my honda pilot is not green at all. it gets 13-14 mpg city and 17-19 mpg highway contrary to what honda suggests. if you look at the towing capabilities of the GM SUV hybrids, it can tow 8100 lbs easily. it has autostop technology, AFM and variable valve timing. being green is just an incidental benefit.
