Default Chevy Tahoe is the Green Car of the Year

Yup. The LA Auto Show named a gas guzzling tank the size of a small apartment the green car of the year. No word yet on the size of the bribe GM must have paid. Apparently the monstrosity is green because a marketing team at GM put the word "hybrid" on the product. Chevy Tahoe Hybrid. We will probably see an H2 Hybrid next.

In the construction industry we call it "Green Washing". There are many material supplier who claim their product to meet certain levels of LEED Certification when in fact they don't. The concept is admirable, but the all mighty dollar is corrupting the effort.

...the green car of the year? as opposed to the blue or red car of the year?...

Thumbs up Re: Chevy Tahoe is the Green Car of the Year

What a farce! Calling that thing environmentaly friendly is the same as calling
Josef Stalin a humanitarian.
