Default Civic Hybrid Tops VCD Environment Car Ratings for Second Consecutive Year

Quote:
Offenbach/Berlin, Germany, August 15, 2007– The Civic Hybrid has been named Germany's most ecological car by the respected Verkehrsclub Deutschland (VCD: a major transport and environment organization in Germany) in its Environmental Car Ratings for 2007-2008.

As part of its rating process the VCD sought out the quietest vehicles with the lowest fuel consumption and the lowest level of emissions. The Civic Hybrid met all the organization’s requirements for environmental compatibility and comfortable driving, and it was highly rated for its outstanding quietness.

Apparently there were 350 contenders. There are additional notes from the Temple of VTEC:

Quote:
  • The Toyota Prius was second in the rankings with a 8.3 mark (vs 8.34 for the Civic)
  • Civic and Prius were the only compact cars to make it to the top10. The rest of them were all on the mini and super-mini classes
  • There was only one diesel car in the top10 (the tiny VW Polo blue-motion)

Funny how Sweden and Germany disagree on what the most ecological car is.
