The cars that make you turn green

The rising tide, polar bears swimming for their lives and a country with 2 million people who burn dirty coal sufficient to cover the roofs should be sufficient to cause a person to at least try to do something good for the environment. But as much as we would like to bike to work, at least here in southern California, with the route most of the roads in the world, putting the pedal to the asphalt can be both a form of suicide as if it were a marathon.

The people of Los Angeles has a real love affair with their cars and not just some launch weekend. We love our cars. I love you so much it is rare that they actually had done with anyone outside the immediate family.

This is not unusual to see road astride the Lakers a person to a car. Oh, of course, sometimes you can find families in the path of diamonds and weekends you might be lucky to see two or more people in a car to go somewhere, but in general, and especially during the high season - the peak hours, the sound of a car, a driver.

The driver is just a very common animal in this part of the world to another and that the transportation fee would be giving up our privacy, our time alone. Since the period of driving during rush hour can last about three to four hours and the average driver must travel at least 30 60 minutes each way to go to work, coming to California to use this period of his life to reflect, catch up with friends, makeup, shaving or coffee with half-time library - Veal, three large latte, no foam, soy Americano.

And if we're going to spend much time behind the wheel should not at least comfortable? Of course, the real question is - Can you be green too?

In Once, not so long ago the Hybrid cars were seen almost as a matter for the future with jet packs and talking watches. But since the dawn of the 21st century a plethora Green and hybrid vehicles began to be produced and on a scale of mass production.

No Simple motor more power to go as fast as his grandmother Rascal with a battery the size of a workbench and a lifespan of a mosquito, today we bring a new generation of environmentally friendly cars any environment that appear, act, feel and behave like - cars.

And they come in all sizes.

If you are a person or large, all as his SUV But do not like how the Prius owners laugh at you when you go, you're lucky. Manufacturers like Toyota, GM, Chevrolet, Saturn and took his beloved and Green Giant. The Saturn Aura Green Line SUV is one of their newest hybrid electric, gas to the plate without eating dinner. New Vue Green Line brings together two mode of production of Saturn's 3.6-liter, direct injection, variable valve timing V-6 with two cooled engines 55 kW for electricity assets. This combination provides outstanding performance without sacrificing legroom or cargo space just because you want to get gas increased performance and save the planet.

General Motors finally jump the shark, and will offer 16 new hybrid models over the next four years. The same trend hybrid platforms will be seen in other models like the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Finally full-size truck that can have fuel consumption down much lower emissions and be part of the green revolution. Only a red neck and scratching my head wondering what is happening in the world.

However, if you like the idea of smaller cars and they want out of gas when you can actually see something like the neighborhood "type of all electric vehicles, such as the GEM Peapod electric car.

Yes, the Peapod. This small car for Chrysler GEM division ENVI seems more like an iPod accessory from one mode of transport, but the Peapod is an elegant ultra modern urban car, whose name comes from its teardrop caught in wheels.

Using the oval shape allows maximum interior space with viewing capability through large tinted glass companies, including a moon roof on their heads. With four seats, the wheelbase of 102 cm has a total length of 143.6 inches. It is only 56.5 cm wide, 70.5 inches but his height. This causes two inches shorter than the Mini Cooper Peapod, but with a longer wheelbase.

Truly a car for city Peapod drivers are 32 meters from curb to curb turning circle with the entire vehicle weighing over 1290 pounds. The nominal capacity is 910 pounds which is plenty for four adults in comfort.

The disadvantage is the Peapod does not take you out of town or anywhere that has a speed limit exceeding 35 mph, but can reach up to 30 miles on a full charge. After you need a plug in a standard 110 - volt and juice for six to eight hours. Not bad considering this as a great way to go at work, connecting for the day, then take them home.

Perhaps the Peapod is a little too small and vegan tastes.

How about the Chevrolet Volt? Leaving in 2011, this green machine has been introduced as a concept car back in 2007 at the International Center of America Northern Auto Show in Detroit and was an immediate success.

The Volt is a plug-in electric car with a range of 40 miles with zero emissions - In all electrical operations. After the lithium battery pack of 16 Volts is maximized kWh activates a small internal combustion engine-generator with a range of 300 kilometers. It is much rather than working on E85 ethanol fuel or a combination. car powered by electric motors.

And if you're afraid, you should give a good start, do not worry. time from 0 to 60 mph The Volt is between August and September, with a quick leap second maximum speed of 100 mph. Not bad for a car environment use that provides 111 kilowatts of power converted to 150 horses.

But perhaps like most people who tend more toward a culture of Goldie Locks, want something more in the middle. Not too much and not too small. Just right.

One of the most popular cars on the road today is the Honda Civic and now you can get a hybrid. Prices for 2008 to a range of $ 15,610 to $ 24,590, the Civic Hybrid is 40 mpg in the city and 45 mpg the road.

Honda is known for making reliable and strong cars the Civic Hybrid does not disappoint. The combined 1.3-liter 4-cylinder in-line with a 82 kW electric power and fuel injection system uses a multipoint fuel.

Or if you're a fan of Nissan, the Altima Hybrid 2009 has a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder with 89.0 mm in diameter 100.00 mm stroke, 9.6 compression ratio, double overhead cam, variable valve time / tree cam and four valves per cylinder.

The Altima sports a 20 gallon tank in the Honda 15 and also includes a multi-point fuel injection maximum torque of 158. The price ranges from $ 19,500 to $ 29,000, depending of course on your choice of options.

From our big blue planet is in desperate our need to really green, the selection of cars able to make our world a healthy place to live finally arrived, without having to give up our private space or time precious coffee.
