Answer 1

I'll be sure to thank you when we're choking and drowning in sea water, Wings Fan. You can make it up to me by letting me use your body as a floatation device. Or I'll just smack you upside your head with a goalie stick first. Either way, I'll feel better...lol

I'm a Civic driver, so I'll go with the Civic Hybrid. Depending on where you live, your state/provincial government will give you a rebate of at least two thousand dollars on hybrid vehicles.

Hybrids themselves has just as high of a top speed as trucks. Acceleration is a different issue. But, again, I drive a 4-cylinder, 1.6 engine Civic and I can still pass people; including F150s+ trucks. It's all about HOW you drive, not WHAT you drive.

Answer 2

The Koinigsegg CCXR 245 MPH plus no polution what more do you want

Answer 6

To me it's an easy choice.  A Swiss study recently determined that the Prius is the greenest car on the planet (see link below).  It's also a reliable, comfortable, and roomy car with lots of cool features.

If it's out of your price range, check out the Yahoo Autos Green Center.  It has a list of the top 100 cars by 'green rating'.

http://autos.yahoo.com/green/

If you check that out, bear in mind that the 2007 models have a higher 'green rating' than the 2008 models because the EPA changed its mileage estimating system in 2008 to make it more accurate.  Now it's more accurate, but gives lower mileage estimates, but that doesn't mean the 2008 models are less 'green'.

Answer 7

Buy a bicycle if you are truly worried about the environment since any thing else would cause pollution.

Answer 8

The Toyota Prius. It starts at $22,000.

Answer 9

The Toyota Prius. It starts at $22,000.

I own a 2007 Prius and couldn't be happier, especially when drive past the gas station. I typically drive 400 to 500 miles before I fill up (still the tank is not empty). Last year I averaged 54mpg. Obviously, your average might be different than mine. Depends on your driving habits.

It's front wheel drive, with traction control, ABS and stability control. Take one for a test drive and see how it feels. It's the cleanest, mass-produced car out today.

Answer 10

the Prius.

Answer 11

VW Polo. 60-70MPG and will do 125MPH. Seats 4-5. Much cheaper than EV or Hybrid. Better for the environment than both. Not only burns less fuel than others, but can burn Bio Diesel. To bad it isn't available in the U S. America's emissions standards are to strict.

Answer 12

2008 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton with a 6.0 litre gas sucking V8. Trucks are the way to go. Who cares about this "green" c**p. I wan't something that can actually get up and go when I'm passing some one on the highway. Something that has enough power to pull my neighbor out of the ditch. Something I can plow snow with. Something I can pull a full load of firewood with, and still have enough power to pass that slow @ss Prius on the highway. Buy a truck, you won't be disapointed!

Answer 13

I'm not one of the lucky ones that can have a "green" car...it would be nice though. I am into helping out the environment so I freecycle as much as possible. Good luck on finding the right car.

Answer 14

my favorite green car was a brand new green 1968 GTO with a black vinyl top that I bought when I got home from the service. thanks for asking.

Answer 15

I like my Viper, it's Kelly Green.
