Lots of people would say the greenest car is the Toyota Prius. But the study of The Washington D.C. nonprofit, examining everything from emissions and fuel economy to the pollution generated during the manufacturing process, says otherwise.
The 2008 Green Book Online says the greenest cars are: 1. Honda Civic GX, 2. Toyota Prius, 3. Honda Civic Hybrid, 4. Smart ForTwo, 5. Toyota Yaris, 6. Nissan Altima Hybrid, 7. Toyota Corolla.
The dirty dozen was also published, with the first being: 1. VW Touareg, 2. Bugatti Veyron, 3. Mercedes Benz GL320 CDI, 4. Jeep Grand Cherokee, 5. Mercedes Benz R320 CDI.
Wired has the whole list and more info. As i drive a Honda Hybrid and heard stories the car might not be so green because of the production process and the need to get rid of the batteries eventually, i was interested in some research on this subject.
But i hope more efficient cars become reality in the next few years, like the 2009 (?) 2 liter for 100 km's Loremo. Or the 69.9 mpg VW Golf.
woohoo, so we have the number 3 of the greenest cars of 2008....
