At this year’s New York International Auto Show, green vehicles were more noticeable than ever. Some popular cars and SUVs got a green makeover with the introduction of a hybrid model. But there also were examples of squeezing more life out of plain old internal-combustion engines, as well as pure exciting news about electrics. Here are a few notable introductions from the show.

Lincoln says the 2011 MKZ Hybrid will be the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America.
Ford Motor Company’s Lincoln division today introduced its first hybrid, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, a premium midsize car that the company says will be the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America.
The car was debuted today at the New York International Auto Show. Lincoln said its hybrid is expected to deliver at least 41 miles per gallon in the city when it goes on sale this fall. That would top its nearest competitor, the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, by 6 mpg.
