Interesting picks, but I’d like to see a more comprehensive Top 25 with a green rating number. If this were published each year, with prior year ranking, it would paint an interesting picture of how cars move up or down the list as new technology is introduced.
Personally, I have never been too fond of the Smart Car. I talked to someone that owned one and he said he was only getting around 40 mpg.
Personally when you take in its small size and the size of all the big cars you are likely to run into in America, it really doesn’t seem worth it. Especially when you can get a Honda that runs fairly efficiently and is much larger and safer.
Perhaps he had a first generation one though, so they might have improved.
tone health: Really cool article and that is neat that a car can run off of air.
Global Patriot: I agree completely with you. I wish they would have shown a more comprehensive list with more rankings and a wider array of cars. I also wish they would show cars from lesser known manufacturers instead of just picking the major ones .
Tiger: Good points. I don’t actually know anybody who ones one, but I have been inside of one at the dealership. They are pretty small and would probably not hold up too much if a huge SUV hit one. They do have a larger model call the fourtwo that could be a more viable option.
Sorry about the commentluv problems. I have fixed it as you can see with Tiger’s post.
I think we are going to see these green cars explode in the next few years. Gas is going up and down in price, not to mention the amount of toxins produced by burning fossil fuels!
I like many of these cars. The problem is they don’t sell. They need to figure out how to make “green” cars that people want and will buy in greater volume over non-green cars.
Yes, we do need such cars to keep up our environment. I just read an article in Yahoo about a car manufacturer coming with air as the fuel, wow…
