Top 5 “Green Cars of the Year” Finalists Announced
The good news this beautiful Tuesday morning is that the Top 5 “Green Cars of the Year” finalists have been announced over at the Green Car Journal. The bad news is, winning this contest doesn’t exactly mean you’re the ‘Greenest car of the year.’ Why do I say this, you ask? How about trying this on for size: In 2008, the winner of the “Green Car of the Year” was the Chevy Tahoe hybrid that gets an extremely disappointing 22 miles to the gallon. Wow. This year, however, they’ve turned things around and it looks like the top 5 all deserve to be there. Thank goodness.Without further ado, here, according to Green Car Journal, are the Top 5 Finalists, ready to be voted for, for the Greenest Car of the Year:
- BMW 335d
- Ford Fusion Hybrid
- Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid
- Smart ForTwo
- Volkswagen Jetta TDI
For me, I’m voting for the Volkswagen Jetta TDI for the simple fact that I want all of us Americans to start adopting and loving clean-diesel fuel and not fearing it as the dirty, old, Mercedes spewing monstrosities that they used to be. I suppose the fact that it gets arguably the best fuel economy of them all doesn’t hurt. The time for adopting new, alternative fuels, alternative energies and embracing things that are proven to work beautifully is now. Start by voting for your pick for the Greenest Car of the Year!
