Most of us agree that the Kelley Blue Book is the quintessential guide to new and used vehicle information. Now, they’ve moved into the “Green” world with the launch of Kelley Blue Book Green, a guide for shoppers who want the latest information on alternative fuel technologies.
Everything you want to know about hydrogen, diesel, hybrid, natural gas, electric, flex fuel/ethanol and fuel-sipping gasoline cars is included. There’s a video section which gives the reader an in-depth look at the latest eco-friendly vehicles out there, and even features a section it calls the Perfect Car Finder.
Read on, the top ten green vehicles, according to KBBGreen, is next.
The Top Ten Green Vehicles of 2008
And why not kick off the new website offering with a list of the Top 10 Green Cars for 2008? You might be surprised as to which cars came out on top, and why. Editors who picked the vehicles considered fuel economy, price,comfort, performance utility and technology in making their choices. Included are the Toyota Prius, Honda civic Hybrid, and a variety of categories including full size SUV’s. The list also features a sampling of drivetrains and technologies available to consumers in the U.S.
In summarizing the new offering, Jack R Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com, is quoted as saying; “Our list of the Top 10 Green Cars shows consumers that there are fuel-friendly vehicles available in almost every segment to accommodate a variety of lifestyles, so you don’t have to sacrifice much, if anything, to go Green”.
Green is Good.

This book should be called the Fuel Efficient car book. Getting more miles per gallon and this is absolutely commendable is not green. In fact this title is helping to green wash the industry. 10% of a vehicles overall energy use will be used in the manufacturing process.
If this was included wouldn’t it force manufacturers to become more energy efficient? Moving a little further down the road to a just a and sustainable society shouldn’t the cars be judged on sustainability? What percentage of them can be recycled? What toxins or highly pollutant processes are used in their manufacture? Plastics etc. What are the companies total environmental impact of their businesses?
Consumers should also be told that it may be greener to hold onto their old car.
Please Low Impact Living Green = Sustainable
