Tahoe hybrid named 'Green Car of the Year'

Tahoe hybrid honored: General Motors' sport-utility vehicle, the Chevrolet Tahoe hybrid, was named "Green Car of the Year" at the show Thursday, according to USA Today.

The Tahoe hybrid is the first model from GM to use a hybrid system the automaker developed jointly with BMW, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler.

"They've proven that they can make beautiful cars, strong cars, keep the size, keep the safety, and all those kinds of things, and at the same time be more fuel efficient," said California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who toured the show after the presentation of the award.
