While the question of whether Boy George will be re-releasing his hit song as “Karma, Karma, Karma Conver-ti-bllllle” is left unanswered, Fisker has finally unveiled the new convertible version of the Karma.

Fisker Unveils New Karma-S Convertible at Detroit Auto Show
The Toyota Prius 2010 model was officially unveiled at the NAIS Detroit Auto Show this morning, though pictures of the car had been leaked a couple of months ago and confirmed by Toyota.
Along with a new design, which is much closer to the popular Corolla model, the Prius sees some other improvements as well. The greatest of those is an efficiency boost: up to 53mpg, by all reports. No EPA numbe
General Motors, not to be outdone by Chrysler's debut of the 200C at the Detroit Auto Show, wowed the audience with the unveiling of the new Cadillac Converj. This is an “extended range” PHEV with great luxury sports styling. It's a 2-door coupe and has a drive train very similar to the Volt, using the same E-Flex system.

The Smart Car called the “ED” (Electric Drive), made by Daimler, is gaining ground on the European market as a smart urban commuter. The name will be changed, since ED has other Viagra-related connotations for English-speakers, but the car will likely be the same. It's just a question of when this little EV hits the American market.

Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel has proposed to demolish about 2,350 derelict and abandoned homes in blighted neighborhoods using about half of the $47 million provided by the U.S. federal government to tackle its foreclosure problems. An estimated $8 million will be spent to repair certain vacant houses and about $4 million will be used to build new homes.
