Green Takes The Cake At Philadelphia Auto Show

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - From Ford to Fiat, and classic to innovative, there was something for everyone at the 2011 Philadelphia International Auto Show.

It seems for most people, green is the way to go and many people are going for 100 percent electric cars like the Mitsubishi I and the Nissan Leaf.

"I think this is the future and I'd love to have one," said one attendee. "I commute six miles to work each way. So, 100 miles for an electric vehicle is perfect."
