VW Jetta TDI won

Five finalists for LA Auto Show Green Car of the Year | The Car Tech blog - CNET Reviews
Five finalists were announced for the 2008 LA Auto Show's Green Car of the Year award. Only one of them can be crowned king, but which will it be?

There are a broad range of green technologies represented in this year's field: clean diesels, gasoline-electric hybrids, and a tiny, thrifty gasoline engine.

Will the winner be the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, which we've heard so much about over the past few months? Perhaps it will be the newly announced BMW 335d, with its 50-state-compliant clean diesel? Representing gas-electric hybrids are the Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid and the Ford Fusion Hybrid, with their all-electric low-speed modes. Tossed into the mix is the Smart ForTwo, a car that takes the less-is-more approach to reducing emissions and consumption by shrinking the car and the engine

Excellent choice IMHO; the 09 Jetta TDi Sportwagon (or is it wagen?) is a nice package for around $25.5K well-equipped.

With the exception of the charity benefit show tonight (tickets are $250 and $100 per person and benefit various charities) the show does not open until tomorrow (11/21) @ 11:00 am. I expect the covered vehicle representing the smart Brabus model will be replaced by a photo on the website tonight.

Brabus Unveiling at the LA Auto Show

Just taken from the press conference.

Mostly cosmetic: wheels, body, exhaust, pedal, shift knob, brake handle. Car is lowered slightly.
