American motorists are opting for more green technology for their new cars.
A preliminary estimate shows as many as 50 new cars, trucks and crossovers will make their debut during the annual event, the first big U.S. auto show of the 2013 model year.
A sizable chunk of those new models will be battery-based, including everything from conventional hybrids to pure battery-electric vehicles. But the L.A. show also will point out how even conventional gasoline powertrain technology continues to become more and more environmentally friendly.
