Be excited, folks, because this is the very first picture of the Valmet Eva concept, the brainchild of Valmet Automotive. This is the same supplier — the same Finnish supplier, no less — whom we have to thank for the manufacture of not just the famed Porsche Boxster but also for the Caymen models. Valmet is also a big part of the upcoming Fisker Karma.

Back to the Eva, however, it is designed to showcase Valmet Automotive’s eco friendly side.

The concept’s body structure is extremely lightweight, its recharging systems and its electric system are both highly innovative, and all thanks to Fortum, an energy firm.

The electric car gets a lot of juice and inside it has a pioneering kind of HMI, which comes thanks to Nokia.

Every automaker is going environmentally friendly in some capacity or another these days, and Italdesign Giugiaro is joining in with a new concept. Specifically, they are going to introduce an entire series of cars which promise to be of a low impact to the environment, in conjunction with Proton, a manufacturer from Malaysia. The fruit of this union will be revealed next month at the motor show in Geneva.

This will be the first of those concepts, a car revolving around a hybrid drive system. The design is such so that all space is maximized. The concept is a hatchback with four seats and five doors.

Not a lot is yet known about the Proton concept, but as we get news, you will too.

Now that we have talked a little bit about the prices of gas, let’s talk about what these prices actually mean.  Honestly, the price of gas right now is extremely high yet people do not seem to care because they are used to it … which is weird right?  Back in the day, gas prices were right around a dollar and now they are well past two dollars and even up to almost three dollars.

The sad thing is the fact that hybrids and other electric cars sales are not even picking up – to me, that is something that strikes me as odd.  To be perfectly honest, why not buy a brand new hybrid or even a more fuel efficient car in order to save some money on gas?

The reason – I personally think is because people do not want to change their ways and they are scare of hybrids.

When you think about it – do you remember just a few short years ago when the gas prices were low and everyone was happy and then in 2008 – they spiked upward and everyone freaked out?  Well, now that they have gone back down and people have gotten used to the prices, what do you think is happening?

Well, that is exactly what we are going to talk about in the next few blogs, exactly what happens when people start getting used to the gas prices and being immune to their affects.

More on this topic in the next blog guys, you are not going to want to miss this one at all!
