Inhabitat TOP TEN GREEN TRANSPORTATION TRENDS OF 2008

6) MUSCLE CARS GO GREEN
2008 was the year that clearly showed that green muscle cars are nothing to sneeze at. Tesla finally started distributing production vehicles, Honda showed the FC Sport, Chrysler came out swinging with the Dodge EV, and Fisker wowed us with the Karma. If there is one trend worthy of being called wicked cool, this is it. 2008 clearly showed that sleek and incredibly high-performing vehicles can not only be green, but are worthy of competing against their fossil fuel counterparts. Let’s face it, when even Ferrari is going green, who can honestly still claim that it’s just a passing trend?

Different shades of green - which is fine - so long as people understand the differences and the implications.

Who can forget GM's magician/kids entertainer at the 2006 San Francisco Car Show:

Horseless Age: SF car show

This display clearly says to me that GM really believes that they can unilaterally brainwash the buying public into believing that the fact that their large trucks and SUVs (where they make the lions share of their profits) can use ethanol is the functional equivalent of "living green."
