"There has been significant movement in the auto industry toward making mainstream models 'greener' in recent years, with notable milestones in fuel efficiency and low emissions," says Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal. "This is especially evident with hybrids, where gasoline-electric hybrid technology is being applied to popular models in the most important vehicle classes where consumers are shopping."

The 5 finalist cars are among the worst in my book...

I guess the cars had to be new hybrid releases in 07 or 08 to qualify since there are no Toyota or Honda models.

Out of those five, the Altima would be the winner in my book, but I am a little biased.

Wow the Mazda Tribute is a Ford Escape made in the same factory. What a crock
