The "Go Green, Buy American" cars event back at City Hall

The popular Going Green car promotion is back at City Hall (3500 Pan American Drive).

The event last month with Chevy and GM was a big success. Part Two in the "Go Green, Buy American" series will be Tuesday, June 30 at 6:30 pm.

In an effort to shed light on the latest and possibly greatest "Green" cars to ever come out of Detroit, Commissioner Marc Sarnoff has invited American companies to showcase their newest Eco-friendly and hybrid vehicles right here in the Grove. Ford is the only American Car company to not take federal bailout money. Their company executives will present.

Cars on hand will include: the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid which recently was declared the "most patented" car in American history, it has 119 patents on file for technology and innovations; the 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid -- rated the most fuel efficient SUV on the planet at 34 mpg; and the 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid (shown here) -- 41 mpg.

You can check under the hood, kick the tires and sit behind the wheel. Ford execs will even let you take the cars out for a quick spin. It's a great opportunity to see what American car makers have to offer. This is your chance to see these hybrids up close and personal and ask all the questions you want to the people who are touting their success.
