2009 Green Car of the Year Finalists...

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

...and you can't buy three of them yet!!  How hilarious.

 

Five finalists are:  

  • BMW 335d
  • Ford Fusion Hybrid
  • Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid
  • Smart ForTwo
  • VW Jetta TDI

It's the top three on that list that aren't out yet.  Pretty funny, but a neat list nonetheless.  Check out this post for more.

I'm a little confused - why are they talking about 2009 cars at all at this point?  Shouldn't they be talking about 2008 green car of the year?

 

A Ford Fusion hybrid sounds pretty cool though.  It's already a good car that gets decent mileage.  I would guess it will be comparable to the Honda Civic hybrid.

 

Sounds like the 2 mode Vue hybrid will be a pretty nice improvement over the regular hybrid version too.  Although the plug-in hybrid version got delayed until 2011.

 

The other 3 I'm not impressed with.  And I'm curious why the Prius and other hybrids aren't on there.  Old news I guess?
