Lime, Forest, Emerald: The Greenest of Cars
Thankfully, you don't actually have to buy a lime-colored car to go green. Environmentally conscious and fuel-efficient vehicles come in red, blue, black, silver, white, gold, and even orange. But if you're on the market for a new vehicle and you want to make an earth-friendly and conscientious purchase, here's a list of some of the “greenest” cars out there. Happy shopping!
- Toyota Prius. At 48 miles per gallon (city!), this economic hybrid tops the list of eco-friendly cars. Revolutionary engineering enables the Prius to simultaneously increase fuel-efficiency while decreasing emissions. And its reasonable pricing makes it the most green you can get for your green.
- Honda Civic Hybrid. The Civic Hybrid boasts 40 city and 45 highway miles per gallon (mpg), and is popular among comfort connoisseurs and performance fanatics alike. Go green with unparalleled luxury and maneuverability.
- Toyota Yaris. Boasting 36 highway and 26 city mpg, and with a starting MSRP of $12,225, the Yaris proves to be both planet- and wallet-friendly. You can go green and save green all at once.
- Mini Cooper S Clubman. At 37 highway and 28 city mpg, the larger version of the popular Cooper proves that a bigger wheelbase doesn't have to mean a bigger carbon footprint. This car combines all the style and energy of the original Mini with the space of a wagon and the fuel-efficiency of a hybrid. And don't forget the BMW engine!
- Honda Fit. New to the North American market in 2008, the Honda Fit garners an impressive 39 highway and 26 city mpg, and is heralded as one of the most practical super-minis currently available. With the spaciousness of a minivan, the performance and handling of a sports sedan, and the eco-friendly attitude of a hybrid, this new model from Honda is the perfect Fit for anyone hoping to add some green to their garage.
