AutoblogGreen is covering some of the more eco-minded products automakers (the ones still standing?) are unveiling this week at the LA Auto Show. Above, the Dodge EV. "You can find all our stories on the show here," says editor Sebastian. " Lots of cool stuff being announced. We're also on Twitter."

I hate this 'green' or 'eco-friendly' naming craze that's going on at the moment. Reduced impact in no way equals green - it's still a car, which requires mines, steel works, plastics manufacture and all that other crap in order to build it, even before you consider how many emissions it does or doesn't make while you drive it.

Eco-friendly is planting native plants on previously deforested land, or reintroducing threatened species to their natural habitat.

Which is friendlier, if I punch you in the face, or just quick you in the shin?
