Ladies and Gentlemen, your finalists for the 2013 Green Car of the Year: the Dodge Dart (http://autoblog.com/dodge/dart) Aero, Ford C-Max (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/c-max/) and Fusion (http://autoblog.com/ford/fusion), Mazda CX-5 (http://www.autoblog.com/mazda/cx-5/) and Toyota Prius C (http://autoblog.com/toyota/prius+c). The list runs the gamut of fuel-efficient powertrains, from hybrids and plug-ins to high-mileage gas burners. The Fords, for example, make the list in part because they come in both hybrids and plug-in hybrid flavors.
The GCOTY is sponsored by Green Car Journal every year, and the publication looks for vehicles a lot of people will want to buy. Specifically, GCJ's press release says, "All are affordable mass-market products that provide drivers full functionality and mainstream appeal, paving the way for making a difference in fuel use and overall emissions in daily driving."
These five vehicles are also the cars that Green Car Journal is calling the "Top 5 Green Cars for 2013." From here, GCJ's jury of "top environmental leaders" along with celeb car buff Jay Leno and the GCJ staff will pick a winner.
Past Green Car of the Year winners have been the Honda Civic (http://autoblog.com/honda/civic) Natural Gas (2012 (http://green.autoblog.com/2011/11/17/2012-green-car-of-the-year-winner-is-the-civic-natural-gas/)), the Chevrolet Volt (http://autoblog.com/chevrolet/volt) (2011 (http://green.autoblog.com/2010/11/18/la-2010-chevy-volt-wins-2011-green-car-of-the-year-title/)), the Audi A3 TDI (http://autoblog.com/audi/a3) (2010 (http://green.autoblog.com/2009/12/03/la-2009-audi-a3-tdi-named-2010-green-car-of-the-year-in-diesel/)), the Volkswagen Jetta TDI (http://autoblog.com/volkswagen/jetta) (2009 (http://green.autoblog.com/2008/11/20/la-2008-green-car-of-the-year/)) and the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid (2008 (http://www.greencar.com/articles/chevrolet-tahoe-hybrid-named-2008-green-car-year.php)). The 2013 winner will be announced at the LA Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/la-auto-show/) on November 29. What do you think it should be?
