from a combustion engine-equipped vehicle to a zero-emission vehicle, the inaugural Pure Air Festival turned out to be fairly modest. Barely 100 owners were on hand to take part in the action and educate other drivers on the benefits of going green sooner rather than later. Among them were about 50 owners of Zenn cars, including family members and friends.

So when a manufacturer decides to organize an event that allows the buying public to do just that, they have to be pretty confident that their product is the best.
