Mercedes BlueZero, Tesla's Roadster, and the Chevy Volt at NAIAS

Well, as most of you have read, I went to the North American International Auto Show last weekend with a camera in hand and took pictures for you guys of the Mercedes BlueZero concept and the Tesla Roadster...



Been to the Auto Show, Pics of Mercedes Concept and Tesla Display

This weekend I went back, but this time I had a VIDEO camera! I took an (almost) 360 movie of the BlueZero, and a video of the Chevy Volt also!

Hi Sean, and thanks!

It sure is loud there...any dates, or specs on the BlueZero? I see it says "Lithium Ion Battery" on the floor beside it.

Nope, they didn't even have any brochures or anything. Just a little business card that said to go to MBUSA.com/Models and on the back is has the access code: A709154

But, there is no info on the BlueZero there

Interesting, the BlueZero isn't even a Kamm-Back design.

I just read quite amazing things regarding Toyota and Nissan slowing down in the US, but also news about a "Blue Benz hybrid going to China" is a similarity; a very very surprising turn of events indeed! I don't know for sure what is going on!

Sean T. -

Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see the Blue-Zero in 360. When I look at it, I keep thinking of the Ford Fiesta/Mazda 2 that's on the horizon.
