Got a guess for the 2008 Green Car of the Year yet?

Posted by admin Published in Etc., Auto Shows

We’re still catching our breath from the Frankfurt Motor Show and the LA Auto Show is still two months absent, but that isn’t stopping the LA show promotion team from getting our minds ready for the 2008 Green Car of the Year announcement that is coming November 15. final year’s winner was the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid won the award in its inaugural year.

So, we’ve got some day to chat within now an November 15, let’s do so. What cars do you think have a shot at winning that year’s award? ‘Course, whether you are of the opinion that COTY awards are a bunch of hooey and we needn’t waste our moment with them, go ahead and share that feeling,

too. We’ll take it under advisement.

What cars are up for the award? Any production models that will be on sale by the first day of 2008. The jury pool that year includes Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club; Christopher Flavin, president of Worldwatch Institute; Jean-Michel Cousteau, president of Ocean Futures Society; Jonathan Lash, President of the World Resources Institute; Automotive icon Carroll Shelby; and four Green Car Journal editors. Perhaps some of you can produce a fine educated guess by looking down that list. In any case, we’re all ears.
