green car of the year 2008 announced

The Toyota Yaris has been named Green Car of the Year 2008 by the Environmental Transport Association. The least green car is the Dodge SRT-10 sports car. The announcements come ahead of the start of Green Transport Week (14th - 22nd June).

The Environmental Transport Association has looked at over 1300 models of car currently on sale in Britain and examined their power, emissions, fuel efficiency and even the amount of noise they produce to create the definitive guide to buying the greenest vehicle.

The Car Buyers’ Guide was first published by the ETA in 1992 in response to requests from its growing membership and has since become the environmental benchmark for the car industry and the public, championing the greenest cars in Britain.

The results are as follows:

I do. Well... not really. But there are lots of people that care which is why Toyota sold more than a million Prius’.

And if you go around saying that you don’t care about the enviroment around girls of today, chances are you are gonna get kicked in the groin.

So basically all the cars by GM will be referred to as real cars.

You know whats really funny? None of the American cars made the list.

And the Honda Civic and the Toyota RAV4 are real cars.
