Goodyear upgrades from blimps to Zeppelins
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, will begin replacing its fleet of blimps with Zeppelin LZ N07-101s beginning in 2013 as the blimps begin to age out. Zeppelins will then make up the firm’s entire U. S. airship fleet by about 2017. (Goodyear also has a blimp based in China.) According to the company, the new airships, which can be called Zeppelins or dirigibles, will fly faster, carry more passengers, and be equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and flight controls. Each of the three dirigibles, along with tech support, will cost about $21 million.

If i remember right its a german company that makes the LZ's ive seen them a few years ago on the discovery channel.
Yep. All the details are in the link I posted. The German company is called Zeppelin, but I'm not sure if it's the same company that made the pre-war Zeppelins.

One of those Zeppelins is in the USA tourist trade, based at Moffett Field in Hangar Two. (Hangar one, built in 1932 for the Macon, is much bigger. But it's being de-skinned 'cause of asbestos, lead paint, PCB oil, etc. )
Here's a picture of the zeppelin, as seen from my back yard about 2 years ago.
