My friend John over at Autoblog did a good job of highlighting the fact that the German automakers cleaned up when it comes to the World Car of the Year finalists. Speaking of cleaning up, (haha) a subcategory of the competition offers up some choices of the "World Green Car", also all from Germany. The finalists are... in no particular order...
- BMW Hydrogen 7
- Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC
- Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion

1. Those cars are all interesting, but the Hydrogen 7 is just stupid. If you burn hydrogen, do it in a fuel cell - makes more sense.
The Polo stands out, because it's more efficient than the Prius, not as dull to drive, and two thirds the price of the Prius.
The Smart? Sure, that's great if you want a two-seater.
The E320? Not bad either.
