Detroit Motor show is a paradise for car-lovers ... even for those who aren’t so into the details, it’s interesting and overwhelming.

The show opened its doors this week and the theme this year is environmentally related; Green cars that reduce emission. With the problems of global warming that’s where the spotlight should be.

All car makers this year have been clear about working on clean diesel, hybrid and flex-fuel versions of their SUVs and trucks. That’s good news.

So, it’s going to be difficult job for carmakers and sellers in 2008!
