CNET SLIDE SHOW: Chicago Auto Show
Chicago Auto Show: hybrids on parade
The Chicago Auto Show is physically the largest auto show in the United States, with 1.2 million square feet of exhibit space. The show floor was home to 48 auto manufacturers showing off their latest productions and concept-car technology. But we were mostly impressed by the way this show put the range of hybrid-car choices into perspective.


Slide 2 of 11
A hybrid truck?
GM has begun offering its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups as hybrids. In this application, the gas engine shuts down whenever the truck is idling, coasting, or coming to a stop. Then when you tap the accelerator, the electric motor jump-starts the gas engine in a fraction of a second.
