The World's Four Largest Automakers Go Green - The Car Connection Drives the Hybrids and Provides On-Line Reports April 28, 1999 10:34 DETROIT, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors and Toyota -- manufacturing partners for more than a decade -- have announced they are teaming up to develop alternative fuel vehicles for the next millennium. Likewise, DaimlerChrysler and Ford Motor Company are partnering on a project that very well could replace the long-lived internal combustion engine, launching a test of 40 zero-emission fuel cell cars next year. WWW.THECARCONNECTION.COM has the most complete analysis of these alternative and hybrid vehicle announcements, including what prompted these competitors to join forces to produce green vehicles even though the public has yet to show much interest. And The Car Connection staff drives both the Toyota Prius hybrid and GM's EV1, and tells the reader the real story on performance and practicality. Publisher Paul Eisenstein then goes for the first on-line test drive of two fuel-cell vehicles for this week's edition of WWW.THECARCONNECTION.COM. A new edition of The Car Connection posts every Monday at 9 a.m. Eastern time. Other highlights this week include a report on the future of radar detectors -- both from a high-tech and legal perspective -- as well as reports on the Audi TT, the upcoming VW supercharged V-6 Jetta Rsi, the Toyota Avalon, the Chevy Blazer and more.
